The boutiques of Barnes take to the catwalk for another two nights of fashion, fun, fizz and all things fabulous
Barnes is lucky to have such a wonderful variety of independent retailers right on its doorstep and it’s important to support the High Street as a key part of the village. Follow the fashion show on Facebook & Instagram @BarnesFashion and at barnescharityfashionshow.com. You can buy tickets for the event at ticketsource.co.uk/stmarybarnes.
The charities supported this year are Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer (in memory of Dame Deborah James, who appeared at last year’s show), Home-Start and the Friends of St Mary’s Barnes.
Retailers showcasing their clothes for the show include Ridley & Co, The Wos, Iris, Milliemanu, Marco Tripoli, SW Ski, Editor@37, Leblon, Dilli Grey and Anne Gretton Milliner.
The Bowelbabe Cancer Fund was launched by Dame Deborah James. In the weeks leading up to her death she raised more than £7 million pounds to fund clinical trials and research into personalised medicine for cancer patients and to raise awareness of bowel cancer. Before (and after) her death, Dame Deborah inspired millions with her joy for life and determination to help raise awareness about bowel cancer. bowelbabe.org
