Ready for a new look or want to revamp your wardrobe? Queensgate is staging it’s biggest ever fashion event this month and it’s free to go along.
The Peterborough shopping centre is hosting a glittering Fashion Through the Decades celebration on Saturday July 9 and Sunday July 10 and it’s packed with style, fashion tips and the latest looks.
Stylists, make-up artists and retailers are all coming together to offer a jam-packed, exciting two days of talks, masterclasses and 1-2-1 advice sessions, giving you the opportunity to learn tricks of the trade and leave feeling confident, sassy and in-the-know when it comes to fashion and beauty.
Katie Chapman, Marketing and Commercialisation Manager, said: “This really is going to be the fashion bonanza to top all the other fashion events Queensgate has ever done – you’d be mad to miss out on this one!
"The Queensgate team, retailers, make-up artists and stylists are all so excited about it, it’s going to be fun and fabulousness galore. So whether you just absolutely love fashion and want to be the first to hear about the latest trends, or you’re in a style rut and need a hand updating your look, this is the event for you. We can’t wait to see you there!”
Everyone is invited to the totally FREE event, which promises to be fun and fabulous from start to finish. You’ll get to see key looks from retailers, with many picking up on trends linking back as far as the 1980s, now with a modern-day twist to bring them up to date for 2022. Expect to discover all of today’s hottest picks, which will spruce up your wardrobe and have you feeling and looking the best and most fashion-forward version of yourself in no time.
Plus, you can take selfies galore with insta-worthy photo backdrops including a giant roller-skate, supersized ghetto blaster and a fabulous lips sofa. Queensgate’s Style Ambassadors will be on hand to help you get the perfect shot, and to help you with anything else you might need on the day.
