Croydon on the Catwalk

Saturday, February 28^th was a day for people to shop and share in the ENTER experience.  It was their chance to treat themselves to unique designer pieces and be treated to manicures, music and much more.  Centrale shoppers were invited to showcase their dancing talents in the ‘head, shoulders, knees and toes' competitions.  The dance off filled the air with amusement and amazement as children and adults alike shirked their inhibitions and ‘got down' on the boutique floor.

Wanjiru, Dammy and Cherelle showed the Croydon crowd what models are really made of.  Donning Enter boutique's fashion forward ensembles every stride and strut oozed confidence and stylistic flair.   The girls were an absolute pleasure to watch and work with.  Please check our upcoming issues of Fashion Capital's weekly newswire for ‘Model Musing.'  It will feature my interviews with these and other model marvels. 

Now from the runway to the type of people we encounter everyday – the boutique was also home to one of the latest fashion v art exhibitions.

"I Feel Exposed is a celebration of emerging talent from the UK's fashion and media industries…The I Feel experience provides a great opportunity for new faces to develop as models.  Particularly those models [whose] unique look has not been widely celebrated in mainstream culture…" [Except taken directly from the exhibition blog]

This exhibition, under the careful art directorship of Bukola Dagiloke, takes observers on a journey into the model's mind.  The viewing continues in the boutique until Thursday, March 4^th.  You are welcome to come along and join in the Fashion Enter experience. 

Fashion Fever's juxtaposition of the ‘real' – the exhibition versus the ‘ideal' – the professional models was a poignant message to onlookers and customers that Fashion Enter boutique caters to the devout creatives as well as the casual and curious.   

Fashion Fever visibly and explicitly declared that our garments are trends tailored to all sizes and body shapes.  It was a celebration of the runway models and real women role models.   Don't just take my words for it.  Visit our uber-chic boutique in Croydon or Barking and make the experience come alive.

The Final Bow
