BD@FC – Bath

Greetings from Bath. British Designers kicked off the Freedom Fashion show in Bath’s elegant Assembly Rooms last week with a vibrant colour blocking story. The models did exceptionally well to bring the garments to life and funds were raised for a great cause. We have more shows on the agenda throughout March so watch this space! The boutique is certainly getting out there as our designers feature in a 6-page spread on Bath fashion in ‘The Bath Magazine’ this month. We have also been busy with the design competition – JoJo is in a scanning and uploading frenzy as lots of last minute entries have come in – more on this next time. Until then, we wish you stylish week.
