Style Birmingham

As you’ll know from the excitable activity on Twitter and Facebook, we have now launched Style Birmingham Live, a fantastic three-day fashion extravaganza taking place 24-26 September.

As part of the launch we got to announce that uber-cool George Lamb will be the host of the Catwalk Show at Town Hall. Across the three days, the Big Brother’s Little Brother presenter will host 14 stunning catwalk shows featuring the best of the city’s shops. Taking time away from his TV schedule, George Lamb attended the launch of Style Birmingham Live at the Town Hall where the catwalk show will take place.

“I get to travel around a lot in my job and I always love coming to different cities to see what they have and how stylish they are. I’m a man that loves fashion so it’s great to go to different places and find hidden treasures, and Birmingham is definitely a place for doing that… it has something for everyone,” said George at the launch.

“I’m really excited about hosting the show, not just for the models but to meet the very stylish people of Birmingham. The catwalk shows will have something for everyone; male or female, young or old, you’re guaranteed to walk away inspired this Autumn. See you back here in September.”

Throughout the three days, the city will become host not only to the Town Hall catwalk shows but also live fashion events at Bullring, The Mailbox and Pavilions.  There will also be in-store shopping and beauty events across the city’s best stores, including designer labels, high street brands and unique independents.

Speaking at the launch Alan Chatham, Chair of Retail Birmingham, the Business Improvement District for the city centre retail area, said:
“We all know that Birmingham is a very stylish city; with over 1000 shops in the city centre and a thriving independent sector, it really does stand out as a shopping destination. Style Birmingham Live will help to confirm Birmingham’s reputation as a leading retail destination and support retailers by attracting even more shoppers to our fantastic city.”
