GALLERY: Hitchin Fashion Week welcomes the catwalk
HITCHIN’S Market Place looked completely different on Saturday, as the town welcomed the launch of its fashion week with a catwalk show.
Models strutted their stuff down the open air catwalk showcasing the latest collections from 14 local independent shops in two afternoon shows.
Swimwear, evening dresses, casual clothes, wedding gowns and lingerie were just some of the looks put together.
The shops taking part included Apparel Fashion, Frocks and Frippery, Hawkins of Hitchin, Hazel Walker and Daughter, Jolly Brown, Rosita Lollipop, Rubarb, The White Wardrobe, Venus Lingerie and What Sarah did.
“We thought it was brilliant, and it filled the Market Place,” said town centre manager Keith Hoskins.
