Bristol Fashion and Beauty Round Up - September

Welcome to the first post in a new series of fashion and beauty round-ups.  I'm hoping to feature all the news, events, launches and special offers taking place in Bristol and the surrounding area each month, so you can add the dates to your diary.

Benefit to Launch in Harvey Nichols

First up, Benefit are opening up a new counter in Harvey Nichols!  They will be opening on Saturday 3rd September to coincide with the launch of two new Benefit products - They're Real Mascara and Ring my Bella fragrance which will be available in store.  The Benefit counter will also feature a brow bar - very handy for a quick tidy up!

Vogue Fashion's Night Out

On Thursday 8th September, Bristol will be taking part in the global Vogue Fashion's Night Out event.  The Harvey Nichols store will be open from 5pm to 8pm to celebrate and will feature a Styling Booth with outfits created by the in-store Personal Shoppers.  Fashion Night Out T-shirts will be on sale as well as a DJ in store and cocktails!

There will also be events in Beyond Beauty, with treatments and activities happening at Paperlash, Violent Lips, Nailease and Blink.

On Tuesday 13th September from 7.30pm to 9pm, Harvey Nichols and Land Rover will be hosting a fashion show at the new M Shed Museum.

Parading down the runway will be clothes from the new collections by Alexander McQueen, MaxMara, Diane Von Furstenberg, Dolce & Gabbana and Gucci.  Land Rover cars will also be on display.

The tickets cost £20 and they include a Champagne reception, luxury goody bag and a 10% discount card for fashion and accessory purchases in store until 20th September.  The tickts are available from Harvey Nichols.

Bristol Fashion Week 2011 at The Mall

From Wednesday 21st to Sunday 25th September, The Mall at Cribbs Causeway will be hosting a series of fashion shows as part of Autumn/Winter Bristol Fashion week.  Standard tickets cost £8.95 and are available from the Mall's website.

Cabot Circus Autumn/Winter Fashion Tour

On Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th September, Cabot Circus will host the Autumn/Winter Fashion Tour 2011, with free fashion shows, fashion offers and free beauty samples.  Click here for further details.

So, there are some dates for your diary - a busy month in Bristol, especially in fashion.  I'm planning on attending the Harvey Nichols/Land Rover Fashion Show and one of the Bristol Fashion Week shows at the Mall.  I went to Bristol Fashion Week last year, and thought it was great!

I'm concious that only larger companies have responded to my round-up call.  Please do contact me if you run a smaller business and have events or news to share - I'm keen to include everyone in my round-ups.  Let me know if you have a September event/offer/launch planned and I will add it to the list, or if you have forthcoming activities planned in October, for next month's post.

Thanks for reading! xx
