Fashion Sans Frontier Show

Fashion sans Frontieres

On Thursday 11th August, Ireland joins Russia and the UK on the catwalk at the Festival of Quilts, NEC, Birmingham to model their fabulous quilted creations in friendly rivalry.

According to the Festival of Quilts Website (www.twistedthread.co.uk) " Last year's inaugural fashion show was hot but the 2011 event promises to be even better! The show will be slicker, shorter and feature big screens for great views of the stunning creations".

Representing Ireland will be four IPS members and designers who are each producing a collection of 4 outfits for the show.

 If you are going to the Festival of Quilts this year, support our fellow IPS members by booking a ticket on the Thursday night for the fashion show. Tickets are £20 for which you get a delicious two course buffet supper followed by an inspiring fashion show.

The Fashion Show is on: Thursday 11th August, 7:30pm, Hilton Birmingham Metropole
