The Countdown To Cheltenham Fashion Week Begins!

“I spy… a giant pink shoe?!”... there have been some rather strange games of eye-spy recently in Cheltenham, however spotting a giant pink stiletto in the regency town wouldn’t be a mistake!

The Cheltenham Fashion Week Giant Shoe Tour has been in full swing over the past few months with The Cheltenham Fashion Week giant fuchsia pink stiletto popping up all over town. It began its tour of the Cotswolds when it took residence at Art Couture Painswick in July 2012. From there it hopped around locations across the Cotswolds including Sanford Park Lido, Cleeve Hill, Cheltenham Racecourse, Gloucester Rugby Club and has even been photographed with the team at Stuart Holmes Hair and Beauty Spa.
 
This is certainly not all of the places the shoe has been spotted, and we often get people giving the lorry a double take as it drives around the Cotswolds with a giant pink shoe strapped to the back!

And in its latest location the Cheltenham Fashion Week shoe is sure not to be missed...
On Saturday morning the shoe will move from its current home in the Regent Arcade to the Cheltenham Promenade where it will greet Saturday shoppers. Sam Bawden, founder and creative director of Cheltenham Fashion Week will be with our giant pink installation, exciting and engaging passers-by with what Cheltenham Fashion Week has to offer. Including our fantastic 'Who Wants to be a Milliner?' event, which is set to be a truly unique show. The three professional milliner's set to take part are Catherine Povey, Ani Townsend and Holly Young, who each hold their own style and character within their creations.
After much anticipation from the three hat creators, Sam has finally delivered the materials so the designers can begin to dream up the headwear designs they will create in front of the audience on Wednesday 19th September.




So if you fancy spotting our Giant Pink Shoe in its latest location or just fancy a chat with Sam about all things Cheltenham Fashion week, pop down to the promenade on Saturday (15th September)! We will be situated right outside Cavendish House.
