As the sun starts to shine in Solihull, shoppers are getting ready to abandon their woolly jumpers in favour of more summery attire!

To celebrate the change in season, leading Mell Square fashion store Aspire, hosted its third new-season fashion show on Thursday 15^th March, to showcase designs from its Spring/Summer 2012 collections.

Style savvy guests at the sell-out show were treated to a champagne reception before watching models strut their stuff down the catwalk – all wearing the hottest brands including Nica, Emily & Fin, Fever and new shoe label Chinese Laundry.

Guests were also able to take advantage of an exclusive 15% discount only available on the night and also took home their very own goody-bag as a memento of the evening.

Laura James, Store Manager at Aspire, commented: “Solihull shoppers are very style conscious and always keen to be ahead of the pack when it comes to the latest fashions so it’s easy to see why tickets for our fashion show sold out so quickly! Trends for Spring/Summer 2012 are just gorgeous with floral print dresses and bright colours leading key looks. I’d like to thank everybody who came down on the night – it was a roaring success.”

Paul Round, Centre Manage for Mell Square said: “The fashion offering at Mell Square is excellent and it’s great to see colourful Spring/Summer fashions starting to grace window displays all over the Centre. A fashion show is a brilliant way to show off new collections and Aspire’s third successful event demonstrates its popularity amongst our region’s dedicated followers of fashion!”

The Mell Square branch of Aspire is the boutique’s flagship store, having opened in October 2010.   Billed as an alternative to exclusive but unaffordable boutiques, the retailer sells a wide range of designer clothing, bags, shoes, jewellery, gifts and homeware – all at affordable prices.
