In early December of 2014 my college class took a trip to Clothes Show Live in Birmingham. Growing up in a small village and the biggest city I've been to was always Belfast going to Birmingham was a big deal. Clothes Show live was held in the NEC.
We decided to fly over which if I ever go again i will NOT do simply because when flying there is so much security with makeup and to much stuff so no one could buy a lot because of that but i will definitely go by ferry next year.
It was honestly one of my favorite days ever, the atmosphere, the shopping, the fashion show, everyone dressed perfectly, it was great. I honestly was not expecting it to be anything like it turned out to be.
If you are thinking on going DO! I didn't take much money with me as I was not expecting everything to be so cheap, we went on the last day of the week so by the end of the day everything was 10x cheaper than earlier that day when we arrived and the rest of the week so that's also something to think about, you see and meet all kinds of people and it really shows you that everyone is different not two people are the same, yes yous may be alike, a lot maybe but NEVER the same.
If you are a Fashion Student or thinking of becoming a Fashion Student or working in the industry you really should go, there is amazing stalls which have Fashion work from university's in England, it really opens your eyes to what it will be like. you get to ask questions even stupid ones that you wouldn't ask someone you know because your there one day your never going to see that person again, I asked a lot of questions and found out a lot about going on to university and i also got amazing inspiration for my college work this year.
In middle of the shopping (stalls) they had a little stage which me and my friends found at the last minute, there was a small fashion show currently happening (well it was ending) then they announced that two of my favorite Youtubers are about to come on stage ...
Mazzi Maz and Andy Samuels,
I also got to met Amy Childs, Jamie Laing and Ricky Rayment.
I honestly had so much fun and even though I left my house at 7am traveled 2 hours to the boat I wasn't tired one bit (until the plane of course)
In conclusion i had the best day and I HIGHLY recommend EVERYONE to go! you wont regret it!
