Fashion and Beauty Week InExeter
Taking place from 17-21 September, the week-long programme of events will be hosted across the city centre, celebrating Exeter’s diverse retail offering with many independent shops and High Street brands showcasing their favourite looks for autumn.
For the first time, InExeter will support The Vintage Fashion Show, a catwalk and pop-up celebration of styles from the 1920s’ onwards. With elegant and interesting one of a kind vintage pieces, colourful and classic vintage inspired styles, beautiful bespoke tailoring, and more, from Exeter based independent stores including Frocks in Swing Time, The Real McCoy and Zebels, Exeter’s style followers should bagsy a front row seat for their vintage fashion fix. The event will also include pop-up shops from beauty and style experts including The Den Barbers and milliner Rivka Jacobs. Creating that vintage atmosphere, specialist vintage singer, Terrie May McNulty will perform music from swing, jazz, showtunes, rock and roll, Motown to modern. The Vintage Fashion Show is set to be a great night out for all, whether you are a long-time vintage lover or someone who would like to try out a new look inspired by the past.
