✨ Celebrating Our Fashion Show Models & Sustainable Fashion ✨

We’re so grateful to all our amazing models – both returning faces and brand-new volunteers – who are stepping up to support this year’s Fashion Show 💛.

On Monday 15th September, we’ll be meeting at the Daffodils Dreams Boutique to:
👗 Select outfits
📖 Build stories
📏 Do fittings

Every single item on the catwalk has been generously donated by local boutiques and members of the public – all brand new with tags and never even been on the shop floor. 🌍✨ This makes our show a true celebration of sustainability, quality, and community spirit.

We’re proud to be a finalist for Sustainable Champion Award of the Year at the Wigan Business Awards – and our Fashion Show is the perfect way to showcase how preloved and donated fashion can still feel high-end.

Thank you to our wonderful models – we can’t wait to see you shine! 🌟
