Fashion with a heart

The event will showcase ethically produced clothing from local shops and suppliers and also feature raffles with prizes, refreshments, and a presentation about the production of fairtrade cotton from seeds on plants right through to the factory.

Fairtrade campaigner Jack Doherty commented: "This is a first for Bexhill, a fairtrade fashion show, and also a development for Bexhill as a fairtrade town. People just think of fairtrade products as tea, coffee, bananas and other items but in fact there are over 3,000 products on the shelves in the UK at the moment."

The fashion show will include items from Natural Flow in Bexhill, Bishopston from Bristol, Nomads, Gossypium, and R&D Sports Shop in St Leonards Road which aims to supply ethically produced goods where possible.

Tickets will cost 3.00 for adults, 1.50 concessions, and 6.00 for a family ticket. Doors open at 7pm and the show begins at 7.30pm. Tickets will be available on the door or in advance from the Bexhill Observer office or Bexhill Caring Community, both in Sackville Road.
