<\/a><\/p>\nJames Beattie, Manager of Next at Pride Hill, was also delighted with the day and said: \u201cIt went really well for us.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThis the second time our store has been involved and it gave us the chance to showcase some of our new summer fashions.”<\/p>\n
\u201cThe guys doing the modelling were wearing our short sleeved shirts and tee-shirts and the girls had on our sleeveless top and a blouse with a cardigan over the top.”<\/p>\n
\u201cOur store was right next to the performance area so the early show meant customers were coming right in here after watching and the place was really hopping.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trish Grace, Manager of Roman, reckoned it was well worth being involved because she sold one of the dresses the store had featured in the show just minutes after it was seen being modelled.<\/p>\n
Trish said: \u201cWe had two dresses in the show \u2013 a floral print ruffle dress and a long gypsy-style one.”<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile the show was going on outside there was a lady in here trying on summer dresses. Right after the show finished her husband, who had been watching it, dashed straight in here and persuaded her to buy the long dress.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI took another one in green right off the mannequin and sold it to her. That\u2019s not bad going, so I\u2019m really glad we were involved.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the whole thing was a great idea.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chris Todd, of organisers Maynineteen, said:\u00a0 \u201cWe had a great day and, most importantly, we know that there was definitely footfall driven into the stores as a result of the shows.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know that New Look, for instance, had a lot of people going in immediately after their clothes had been modelled in the show.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe models and the rest of our team all had a lot of fun doing the event and we drew some pretty big audiences who were certainly enjoying the performances.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sharon Griffiths, of the Darwin, Pride Hill and Riverside Shopping Centres, was also delighted with the way the day went and she said: \u201cIt was a brilliant day and it attracted a lot of attention with the centres very busy with shoppers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe models were great and the routines were very well executed and it brought a real touch of glamour and style to the town.”<\/p>\n
\u201cIt seemed to go very, very well and was a very well planned event. The reaction from the shops has been very positive and there seemed to be plenty of smiling faces here on Saturday.\u201d<\/p>\n
