For

the fashion aficionados out there, the annual Cloths Show Live is not
to be missed. Attracting over 185,000 visitors Clothes Show Live is the
3rd largest consumer event in the UK and the largest fashion and beauty
event in the world. The location for this year�s event, as in recent
years is The NEC Birmingham
where over 350 exhibitors from boutique brands, high street retailers,
designer labels and up and coming talent will be showcasing their
latest collections.



There is so much to see and do at the show that even the most fashion
hungry visitor cannot fail to fill their day with exciting and
insightful things. Stunning daily cat walk shows will preview the
latest designer and high street collections, some being modelled by
gorgeous, and highly trained dancers while the The Hair and Beauty
stage will be a great place to get advice and tips from industry
experts and to buy a selection of hair and beauty products to put into
practice what you have learned.



The visitor trend in previous years has seen the majority being female,
particularly those ranging in age from 16-26 yet in recent times there
has been a general increase in men becoming more fashion conscious and
interested in personal grooming. In an effort to address this trend,
Clothes Show Live have introduced more male brands into the show and at
the Show in December, a Guys and Dolls Music Stage is planned which
will offer men an opportunity to catch a glimpse of the latest menswear
collections through an entertaining dance and catwalk show.



After an exhausting day shopping you will have earned a well deserved
drink and their will be a number of themed bars located around the Show
where you can kick off your shoes, sip a cocktail and admire your
valuable purchases. If a cocktail isn�t your thing then you might want
to consider visiting the Wellbeing Zone, a place where you can relax
and enjoy rejuvenating, tempting treatments and get advice from health
and fitness experts.



The Clothes Show Live is on at the Birmingham NEC from 5-10 December 2008 although tickets are not on sale yet.
