Mayor John McArdle got more than he bargained for when he was measured up for an outfit at the launch of Newry Style City 2013.
With Style City just around the corner ‘Fashionista’s’ and trend setters can look forward to a long weekend of fashion, style and glamour during what has become one of the most important dates in the retailing calendar in Newry and if you want to get involved a launch party this Wednesday at Cobbles is where you need to be!
One of Northern Ireland’s leading retail initiatives the festival is back for a 3rd season with a full schedule of exciting shows and fashion events taking place across the city from the 18th to 21st April.
This year Newry Chamber of Commerce & Trade in association with Newry & Mourne District Council, Buttercrane Shopping Centre and The Quays Shopping Centre hopes that Newry Style City 2013 will be even better than previous years. Celebrating Spring/Summer 2013’s key trends including monochrome and Mi Moneda, the programme includes four days of events with something for everyone. The event will see the return of the Newry Style Awards in the Bank Bar as well as new trendy events, Southern Regional College Style Secrets with Marietta Doran in Bellini’s and Chic Sunday Fashion Afternoon Tea in the Canal Court as well as many glamorous and fashionable events in venues right across the city and beyond throughout the weekend.
The Newry Style City 2013 launch party will take place on Wednesday 27th March from 5.30pm to 6.30pm at Cobbles Bar & Restaurant in Newry. All retailers, service providers, the hospitality sector and those who wish to get a flavour of the schedule of events as well as those that may be interested in organising their own event are invited to come along.
