This week we attended the launch of Belfast's West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK at the Merchant Hotel where it was announced that the Autumn/Winter shows will run from Wednesday 15th - Sunday 17th October.

We love the idea of the launch show being held on a steel runway in the Victoria Squareunderground carpark...very edgy!

The shows will then move on to a dedicated new space at the Europa FASHIONWEEK centre in Glengall Street for a fashion-packed schedule.

The full show schedule, design competition and master class information are available online at www.belfastfashionweek.com along with details of this season's trends plus links to all participant retailers and sponsors. Catwalk tickets, which cost £12.00, are available from the Belfast Welcome Centre on 02890246609 or via the website. Ticket price includes a goodie bag. ID may be required if audience members look under 18. 

Twenty one year old Sumaia has just had her first portfolio pictures taken with Belfast photographer, Khara Pringle and we were so impressed we couldn't resist making her August's featured model.

Based in Belfast, Sumaia has taken part in the Wedding Journal Show and a recent Clarins makeup launch and is keen to work on more campaigns.

The natural beauty enjoys running and keeping fit and currently works in childcare.

Demand is high so if you would like to have one of these gorgeous guys at your event be sure to act now to avoid disappointment.
