Bullring Birmingham’s latest edition is none other than a Cruise Ship. The city may be furthest from the coast than any other in England but over the summer shoppers will be given permission to hop on board for an array of events – the first of which, a fashion show, kicked off yesterday.
Male and female models paraded up the 48ft decking on-board Bullring’s Britannia Cruise Ship demonstrating the key trends and must-have items for summer 2008 from All Saints, Miss Selfridge, Diesel, Firetrap, Lipsy, G-Star, Ted Baker. The event culminated in free make-overs for visitors to Britannia from the expert team at MAC.
