As part of my primary research I attended a fashion show at Leeds Corn exchange. The show was held for the charity Leukaemia and Lymphona research. Me and my friend Amy went along to take a look at how a live fashion could look. The venue is stunning, The Corn Exchange is celebrating it's 150th birthday this year and this show kicked off a year of celebrations.

The show, in the aid of raising money and awareness for blood
cancers, was devised by final year Public Relations students at Leeds
Met and has already raised over £1200 after running online for just two
weeks.
Organiser of the fashion show Elena Dransfield stated: “Planning the
fashion show is such a big thing to take on alongside final year of
University but something very close to my heart. I lost my Father quite
suddenly to Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) in July 2012. If I can give
back to a charity that was so good to us in that short period of time
and help the aid of further research then it’s a job well done.”
There was also an amazing raffle with prizes including items from Dune, Radley and the top prize of a Mulberry handbag. This prize caused the most excitement of the evening!
The show was really good, with clothes and accessories from shops within the Corn Exchange plus a show featuring final collection designs from Leeds College of Art students.
One of the really nice ideas was a pop up photo booth. Guests could play dress up and have their pictures taken with the images being posted on the organisers website. This would be a great way to raise money for charity at any event, people were queing up to play around and dress up
The event seemed to be a success, judging by the amount of people their. All the seats seemed full and everyone was given a goody bag. The bag had items donated by local businesses plus information about the charity and the shops involved.
