As Gok Wan returns to our televisions with his Clothes Roadshow, showing the Nation how to dress on a budget, the Islands’ charities show the Isle of Man how to dress for less, showcasing the hidden gems that lie within our charity shops. On Saturday 26th November, Age Concern, British Red Cross, Crossroads Caring for Carers, Hospice, Manx Mencap, MSPCA, Oxfam and Save the Children will take to the runway showcasing a collection of outfits handpicked from their Charity Shops. The Catwalk Show will feature day wear, office wear, evening wear and festive party wear for men and women, with the Charity the audience votes to be their favourite collection crowned Queen of Charity Shops. In true Gok style, the Isle of Man College’s Art & Design students will be transforming rag donations into garments that Gok himself would be proud of. The Cosmetic Medical Centre, Emma MacDonald (hair) and GlitterMine will be styling the models and providing Cosmetic Demonstrations on the night alongside Avon, Pomegranate and others. The outfits featured in the Catwalk Show will also be auctioned to raise funds for the participating charities. Song and dance will also be provided by local dance and theatre companies and food and bar service will be provided by Davisons Manx Dairy Ices. Alex Wilson, Events Co-ordinator, said: “The Show will quash the stereotype that clothes found in Charity Shops are not worth looking at. The evening will be fun packed and help several worthy local causes. Thanks must go to Isle of Man Bank, Alliance and Leicester International Limited, Barclays Wealth and Davisons for their support.” The event will be held in the Villa Marina Arcade on Saturday 26th November, 7.30pm. Tickets are priced at ?10 and can be purchased from the Villa Gaiety Box Office on 600555, at www.villagaiety.com or the Welcome Centre situated at the Sea Terminal. ENDS
