Ohhh I've never been before but now I really want too!!

I went to the Clothes Show last year. The fashion show was really good, and we had front row seats! The clothes stalls can be a bit dodgy, a bit market-ish and lots of the same sort of stalls selling almost the same things. There are a few great stalls mixed in though, just depends on your style really. There were a few cosmetics stalls but I think mainly selling discounted skincare.

ooh how exciting!! i can't wait to go, i've never been before. are the clothes real expensive??
i'm going to so many beauty/fashion shows within the next few months, so good! i'm going to salon international with my work in october as well, can't wait for that!

Hmm, no not really. Brands like, Caprice Lingerie, Juicy Couture, David and Goliath, Forever Famous, Criminal... were all cheaper than they'd retail at in stores.

Just went on the website and noticed it's moving to the ExCel Centre! Hadn't realised at all, think I'll go again this year.

Have you heard anything about a music act for this years show (Shayne Ward last year!!)?

And thank you for the IMATS website, looks great... hope I can find someone to go with me... I can't say as my friends are as make-up obsessed as me!!!

i'm hoping to go to imats too, i heard a rumour that at the mac stand you can sign up for pro card without being in the industry. i'm not sure if it's true, but i'm definitely hoping so! does anyone know anything about it?

 

[glam8babe]

i really wanna go to this IMATS thing, and yeh seabird im sure there is a MAC stand where you can get the pro card without being in the industry. (vanessa from nessasarymakeup beauty blog went this year and mentioned people were getting pro cards)

maybe us UK specktra ladies could all go or something?
none of my friends are really interested in makeup like i am so they would be bored

 

[seabird]

ooh that's really exciting! i think i'm defo going to go then. we could also incorporate it into a specktra uk meet as you mentioned? luckily for me my best friend would come with me as she's into make-up like i am but i can imagine a meet being very fun

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

Omg I would love to go to this :O same with me to none of my friends are into make-up

and I live in scotland

why cant these things be in glasgow

 

[glam8babe]

we hardly have anything like that in the north east either

but i'd probably get the train to london from newcastle... im sure it would come from up scotland too

 

[x.DOLLYMiX.x]

If any scottish specktra ladies wants to go I will happily get train/plane down with them

.

 

[trollydolly]

yeah i heard that too but it wasn't London it was Los Angeles, not sure if it'll be the same here, hope so!

i don't know whether to go for the whole weekend or not. theres different speakers each day but i don't know whether it'll be more or less the same, prob will haha.

i can't wait. its at alexandra palace too which means it'll be massive!

i'm not sure yet, i work saturdays but i can obviously book holiday off, i reckon the saturday will be SO busy... i was aiming for sunday but even if it is busy on the saturday, i reckon the atmosphere will be pretty good!

 

[Luceuk]

I don't know my timetable for uni yet so I don't think I'd be able to go

it's my final year so I can't really miss anything. I'll go in 2010!

 

[User49]

Ooohh I'd LOVE to go to this! :0)

 

[user79]

Did anyone go to this last year? Are the prices of the items adjusted to the UK market (ie marked up)? I was thinking of going to this but if everything is going to be super expensive and all in pounds, I might not...
