Newcastle Fashion Week 2011 – Schedule
Wednesday, 27th April, 2011
Newcastle Fashion Week is fast approaching, with events, teasers andthings already happening around the city now. I did ask the PR people to email me some things and keep me updated, but they dont seem to be the most professional of people, they sent 2 low quality images and a press release, but no further updates. There was a cool feature in Fenwicks window which I could have featured, unfortunately nobody from their PR told me and it was yesterday – Not very impressed.
