The Big Brum Charity Catwalk(BBCC) Event -
(2nd May 2010)
The Big Brum Charity Catwalk (BBCC) event took place at the Birmingham Conservatoire, fundraising 100% for the Birmingham Childrens Hospital. The innovative charity event in Birmingham sought to combine Fashion & Beauty pop-up shops, a Fashion Catwalk show and a Jobs Fair.
This event also puts a spotlight on the West Midlands and young people getting together to create opportunities for themselves, as well as making a substantial difference to their community. It also helped to showcase the multicultural and vibrant talent in Birmingham. Two of the fashion designers were selected to feature in ITVs Fashion Fixers and another designer has been snapped-up by a Birmingham-based clothing label.
