The Fashion Front Bzzaar

Bristol is a melting pot of creativity, with designers and creatives inspiring each other to get Bristol on that creative map, it is the home of Banksy after all. 

One such Bristol creative collaboration of late is The Fashion Front Bzzaar. As its name suggests this collaboration was brought to our attention by the inspiring Fran Rennison, the creative brains behind The Fashion Front  (No Debutante's fave Bristol fashion show) and Beth Izzard from Bzzaar, who is on a one woman mission to bring back the jumble sale and creates sociable events, showcasing Bristol's greatness by uniting local artists, designers, illustrators, DJs and clothes hoarders and keeping that Bristol collaborative charm alive. 



The Fashion Front Bzzaar was a pop-up, weekend fashion event following The Fashion Front 2017 show, which took place at SPACE, a creative hub on Old Market in Bristol. 
Many of the fabulous garments by Bristol's fashion designers that appeared in the fashion show were available to buy plus extra gems and treasures.

Both the pop-up event and fashion show were raising money to support young people with mental conditions in the Bristol area, alongside OTR Bristol, Fashion Front Fran inspired these kids to create some brilliant garms that also appeared at the fashion events! 


No Debutante went along to The Fashion Front Bzzaar collaboration, to view the fabulous garms from The Fashion Front show and hopefully pick up an item or two for the ever expanding No Debutante wardrobe (honestly, it needs its own room!). 

The fave outfit from The Fashion Front Bzzaar was a bespoke crop top and shorts co-ord in a wax print inspired fabrics which were literally made for me and was even one of the garms created by the OTR Bristol designers! It's now a staple part of the No Debutante wardrobe. Let's hear it for Bristol's aspiring young designers!

Fantastic Fashion Front 2017

The fantastic Fashion Front fashion show returned to Bristol on Thursday 20th April. This year the show brought to us by the amazing Fran Rennison and the Tail End team mixing marvellous creations by many of our wonderful Bristol fashion designers including Neat Frontage, Laa Woof and Puckoo Couture, with a selection of upcycled and handmade items by a group of young people suffering from mental health problems in association with OTR (Off The Record). This was a vibrant and fun-filled fashion show that Bristol should be very proud of, move over London....Or is that move here from London?? 

This year's Fashion Front show didn't disappoint with even more amazing creations from all of the fabulous fashion designers (named below) with outrageous and spontaneous fashion models who added to the Bristol swagger, this show was off the hook!


Many of the garments from the show (and more) shall be available at the Fashion Front Bzaarr this weekend, so get down there, grab yourself some one-off, creative garms and support local!
