MERRYWALKS Shopping Centre in Stroud will be transformed into a runway for one night only as New Look staff put on a fashion show for this autumn’s upcoming trends.

The evening event on Thursday, August 20, is in aid of Macmillan and Teenage Cancer Trust, as voted for by the employees of New Look.

Guests will be treated to a fashion show, raffle, DJ and VIP shopping after the show.

New Look staff will be showcasing not only women’s wear but their teen range – Generation 915 – and they have secured a menswear range from the neighbourhood Cheltenham store to appear in Stroud for one night only.

Store manager Natasha Long said: “With less than two weeks to go there is lots to do to get the catwalk ready but the store team is excited to put on the show and raise money for Macmillan and the Teenage Cancer Trust.”

Models for the night are staff and friends and family who have volunteered.

Tickets cost £5 each and can be bought from New Look with all proceeds going to the chosen charities.

Raffle tickets cost £1 and some of the prizes on offer are a handbag and purse from Hothouse, £5 off at Hollywood Nails and New Look gift cards.

  • Macmillan Cancer Support's World's Biggest Coffee Morning takes place on Friday, September 25.
