Rum’s Eg Fashion Show Sparkles With Success

Rum’s Eg of Romsey kicked off the Christmas party season on Thursday with its first festive fashion show ‘Sparkle and Tinsel’ in association with La Creme Dress Agency.

The sell out event hosted by Radio Solent presenter, Katie Martin raised over £1,000.

Guests enjoyed a stunning catwalk show of beautifully styled and accessorized designer and premium brand outfits all available to buy on the night for a fraction of the normal retail price.

Director of Hampshire Art and Craft CIC Siriol Sherlock said:
‘We had a wonderful evening and it was a great opportunity for two Romsey companies to work together to produce such a mutually beneficial event. The proceeds will go towards the final equipping of our 'Education Suite'.
The 2nd floor suite, consisting of the Leckford Art Studio, Longstock Meeting Room, office and toilet have been largely paid for by Waitrose Community Matters Fund (£10,000) and Hampshire County Council Community Building Fund (£12,500) plus some new Artist and local Patrons who have loaned or donated money.
A total close to £100,000 has now been raised to do everything and complete all three floors - except the lift extension and that is for our next funding round, for Phase 3! The second floor spaces will be ready for full use early in 2014 with the opportunity for local community groups and businesses to use these spaces.'
