In preparation for this event, a group of retailers went on a fact-finding mission to the London Fashion Week Festival and they returned with ideas from the latest trends to incorporate into the city’s own special week.
Additionally, Miss Lincolnshire’s Daisy Pope will put an appearance on the day of the Lincoln Fashion Fair (April 29) in the Waterside Shopping Centre, where she will be at her own ‘selfie station’ to pose for photos on Saturday at 12 noon.

Lincoln Fashion Week will kick off on Friday with exclusive fashion week tote bags at five locations in the city – Bailgate, the Upper High Street, Waterside Shopping Centre, St Marks Shopping Centre and the Cornhill area, where people will be able to pick up a bag and a programme for the week (between 11am and 2pm).
Head of Fashion Week Jess Wickham said: “People will be able to visit our “Pop Up box offices” at the Visitor Information Centre in Castle Hill, in the Waterside Shopping Centre and at St Mark’s Shopping Centre, where they can buy tickets for our Catwalk Show on May 5th in Alive Church.”
National and independent retailers will be swapping their window mannequins with live models at the St Barnabas Lincolnshire Hospice Shop, in Primark, Waterside Shopping Centre, Debenhams and Marks and Spencer on April 28 from 12pm to 1pm.
On May 1, the Children’s Fashion Event at Debenhams in St Marks Shopping Centre will take place from 2pm to 5pm.
A Prom Night event will take place at Debenhams on May 4, after being extended to run from 5pm to 8pm especially for teenagers.
There’s even more good news – a special draw will give a lucky man and woman the chance to win an outfit and makeover each worth over £150, with hairstyling vouchers from Talking Heads. The event is free to attend, but people must get a ticket by visiting the Eventbrite site.
The Catwalk Show held in Alive Church on May 5 is sponsored by Lincolnshire Co-operative and the Wig n’ Mitre.
“Everyone who attends the show, which starts at 7pm, will get a free drink on arrival. But the celebrations don’t end there. Tickets also allow people entry to our After Show Party at Home nightclub with freedom to jump the queues!”

The 32-year-old man and 30-year-old woman arrested in the murder probe of an 11-year-old boy in Lincoln have both been released on police bail, without any charges.
The man was arrested on suspicion of murder and the woman on suspicion of manslaughter after an incident at a house on Geneva Street on St Giles in Lincoln.
Police were called to the house at 10pm on Friday night, January 22.
The 11-year-old boy was found unwell at the scene and was taken to hospital for treatment.
He was pronounced dead a short time later.
At the time Lincolnshire Police said the death was unexplained and it was treated as murder.
The man and the woman arrested at the weekend were released on police bail on Monday evening.
Lincolnshire Police said in a statement on Monday night:
“Once again, we’d like to remind people that this is an active investigation and that an 11-year-old boy has sadly lost his life.
“Speculative comments are not only deeply upsetting to those involved but can potentially undermine our investigation.
“If you have any information that can help, call 101 or email [email protected] quoting incident 472 of January 22.”
Ten people from Boston have been given fines for breaching COVID-19 regulations by driving dangerously in supermarket car parks.
Officers were called after three separate reports of dangerous driving in the car parks of Lidl and Tesco in Wyberton Fen, as well as on Marsh Lane Industrial Estate in Boston.
All three incidents took place and were reported to police between 5pm and 6pm on Sunday, January 24, though it is unsure if they were connected at all.
When officers arrived, the drivers were seen doing donut manoeuvres and racing in the snow.
A total of 10 people were given £200 fines for breaking lockdown guidelines, but this will be reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days, due to all being first time offenders.
As well as the COVID-19 fines, two of the vehicles were also seized as a result of being uninsured, with drivers reported.
A traffic offence report was also submitted after one driver was seen to be driving not just dangerously but out of control.
Inspector Fran Harrod of Lincolnshire Police said: “We would like to thank the public for bringing these incidents of dangerous driving to our attention.
“This is not only extremely dangerous to those taking part but to others in these areas.
“While we continue to engage and explain with the public, this was a blatant breach of the restrictions which will not be tolerated.”
