St Andrews Charity Fashion Show:The Fashion Playground

On the Saturday 27 February the St Andrews Charity Fashion Show (FS:X) will celebrate its 18th year in style, with around 1300 people set to attend the event. The 2010 show theme is the fashion playground, and will be housed in the Guardbridge Paper Mill on the outskirts of the historic sea side town. As well as the event itself, the creators tell us that the concept of the FS:X fashion playground extends to an online magazine and a playful lighthearted blog for the public to enjoy.

With a combination of garments selected from talented student designers and also bigger names such as Nicole Fahri, Luella and Bordelle; FS:X holds the title of the biggest fashion event of its type in the UK.

All the proceeds of the evening will go to the charity Watoto, an organisation set up to help orphaned children in Uganda. Through the dedication of everyone involved in the show, FS:X can potentially enable Watoto to achieve their aim of rescuing, housing and educating 10,000 children by 2023.

The St Andrews 18th Charity Fashion Show is set yet again to be a professional and entertaining event, whilst also making a substantial difference to the life of Ugandan children.
