The details: The fashion show will take place from 11:00 to 16:00 on Cornhill tomorrow (Saturday, 19 July), featuring at least four Ipswich-based fashion retailers alongside live music performances, dance acts, and a DJ.

The celebration is being organised in collaboration with Threads for All, Ipswich Central  and Pammy Styles.

What they're saying: Reflecting on the business’s first 12 months, Threads for All co-owner Will Hamer said he was most proud of "surviving a year and doing well" and building "a growing customer base of loyal customers, some of whom have become more like friends."

Ipswich Central CEO Lee Walker  spoke of his desire to "ensure the town has a series of events throughout the summer," calling it "a chance to showcase our independent talent and give people a fun and free reason to embrace the town."

What's next: Style Edit is the first of several events planned for the town centre as part of Ipswich's summer programming. It will be followed by the Sweet Treats Festival on 2 August and an RSCPA takeover on 21 August.

The bottom line: Tomorrow's free fashion show offers an afternoon of entertainment on Cornhill while celebrating local independent retailers and performers.
