A first for Brighton - I styled, staged and produced 4 flash mob fashion shows taking Brighton by storm on Saturday 31st August.
The day began with rehearsing 6 models the routine at the Thistle Hotel, Brighton. At 2pm we all went to
Joules in East Street for the models to change into their outfits. Jonno and Rich from
Fickle Events had the speakers and mike all in place outside the shop. Once everyone was ready and the taxis were clear, the music - Dancing in the Streets - played out and the models came out of Joules and modelled the outfits to a huge crowd of people who had stopped to watch.

After Joules the models returned into the shop to change and go to Porta and
Storm in Bond Street. The models changed while Jonno and Rich reset the music and were then adorned with all types of bags, jewellery and watches. Once everyone was ready the models burst out of the shops and performed the routine again to the excited crowds.

Once the models had changed out of the accessories the next stop was
Links of London in East Street. The girls changed into black dresses and heels and the boys into black trousers and waistcoats. The Links staff gave the models necklaces, bracelets, rings and watches and the girls all had a Links bag to show off. The routine was performed to Cee Lo Green's Bigger City Bright Lights, a more sophisticated tune for the brand.

The final flash mob show was in the foyer of the
Thistle Hotel much to the amusement of the guests and staff.
The day was a great success for the shops and The Argus newspaper featured the event on the front page of their business section.
Thanks to all the models, Jayne Read for the makeup, Fickle Events and
Larry Bray for the photos.
