Ohhh I've never been before but now I really want too!!

I went to the Clothes Show last year. The fashion show was really good, and we had front row seats! The clothes stalls can be a bit dodgy, a bit market-ish and lots of the same sort of stalls selling almost the same things. There are a few great stalls mixed in though, just depends on your style really. There were a few cosmetics stalls but I think mainly selling discounted skincare.

Hmm, no not really. Brands like, Caprice Lingerie, Juicy Couture, David and Goliath, Forever Famous, Criminal... were all cheaper than they'd retail at in stores.

Just went on the website and noticed it's moving to the ExCel Centre! Hadn't realised at all, think I'll go again this year.

Have you heard anything about a music act for this years show (Shayne Ward last year!!)?

And thank you for the IMATS website, looks great... hope I can find someone to go with me... I can't say as my friends are as make-up obsessed as me!!!

i'm hoping to go to imats too, i heard a rumour that at the mac stand you can sign up for pro card without being in the industry. i'm not sure if it's true, but i'm definitely hoping so! does anyone know anything about it?

i really wanna go to this IMATS thing, and yeh seabird im sure there is a MAC stand where you can get the pro card without being in the industry. (vanessa from nessasarymakeup beauty blog went this year and mentioned people were getting pro cards)

maybe us UK specktra ladies could all go or something?
none of my friends are really interested in makeup like i am so they would be bored

seabird · 08-11-2008, 04:18 PM #7 (**permalink**)

ooh that's really exciting! i think i'm defo going to go then. we could also incorporate it into a specktra uk meet as you mentioned? luckily for me my best friend would come with me as she's into make-up like i am but i can imagine a meet being very fun

glam8babe · 08-11-2008, 04:38 PM #9 (**permalink**)

yeah i heard that too but it wasn't London it was Los Angeles, not sure if it'll be the same here, hope so!

i don't know whether to go for the whole weekend or not. theres different speakers each day but i don't know whether it'll be more or less the same, prob will haha.

i can't wait. its at alexandra palace too which means it'll be massive!
