‘Twas the
season for
stylewatching
An audience of over 100 stylewatchers turned out for the popular
pre-Christmas fashion show at the
Old Smithy in Godshill, organised by
the Smithy’s resident fashion shop,
Four Seasons.
A dozen models of all ages – drawn
from staff and friends of the
business – glided up and down the
catwalk in a range of 150 stunning
outfits from some of Four Seasons’
top designer labels – including
Olsen, Pret a Porter, Gerry Weber
and Bianca.
The line-up included everything
from glamorous eveningwear to
casual weekend looks, and smart
outerwear tailored for the English
winter.
The fashion show has been a
favourite fixture on the Island’s
events calendar for many years, and
is regarded by many as their perfect
pre-cursor to the Christmas party
season.

As usual, it included delicious
refreshments supplied by another of
the businesses in the family-owned
Old Smithy complex, the coffee
shop.
There was also the usual raffle, and
by the end of the evening, a total of
£1,056 had been raised for Four
Seasons’ adopted charity, the Earl
Mountbatten Hospice in Newport.
Said Rosemary Brooks, who runs
Four Seasons with her daughter Jane
Cross: “The evening was another
great success with a real party
atmosphere. We’re delighted that it
seems to have become one of those
must-do dates in people’s dairies in
the run-up to Christmas”.
