Last week, Buffalo Boutique marked the start of the fashion season in Cardiff with a beautiful press preview event showcasing their up-and-coming events and collections.
Greeted by a selection of cakes, nibbles, champagne and the smiling face of Pip Reid, we were in for a very stylish night. Set in the classy upstairs room in the quirky and unique Buffalo Bar, the event was filled with fashion writers, PR companies and the bloggers of Cardiff, as well as a few lucky members of the public who had managed to blag some of the limited tickets.
Before the main event, a small catwalk showcasing some of the newest vintage collections that the boutique had to offer, we were treated to canapés served by the models themselves and given the chance to do some retail vintage shopping in the style of renowned Cardiff vintage boutique Rose Tinted and newbies Rockola Reborn.
After a little speech from organiser Pip Reid, the catwalk began. In true style of the evening, the models (Hann Davies, Sophie Falcon, Alice Milward and Mari Evans) dramatically appeared from a side door before effortlessly walking through the crowd of spectators, stopping briefly at the end for everyone to get their perfect photos of the clothes. The hair, styled by Emma Kidby and Jenna Moreton, was in true vintage style with beehives and Victoria rolls galore.
The event itself was a celebration of the official relaunch of Buffalo Boutique on Wed 10 Octo, and according to Buffalo Boutique, this year is the year of the buffalo and to celebrate they will be bringing us a “one of a kind shopping experience” including men’s clothing, local designers and the best that vintage Cardiff has to offer. We were also promised many more fashion shows, giveaways and sweet treats to keep us smiling.
