Nicky Hambleton-Jones Celebrates St Stephens 1st Birthday in Style

Nicky Hambleton-Jones, TV's 10 Years Younger presenter will be bringing her sense of style to St Stephen's in celebration of the new high street's first birthday event, 1st for Fashion. On Saturday 20th September Nicky will be styling Hull's fashion conscious of all ages, joining street entertainers, make-up artists and musicians at the party finale following a week of activities.

Nicky will start the celebrations at 11am presenting two models styled in this season's latest looks and will then introduce her three real life make-overs - all from Hull, who will have also been given the full head to toe treatment with make-up by The Body Shop and hair styling - at various times throughout the afternoon.

Chosen visitors to Hull's first choice for fashion, will also be surprised by St Stephen's Random Act of Kindness where you may be the lucky recipient of an accessory or other item to kick start your winter wardrobe, handpicked for you personally by Nicky. There is also the opportunity to win a great prize worth £1,000.

As well as offering celebrity style advice St Stephen's will be showcasing local unsigned bands, highlighting the city's musical talent, including Farino and Circus Envy. No party is complete without a cake, so bronzed stilted human statues will be on hand to give out orange cupcake birthday cakes to shoppers, whilst children will be entertained by face painters and Bearemy, the Build-A-Bear mascot, who will be out and about in the High Street.

This 1st for Fashion event will follow a week of celebrations, including 1st for Students on Tuesday 16th offering discounts and entertainment as a welcomed distraction for those studying plus 1st for Food and Entertainment on Thursday 18th when St Stephen's will provide tasting treats from resident food outlets and restaurants, great offers from the entertainment venues and a NHS Nutritionist will be giving out tips and advice about healthy eating. Only one year young and millions of visitors through the door gives St Stephen's a perfect excuse to throw a party - but a party is only as good as its guests so join St Stephen's in this merriment and the chance to win a fabulous prize worth £1000.

Diary dates: Tuesday 16th September: 4pm - 7pm - 1st for Students Thursday 18th September: 10am - 4pm - 1st for Food & Entertainment Saturday 20th September: 10am - 4pm - 1st for Fashion with Nicky Hambleton -Jones

Fashion - Dressed up to the "K" nines By Jo Allison
	It might not be over the top as L.A. or be home to the ludicrously lavish lifestyles of Paris Hilton, but Beverley can proudly boast that it's home to some wonderfully, well-dressed dogs. Just take a look inside the wonderfully doggy dressing up box, situated down Lairgate, Beverley. The Dog Shop is the fashionable dog owner's best-friend. When I stopped by, I Read more...

Fashion - My Day as a Model By Annie Wykes Photos By Mo
	Right, well to start off, I'm not a model at all and was really nervous about doing this modelling for Bekki, a Second Year Fashion Journalism degree Student, who studies in Epsom but is actually from Hull. I've always wanted to be a model and today I had my chance to get some experience in a photo shoot and so I took it up. For around a week before the shoot I had to drink loads of water Read more...

Fashion - Out With the New, In With the Old By Bekki Stephenson
	The idea of wearing old clothing as new developed in the mid 1960s. The idea of mass production was wearing thin among the trendy youths and so they began to search for clothing that made them stand out from the crowd, scouring one-off boutiques, flea markets and thrift shops. As a reaction to this newly acquired vintage vogue the 1970s became the era of the Read more...

Fashion - An Interview With Cherona Blacksell, Fashion Designer By Bekki Stephenson
	It is often a false preconception that coming from Hull makes things slightly more difficult, opportunity wise, to get into the fashion industry. This has always angered me. Granted, Hull is not the trendiest of fashion hotspots about, but as I hope ThisisUll's fashion pages are proving, there is certainly a lot more out there than meets the eye. So in an eager hope to promote Read more...

Fashion - Living With... Large Thighs By Jo Allison
	As summer shines upon us, I breathe a sigh, and not one of relief; tights are officially over. For another season I must succumb the general public to my wobbling white flesh, nylon coverings are just far too warm. As a baby, I was evidently very well fed, as they say breast is best, and as a result, I grew alarmingly large as a child. Looking back at old primary school Read more...

Fashion - Boys Catch The Beauty Bug By Bekki Stephenson
	Gone are the days when men got home from work, gave themselves a quick dousing with soap and water only to appear in the local five minutes later. Today, as the male population thrust themselves into the 21st century a seemingly more rigorous hygiene routine is in place.

Fashion - Punk; Thirty Years On By Bekki Stephenson
	Thirty years ago, gig tickets cost 50p, a pint of beer 15p and 20 cigarettes 30p. There were only three television channels, all of which shut down at midnight and the greatest fashion accessories were 4-inch, break-your-neck platforms. Indeed, in 1976 the world of iPods, satellite navigation, X boxes, and video phones seemed almost impossible. Perhaps not half Read more...

Fashion - A Voyage of Vintage Discovery In Hull By Jo Allison
	The world's fashion capitals have never to my knowledge once included the lovely English northern city of Hull, but perhaps this is about to change. Hull, not notorious for its fashion sense (unless you are a fan of extensive gold jewellery, tracksuits with the obligatory tucked in socks or small scraps of brightly coloured lycra masquerading as tops) has always had a underground Read more...

	A little shop of heaven, just down Newland Ave. Jo had been traipsing around Hull for three hours and rummaged through just about every clothing rail in Hull.

Fashion - If You Haven't Got it, Flaunt It By Jo Allison
	David Bailey's most recent project, Democracy, takes a frank, naked view of the real human body. Just what we need in our aesthetically obsessed society.

Fashion - Platform News By Bekki Stephenson
	From disco-inspired, glittering soles to five-inch wooden heels, platform shoes are destined to get you noticed. It is no surprise then that they were all over the catwalk this season.

Fashion - Fur Goodness Sake By Bekki Stephenson
	Supermodel Elle McPherson has backed out of a £1 million contract with luxury fur company Blackglama over fears that she will be targeted by anti-fur extremists. But should we really ban fur?
