‘Oh what a night’ and it certainly was as this year’s Fashion Kicks extravaganza took place in true glitzy style at The Point, Lancashire County Cricket Club’s conference and events venue. Hosted by Aston Villa and Republic of Ireland goalkeeper Shay Given, and his wife Jane, Fashion Kicks 2012 scored quite an exclusive with Westlife volunteering their services in what was their final charity gig as a band before they split up in the summer.
This star-studded red-carpet show, hosted by stylish TV presenter Dawn Porter, has quickly established itself as one of the must-attend events of the year, attracting leading lights from the worlds of football, fashion, music, entertainment and food.
Manchester City footballers joined their ex colleague Shay in the exclusive fashion show hosted by Selfridges. Guests were amazed as City’s Adam Johnson swapped his Nike football boots for Vivienne Westwood clogs and man-skirt while team mate Kolo Toure was bare-chested in a fur lined black jacket. There has been no comment from City manager Roberto Mancini regarding this being part of City’s new away kit.
