Summer weddings, ladies days and proms...
Whilst we’re in the midst of snow and wild winter weather they’re all events that seem a world away.
But, according to renowned Teesside designer Kate Fearnley, Teesside fashionistas have been picking out their outfits for months already.
And you can catch some of her designs at a special charity fashion show at The Mill in Stokesley in aid of Cancer Research on Sunday.
Kate, 38, who lives in Yarm, said: “I am from the area and so it’s nice to go back.
“I have known Alex who owns The Mill for years and we used to joke about opening a cafe and clothes shop.
“Alex wants to bring something new to the pub industry to keep it fresh.”
The show will feature a mix of prom, bridal and race fashions for those wanting to get a step ahead.
Kate said: “Students have already started to come in with their ideas for prom dresses - and we have a policy where we don’t make the same dress for two girls at the same school.
“We encourage people to come to us as soon as possible.”
Alex, 32, from Stokesley who owns The Mill, Springfield, Stokesley, said: “I have been friends with Kate for years and always joked that we should work together opening a boutique with a restaurant attached - but for the time being working together on this has been hectic but really good fun!
“We’re always looking for new and innovative ideas for the pub and the fact that we can raise money for a wonderful charity such as Cancer Research and have a laugh doing it is a real bonus.”
Bespoke dresses from Kate - who has a studio on Linthorpe Road - start from around £170.
The event is on Sunday at 8pm and will also feature a raffle, live music, food and a welcome drink.
