A FLURRY of colour will flood Bicester Village today as the designer outlet welcomes the turn of the season.
The shopping village in Pingle Drive is launching a campaign called Spring Fever to shocase artists and designers who live and work in London's East End.
It will start with a Colour Walk through the Village today bursting with all things bright and colourful.
Leading the walk will be East End art doyenne Sue Kreitzman and include a host of other artists and designers who meet every month at Old Spitalfields Market to flaunt their fantastical clothing designs through the streets of East London.
It will be the first time the walk will take a detour and wind its way to Marylebone Station, where the colourful crowd will climb aboard the train to Bicester Village.
The Colour Walk will include, among others, ‘post-it poet’ Andy Leek who is the artist behind the powerful ‘Notes to Strangers’ series; French fashion designer Anne Sophie Cochevelou; milliner-to-the-stars Noel Stewart; shoe designer extraordinaire Natacha Morro and celebrity stylist Daniel Lismore, whose creations combine haute couture with vintage fabrics and found objects.
Ms Kreitzman will lead the Colour Walk at 1pm through the Village and down its main shopping avenue, leaving behind a scattering of crepe-paper blooms.
