Thursday September 26th saw the high-end designer haven Cruise open its stylish doors to the fashionable fanatics of Northern Ireland’s trend savvy, citizens for the launch of Cruise’s Autumn/Winter Collections 2013. With all guests in attendance sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the show alongside complimentary canapés courtesy of Wagamama with a refreshing cocktail or beer provided by Paint the Town Red and Peroni. A style party like no other.

 

Hugo Boss, Gucci, Mulberry, Dolce & Gabanna, Vivienne Westwood, Moncler, Paul Smith, Lanvin and Belstaff were all displayed throughout five high fashion scenes as male models took to the Cruise catwalk in a mixture of luxury casual wear and opulent and elegant party wear. Black on black, tailored layering, Autumnal accessorising and high-end statement styling were the main trends showcased down the designer runway. Creating a confident and carefully considered high fashion modern man, whatever one’s individual gent’s style preference.

 

Personal favourites arrived in a Vivienne Westwood t-shirt, a black Dolce & Gabanna bomber jacket, a Lanvin t-shirt, a Dolce & Gabanna suit and a Hugo Boss evening ensemble which also served as the catwalk’s closing number.

 

Having watched the show and gained some winter wardrobe inspiration guests were then able to browse and buy their favourite pieces while DJ Jay Kay provided some upbeat tunes for a shopping experience with a difference and Cruise staff at hand offering a personalised consultation.

 

Cruise is recognised as one of the UK's leading independent luxury retailers with a reputation for iconic international designer collections, directional street-led fashion and premium denim brands. Cruise, Belfast has both a premium and mainline offering for its customer.

 

All pieces showcased on the night are available in store now. Cruise will also be taking part in Belfast West Coast Cooler Fashionweek showcasing their collections on Thursday October 10th at the Designer Boutiques Night.
