Plymouth stores are joining forces for a week-long celebration of style and fashion, bringing you lots of events and offers.
There will be a mega shopping day on Thursday, October 30 with great savings at stores across the city.
The store discount card will be appearing in The Herald on the Monday to Thursday of Plymouth Style Week, and a list of stores which are taking part will be published in Her on October 29.
Also on Thursday, October 30 will be a live window display competition between 11am and 3pm. The Herald editor Bill Martin will also be judging the competition.
Ian Warmington, store manager of Derrys Department Store, said: "We are absolutely delighted to be supporting Plymouth's Style Week this year, which promises to be a great success. Shopping in the city centre has become more and more exciting, and we value the opportunity to encourage shoppers to visit the West End of town to see what stores have to offer.
"Derrys Department Store will be tempting customers with some fantastic discounts on Thursday, October 30, on our extensive range of home-wear and fashion items.
.
"We will also be participating in the Live Window Competition which we are really looking forward to."
Several shops will also be running their own competitions, displays and other special events throughout the course of Plymouth Style Week.
Watch out for more details in Her and The Herald over the coming weeks.
There will also be the chance for a student to win a total makeover – which will include hair, clothes and even their flat!
Face of Plymouth winners Debbie Grayson and Danny Harris will also be starring in a Plymouth Style Week photo shoot which will be published in the Her Style Week special on October 29.
Shops will also be showcasing furniture and home accessories which are available in Plymouth with a home makeover feature, also to appear in the Her special.
Jenny Bishop, PR and Promotions Manager at House of Fraser, said: "Plymouth is full of savvy shoppers and what better way to celebrate the city's style than with a week packed full of fashion events.
"This is a great opportunity for all the retailers in the city to work together and show Plymouth shoppers why they don't have to look further a field for their fashion – everything they need is right here on their doorstep."
Jon Reseigh, general manager of Boots in Drake Circus, said: "We are really excited to be involved with Style Week and we are looking forward to helping people look gorgeous this autumn."
Adams Spiers, director of Michael Spiers, said: "Michael Spiers is delighted to support Plymouth Style Week. This week of style and fashion coincides with our recent official appointment as Gucci jewellery retailers in Devon and Cornwall.
"The Gucci brand is synonymous with strong Italian design, craftsmanship and impeccable quality. Let's put Plymouth on the map as the number one style centre of the South West!"
David Draffan, managing director of Plymouth City Centre Company, said Style Week will be a celebration of the abundance and diversity of shops in Plymouth.
