Fashion victims or dedicated followers?

Fashion victims could be seen pouring into Birmingham's NEC yesterday hoping to find a way out of their sartorial predicament.

For dedicated followers, the BBC's Clothes Show Live has thrown open its doors at the exhibition centre to a show featuring live catwalk parades, top international models and showbusiness names from all over the world.

The event lasts a week, and as well as a chance to see the latest creations and the people wearing them, there will be plenty of opportunities to spend money. For the well-off there are stands by designers Betty Jackson, Patrick Cox and Ben de Lisi. For the thinner of wallet there are clothes from C&A and other chain stores.
