THREE generations of the same family will be strutting the catwalk in Leamington next week in the annual Bodies & Co charity fashion show at Leamington’s Spa Centre. Libby Robinson, her mum Lisa and grandmother Marie Hughes-Price will join some 50 models, aged between two and 80, showcasing clothes and sportswear from national retail chains and local independent shops on April 3 and 4. They will be among 100 volunteer models, choreographers, dressers and stage hands whose combined efforts through the years have raised well over £500,000 for charities.
“It’s all very exciting,” said Lisa, who was a model in her teens and 20s, then started flying as cabin crew in the 1990s and this year celebrates 25 years with British Airways. “We’ve had lots of rehearsals and I can’t wait for the three of us to be on the catwalk together. “My daughter Libby is a student at Warwickshire College and mum, who turns 80 this year, used to run her own company in Coventry, Norbet Scaffolding – so we’re expecting plenty of support.
” Show director Jenni Fuller was looking forward to helping this year’s charities – Cancer Research, Samaritans and the Gap Community Centre in Warwick. She added: “There will be something for everyone, from toddlers to teenagers and men and women in sizes from eight to 18.” Tickets for Thursday, and any returns for Friday’s sold out show, cost £16 and can be bought either at the door or from Jenni Fuller on 0787 346 0185 or [email protecte.
