Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards 2009

A night to remember- the Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards 2009

Beverley Knight, Jo Wood, Andrea McLean, Brendan Cole, Lulu and Suranne Jones were among the stars who attended this years Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards. Prima readers mingled with famous faces for an evening of glamour, in celebration of the Great British high street.

The evening began with a glitzy Champagne reception, where readers and celebrities showed off their stunning party wear. Guests were pampered with manicures courtesy of Nails Inc, makeovers from Bare Escentuals, and hair styling by La Coupe from QVC, while Colour Me Beautiful provided mini colour consultations.

Guests were then treated to a show-stopping performance from dance troupe and Britains Got Talent winners Diversity. The talented group flipped and jumped across the stage to whoops and cheers of excitement.

The evening celebrated natural beauty, with a beautiful floral theme inspired by Comfort Naturals range. Tables were graced with fresh flowers shaped like handbags, and flower jewellery and hats, all created by Writtle College decorated the venue. And in keeping with this theme, guests were delighted to see some iconic natural beauties, like Lulu, who at 60 looked fantastic in a sparkly Chanel jacket and New Look shoes, proving that even the big stars love the high street.




The delicious three-course meal had a floral theme, and was finished off with a classic British cheese board, wine by Chamarre and some irresistible Thorntons chocolate.

A fashion show followed, showcasing some of best new trends hitting the high street this season, and then Primas Editor Maire Fahey took to the stage with co-host Jeff Banks to announce the winners of the Comfort Prima High Street Fashion Awards 2009.

Among the announcements was the winner of Primas Woman of Courage Award, with Breakthrough Breast Cancer. The four nominees were Ros Marsh, Annie Dewberry, Emily Holt and Val Paradine. Sadly Val Paradine passed away in August, losing her battle with breast cancer. Her husband Kevan and daughter Leanda were there to celebrate Vals amazing achievement. The winner was Ros Marsh, who continues to battle stage four bone cancer, while working tirelessly to raise money and awareness of this devastating disease.

In total, 21 awards were presented to our favourite high street stores, with Next picking up the coveted High Street Retailer of the Year award. With the awards complete, celebrities and readers strutted their stuff on the dance floor, while others enjoyed delicious cocktails in the lovely inside-out garden.

Maire Fahey is an absolute sweetheart. She has come a long ways since she played the part Eileen in the music video "Come on Eileen" in 1982.

She is also Siobhan Fahey's (Bananarama and Shakespear's Sister) younger sister. God bless them both!
