Night to remember as Yorkshire businesses celebrate in style at 2019 Fashion Ball
Yorkshire business leaders and professionals celebrated at the 2019 FB Fashion Ball and raised thousands for charity by strutting their stuff on the catwalk.
Around 60 well known individuals from some of the region’s top businesses took to the catwalk to model outfits at the FB Fashion Ball, held on Thursday at New Dock Hall in Leeds.
The annual event now in its 22nd year showcased clothes from Ted Baker, French Connection, Jigsaw, Hawes & Curtis, Accent Clothing, Oh Dolly and Jessica Elizabeth.
Organiser Lisa Darwin said: “Wow! What a night. The FB Fashion Ball is always a highlight in the corporate calendar and this year proved no different.
“The models did a superb job of overcoming any nerves and showcased some fabulous fashion with style. Along with the FB Business and Lifestyle Awards, the evening was a true celebration of what’s great about our region.
“The number of charities we have been able to support this year by incorporating the sponsorship element has been fantastic and confirms the generosity of the Yorkshire business community.”
