Showcase Falling For Fashion BAHRAIN CITY CENTRE Fashionistas will not want to miss the current month-long campaign ongoing at Bahrain’s biggest shopping mall as the season’s hottest shoe and handbag trends are unveiled. Bahrain City Centre invites shoppers to step fashionably into the new season with a month-long campaign titled ‘Fall for Fashion’, which began on September 19 and runs will run until October 20. This year’s event will focus solely on handbags and shoes, with a large display depicting the theme taking pride of place in the Central Galleria. This exhibition features numerous styles available in the shopping centre, with quotes from celebrities outlining their favourites. At the centerpiece will be a larger-than-life shoe installation — a giant red shoe. Shoppers will additionally have the chance to win a daily prize of BD300 in gift cards, simply by spending BD30 in the mall. Furthermore, those who spend this minimum amount at any fashion store can double their chance to win and be entered into a draw to win a grand shopping spree worth BD3,000. To enter, simply complete a fun trivia card with clues found at the shoe and bag display. The centre is inviting people of all ages and interest to get involved. Anyone can take part in the ‘Does the Shoe Fit campaign’ weekends on September 20-22 and 27-29. You can try on the shoes and if they fit you have a chance of winning a BD100 shopping spree. School children from Bahrain Bayan School will be given the chance to show off their artistic talents by participating in a ‘Most Creative Shoe Box’ competition, on display from October 7-20. Social media fans can partake in ‘Do You Love Your Shoes/Bag?” by uploading photos of themselves modelling their favourite accessory. Each week, the most stylish fan will be rewarded with a BD50 gift card to splurge at the mall. And if that’s not enough, everyone who spends BD50 or more at the mall during the ‘Fall for Fashion’ campaign will receive a reusable and eco-friendly Bahrain City Centre branded bag, in an effort to prompt a greener environment.
