The Clothes Show to move from Birmingham to Liverpool
The Clothes Show is set to move from Birmingham to Liverpool next year, it has been announced.
After 27 successful years at Birmingham's NEC, the event will next year be rebranded as British Style Collective presented by The Clothes Show.
The final Midland Clothes Show at The NEC will take place between December 2 and 6.
Organisers say the Haymarket Media Group-owned event will be 'an immersive, interactive city-wide festival sweeping iconic landmarks across Liverpool' - at venues such as Liverpool Cathedral, St George's Hall and the Camp and Furnace Baltic Triangle.

Kathryn James, managing director of conventions and exhibitions at the NEC, said: "We are proud to have contributed to the success of The Clothes Show and to have hosted such a significant event in popular culture over the last 27 years.
"As one of the flagship events of the 73 public shows we host annually, we will be working with Haymarket to ensure December's The Clothes Show is a resounding success.
"We wish Haymarket the best of luck in their new endeavour in Liverpool."
Maryam Hamizadeh, director of exhibitions at Haymarket, said: "We are excited to announce our plans for 2017 and the launch of British Style Collective presented by The Clothes Show.
"We would like to thank the NEC and all of their staff who have worked on The Clothes Show event over the past 27 years making it into the success it is today.
"We will maintain The Clothes Show brand heritage and authority as the market leading consumer fashion and beauty exhibition, but refreshed to represent a new era and visitor experience.
"We look forward to welcoming our visitors to Liverpool at the new show."
