When you think of the fashion capitals of the World, Hull does not come to mind. When someone mentions fashion capitals, they think of London, Paris, New York, high profile locations teeming with designer stores.
Many people do not realise it, but Hull is full of fashion! If you want high end you can visit House of Fraser or Debenhams. But if you want to bag a bargain, Primark is only a five minute walk away. There is something for everyone.
Hull has three shopping centres, the originals Princes Quay and Prospect Centre, as well as the new St Stephens Centre, which is full of high street stores and places to eat. It even has its own gym and cinema.

It sees the city centre’s high street chains, independent boutiques, hairdressers and beauty parlours come together to exhibit their products across a week long style extravaganza’ (Hullfashionweek.co.uk).
