The festival, which took place yesterday (24 July), and was created together with agency Hot Pickle, saw Regent Street and Unilever-owned brand Magnum showcasing the ultimate outdoor fashion moment, transforming into a live catwalk.
A fashion show hosted by Magnum highlighted a selection of looks from Regent Street designer brands including Oliver Sweeney, Karl Lagerfeld, Reiss and Goat to name a few. Inspired by the new ‘Dare’ ice cream range, shoppers were also encouraged to strut down the Regent Street runway, appearing on the big screen in their own ‘daring’ fashion moment.
Visitors could snap their favourite catwalk look and tweet it using the hashtag #MagnumCatwalk for their chance to win a £200 gift card to spend on Regent Street.
Magnum gave away 45,000 ice creams, with guests able to opt for an extra dose of indulgence by visiting a 16-station ice cream dipping bar where they could create a bespoke Magnum for free, dipped in either white or dark chocolate or they could choose one of Magnum’s new flavours from the Magnum Doubles range. Visitors could also create a video and snapshot in a Magnum 'studio' hosted in an airstream and share these across social media.
Throughout the day a live DJ provided a soundtrack and dance workshops were held inside a ‘Big Dance Double Decker’ bus, with music and fashion from across the decades. Hot Pickle said that footfall exceeded expectations with the event trending organically on Twitter.
