Thousands of people turned out on Saturday 11 October to celebrate the official opening of Leeds’ newest urban fashion quarter, Clarence Dock. Hosted by Gok Wan, Channel 4′s fashion guru who was recently voted into the top 5 of London’s most influential fashion personalities, the crowds were wowed by a spectacular fashion extravaganza.A floating catwalk in the dock was the centre piece of the event with an unusual and cutting edge fashion and dance combination showcasing collections from All Saints, Daniel Footwear, Emma by Emma Somerset, G-Star, JOY, Moda in Pelle, Replay and Rock Couture. Cutting edge Leeds hair and beauty salon RMUK were brought in to style the model’s hair whilst the make-up was created by Bobbi Brown from House of Fraser beauty counter.
At Rock Couture, Retail Director Gillian Bowler, said: “It was fantastic – we haven’t seen anything like that since the first day of the Harrods sale! The range of customers was brilliant, we had women ranging from 14 to 40 plus, and they were there for the fashion element. The Rock & Republic jeans were flying out of the store.” Store manager Hannah Whipp confirmed: “It was a brilliant day – we were busy, not only on the Saturday, but all weekend. It’s such a beautiful place to shop.”
Simon Kidd, Commercial Lettings Director at Clarence Dock, said: “Despite the harsh market the advantages are that the brands here will attract our core customers which are young people. The young singles, young couples, with disposable incomes; they are not held back by family commitments, big mortgages or having to fuel cars.”
Mary Benson, a graduate fashion student from Leeds who appeared on Mary Portas’s television show ‘Mary Queen of Shops’ this summer, said: “This is the best fashion show I have ever been too – it was really good”.

Roberto, Massi and the RMUK Hair Beauty Salon team have been featured in latest issue of the Leeds Guide. Article By Annie Moss.
A Girl Couldn’t Ask for Moura
Annie Moss samples the RMUK experience
When he’s not solving our hair and beauty problems in his fortnightly column, Massi Moura is busy running well-established independent salon RMUK. So who better to meet for a consultation to plan my new look?
The first thing I notice when I arrive at the salon for my consultation is how vast the place is. The second thing I notice is the buzz and the busy yet welcoming atmosphere. There are so many stylists milling around, chatting and laughing with their customers while attending to their every need. Shortly after I arrive, I am led to a rather glamorous waiting area upstairs where I am guided to a plush designer-upholstered bench opposite what appears to be a bar. While I am waiting I see staff constantly coming up and down the stairs to the bar providing lattes and cappuccinos for clients. Moments later, I am met by Massi who is a very business-like, yet warm and welcoming, man who puts me at ease straight away. We dive into the consultation discussing what I do and don’t like about my hair and what he thinks would improve my overall look. I decided to put myself completely in his hands.
Massi seems excited at the prospect of having free reign to do what he wants with my hair and quickly comes up with a bespoke style just for me. To help clarify his plan, he highlights images and colour samples from a large selection of books he has been using as a source of inspiration. He also explains the science behind his choice of cut, colour and products.
Two autumnal shades of red are chosen from the brand new L’Oreal colour collection. I am the first at their salon to try them. Massi reassures me that these tones will work well with my pale complexion and blue eyes. Once the decision is made, I am led to a chair where I have my own individual TV showing the E! Channel. Massi gets on with mixing the colours while my complimentary drink order is taken by one of his friendly staff. I opt for herbal tea, which is delivered promptly in a little tea pot accompanied by a china cup and saucer.
RMUK offers while-you-wait manicures and pedicures, as many of their clients are, like me, very busy. So I go for an express manicure and choose a shade of red to match my new hair colour whilst the hair dye develops. Soon enough it’s time to wash off the dyes and add the lighter red tone to my hair. My hair is washed with L’Oreal Serie Expert Volume Expand shampoo (£8.25) and conditioner (£9.25) which is perfect for fine hair.
While I sit waiting for the toner to develop, I see the salon’s co-owner Roberto walk into the salon with the air of a celebrity. It turns out Roberto will be finishing off my hair makeover with a cut and style. Roberto approaches smiling and sits himself down beside me. He reiterates that the style they have chosen is short and textured, which will add body and compliment my bone structure. He shows me a picture from one of his books to ensure I understand exactly what he plans to do. After the cut is finished, he applies L’Oreal Serie Expert Volume Expand Volumising Styling Mousse for fine hair (£10.25) and explains that I should use a light mousse rather than a wax-based product. To finish off, he blow dries my hair straight and uses L’Oreal Techni.art Color Show Finish Spray (£11.30) to complete the style.
Although it took a bit of getting used to, I love my new style and colour, and am glad that I was brave enough to put my faith in Massi. If you feel your current style is lacklustre and fancy a change, I thoroughly recommend RMUK. It is perfect if you need a bit of pampering as the staff will spoil you rotten and attend to your every need. It can cater for groups, and is even licensed to serve food, so can provide lunch should you want to make a day of it. Also on offer are facials, waxing and massage, making it a one stop shop for all your beauty needs.
