Local designer and retailer Melanie Bond knows that Spring is in the air and recently injected some seasonal colour into familiar Dromore landmarks with a fashion shoot promoting her new Spring collection.
In collaboration with local photographer Paul McFarland of Picturskew Photography, models Jade Topping, Jennifer Hetherington and Laura McIlhagger showcased vibrant day wear over a coffee in Barrel and Bean before making their way to the newly refurbished town park where Melanie’s selection of vibrant outfits and accessories really ‘popped’ against the backdrop of surroundings that were just beginning to awaken from winter.
The stunning viaduct served as a reminder of Dromore’s important place in the region’s history, perfectly complementing the modern looks on show to interested passers-by.
Dromore’s bustling town square was the next stop, where local cafes and the charming town hall framed shots of the models sporting looks that were the ultimate in ‘ladies-who-lunch’ fashion.
The shoot culminated on the pedestrian crossing on Church Street, where the images paid homage to iconic fashion shoots in international hotspots like New York and Tokyo – not to mention a hint of Abbey Road.

The Spring collection is now available at Melanie Bond Boutique, located at 5 Bridge Street, Dromore. Locals and fashion enthusiasts are invited to visit the boutique (open Wednesday – Saturday, 10am – 5.30pm) and experience the collection firsthand. For more information, visit www.melaniebond.co.uk
