A glass of fizz and a goody bag will be given to everyone who attends.
The show will be compered by TV presenter Katy Rickitt, from Good Morning Britain, who runs Dexter & Jones craft beer and artisan gin bar with husband Adam, who played Coronation Street character Nick Tilsley.
The latest looks from the town’s independent fashion retailers will be modelled on the catwalk.
Each store will showcase their latest looks to give people ideas of how to refresh their wardrobes for the summer.
Guests can then stroll round the town and enjoy a variety of complimentary services in stores including on-hand stylists and beauty treatments.
Davina Armitage, from Cocaranti, said “We are so excited to be involved in Flash Fashion Knutsford again this year.
“The shop always has a lovely vibe with customers enjoying an extra special shopping experience from all the fashion indies in town.
“And we can’t wait to show everyone our spring summer collections.”
New for this year is a talk by Laura Davies of Smook Styling which will focus on five steps to ‘Unforgettable Style’, hosted by Gusto Restaurants.
Sean Spooner, general manager, of The Lost and Found, said: “We are delighted to host the catwalk show again.
“We love being able to support our wonderful independent fashion boutiques.
“It is great fun and there is such a lovely buzz during the show.
“We also offer 20 per cent of our brunch menu for all the fashionistas on the day too.”
The event started in 2019 as a collaboration between Knutsford Town Council and local boutiques to highlight the collection of independent fashion retailers in the town.
Businesses taking part include Kanoa Living, Cocaranti, Redress at Dexter and Jones, Blossom Boutique, Paris Ladies Boutique, Bare Necessities, Willow Boutiques, Smook Styling, Chalk 33, Milania Boutique, Roberta Beauty Redefined, Zapatos, Second Hand Styling, Clare and Illingworth, L ’Atelier London, Smook Styling at Gusto and Lanigan and Hulme.
