The city is preparing to strike a pose ahead of next year's Bath in Fashion.
The week-long celebration of all things fashion will be held next May but businesses are already being encouraged to get thinking about how they will be part of the clothing event.
Now in its fifth year Bath in Fashion is a unique event designed to put the focus on the city's retail sector as well as highlighting its growing links with the international catwalk scene.
London Fashion Week duo Edward Meadham and Banjamin Kitchoff will be heading for Bath next May for an exclusive interview with Bath girl American Vogue's fashion critic Sarah Mower.
Managing director of Topshop Mary Homer will also be a headline speaker along with Paolo Gabrielli - who designs for Clarks shoes.
A new addition to next year's fashion week will be a special pavilion where Bath businesses will be able to hold workshops and talks on their products and services.
Favourites such as Vintage Sunday at Green Park Station and late night shopping will also be returning.
Last year's Bath in Fashion secured £1.8 million worth of PR coverage for the city and organisers are hoping to achieve the same again.
Chairman of the event and director of Milsom Place, Sarah Mansfield, said the purpose of Bath in Fashion was to present the city as stylish and elegant.
"The festival portrays fashionable Bath with fashion businesses in the city bringing together top contemporary designers, commentators, photographers and illustrators to our World Heritage City. Always stimulating, innovative and diverse Bath in Fashion is inspiring and fun."
Bath in Fashion 2014 will run from 3 to 10 May. Tickets will go sale from early March. For further information or to register interest visit www.bathinfashion.co.uk
