The first show was yesterday and they continue until Sunday.
Fashion brands including Reiss, Jigsaw, LK Bennett and Whistles at John Lewis, Marks & Spencer, Coast, French Connection and Timberland are just some of those showing off their new collections on the catwalk.
The catwalk shows are hosted by TV fashion stylist Mark Heyes and celebrity hairdresser Andrew Barton.
Mr Heyes said: "Vibrant colour is the main fashion story for spring/summer, so grab those shades and join us at The Mall for an explosion of eye-poppingly bright colours, glistening metallics and gorgeous summer accessories."
Mr Barton said: "We'll give you lots of tips on the new season's must-have items and suggest how to inject fresh summer style into your wardrobe without spending a fortune."
In the newly opened Joy Zone at The Mall, shoppers can enjoy complimentary treatments including cosmetic makeovers, colour consultations, mini-manicures and Indian head massage.
Tickets for the catwalk show cost from £7.50 and are available from www.mallcribbs.com and The Mall's information desk.

“FOR MY MUMS BIRTHDAY PRESENT THIS YEAR, I PURCHASED TWO TICKETS FOR THE FASHION SHOW IN THE MALL, CRIBBS. WELL, I CAN TELL YOU, IT WAS THE BEST TWELVE POUNDS I HAVE EVER SPENT. WE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THE EVENT. MARK HEYES AND ANDREW BARTON WERE FANTASTIC, WHAT FUNNY GUYS THEY ARE. I KNEW MARK HEYES FROM GMTV, BUT HAD NOT SEEN ANDREW BARTON BEFORE. WHAT A FUNNY GUY. THE MODELS WERE FANTASTIC. THE CHILD MODELS WERE VERY CUTE AND GREAT PERFORMERS. OVERALL WE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE AFTERNOON AT CRIBBS. I WILL CERTAINLY BE BOOKING TICKETS FOR THE WINTER COLLECTION. WHAT WITH THE DOOM AND GLOOM OF THE RECESSION, IT WAS A REAL BOOST. I DID TRY AND EMAIL MY DETAILS AND PHOTO FOR A CHANCE TO BE PICKED AS ONE OF THE FIVE REAL WOMEN. UNFORTUNATLEY MY EMAIL WOULD NOT SEND TO THE ADDRESS STATED. WILL TRY AGAIN NEXT TIME.”
