A catwalk fashion show held in the Grassmarket has given six fashion and accessory boutiques from the area the opportunity to showcase their designers.
Featuring looks from fashion boutiques including Lady Jojo's, Godiva, Just G Boutique and Swish, and perfectly accessorised by Black Box and Fabhatrix, the audience was treated to a show with a wide range of styles, sizes and price points.
Under the stunning roof of one of the Dance Base studios, 20 looks were showcased followed by the opportunity to browse through samples of clothes, hats and accessories.
Greater Grassmarket BID project manager Georgia Artus said: "The invitation to this event challenged guests to rethink their view on fashion in the Grassmarket area, and the boutique owners certainly delivered. The Grassmarket and surrounding streets are fast becoming a hotbed of fashion whether you're looking for work wear, classic dresses, casual wear, bridal or vintage - there's even something for the gents!"
Another similar event in the form of a pop-up fashion shoot held at the Grassmarket Community Project on Candlemaker Row helped to launch a month-long campaign with pop up photo shoots being found in the area every Saturday (from Saturday 5th through to and including Saturday 19th April).
Georgia Artus added: "All you need to do is purchase an item in one of the shops in the area and then head over to the Grassmarket Community Project to be photographed wearing your new item or items. There is also the chance to be styled with accessories from other local shops so why not get the girls together for a shopping spree in the Grassmarket this weekend?"
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
