MODELS Sophie Robertson, left, and Jessica Bird strut their stuff as three of Scotland's most adventurous designers showcase their wares against a somewhat urban background at the Edinburgh International Fashion Festival.
Obscure Couture, Jacob Birge and Saunt & Sinner were commissioned by fashion website Crave to create couture collections for grand finale of the festival last night, with the one-off show held in the car park of the Ocean Terminal shopping centre.
The event was designed to showcase luxury fashion and included creations from Glasgow-based label Obscure Couture, which was set up by Lyndsay Pagan and Jenn Celine Coyle and specialises in unique "street/stagewear". Ms Robertson wore a multi-coloured skirt and fitted bodice designed by the pair.
The fashion show also included collections from Birge, known for his unconventional use of hi-tech fabrics, and womenswear designers Toni Roddie and Emma Noble, of Saunt & Sinner, who both studied at Gray's School of Art and are known for using Scottish textiles. Their red dress was modelled by Ms Bird for the show.

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
