Last week Edinburgh hosted its first ever fashion festival. The peaceful, historic city in Scotland View image
was over run with modern day ‘fashionistas’ and ‘under-fed’ looking young models.
Heading up the show this week are Vivienne Westwood who is opening with a special one-off show designed for the festival entitled – ‘The Fabric Of Scotland’ which draws from her use of traditional Scottish textiles throughout her career – and of course adding a little Westwood flair!
Matthew Williamson followed with an impressive collection of pieces from the spring/summer 06 and autumn/winter 06/07 collections entitled “Then Now Next”.
It was the image of the Vivienne Westwood outfit that struck me most (as many of her pieces normally do!) But a common thought ran through my mind, the image of someone wearing the outfit walking down the street (more likely hiding in the bushes!) and it had the same effect as a lot of cat walk fashion – made me smile…
You never know, maybe one day this is the sort of thing we will wear to the office, or even a wedding!
