This was the third annual 'Spring Fashion Show' held at the Pitcher & Piano...Deansgate Locks Manchester. Giving the chance for up and coming designers/models/make up artists etc to make themselves known. A great opportunity for emerging talent across Manchester. The Spring Fashion Show was started by producer and designer Victoria Rosso, who also produces the successful 'End of Summer Fashion Show' in Leeds...may have to get some tickets for this one too!! The designers nominated include...
HUXTON
I love that this collection came together through friendship...two friends working together to create 'laid-back luxurious style' It has a great bohemian feel about it, mixed with the bright prints giving a bold edge.
