Nightwalk SS13

The Arches opened its doors on Tuesday night to all the Scottish fashionistas once again for the return of Nightwalk and I was lucky enough to be backstage as a dresser at Glasgow's biggest fashion show event. 

Founder of Nightwalk Angie Koorbanally aims to promote Scottish talent from designers to models which I love and it was one of the first things that attached me to Nightwalk, as a fashion student I totally understand the difficulty of getting your name 'out there' as Scotland is sometimes overlooked as a place that has fashion potential.  

The designers this year were absolutely amazing they certainly proved that Scotland has fashion talent,  I was luckily enough to see Obscure Couture' latest collection which was incredible, if you love fairytale then it's totally up your street. As well as the Obscure Couture girls there were Allenomis, Angela Beaumont, Anna Antczak Corsets, Blunt Collection, Catriona Macallister, Claudette, Curiouscope, Danni McWilliams, Maggie Mowbray Millinery, NLM Design, Off With Her Head Millinery, Pschomoda, Red Carpet Dresses, Spencer Clothing and Vanilla Ink showing their latest collections on the runway. I couldn't see the show itself as I was backstage but after seeing the pictures it looked so good. The music was excellent too, it's amazing that Angie still finds time to DJ on stage as well as organise the actual show. 

A huge well done to Angie, her assistant Cara and all the other people who made Nightwalk happen. I had a great night and loved been part of the backstage madness. I would definitely recommend getting involved at the next one. You get to meet lovely talented designers and models and it also looks great on your CV as Nightwalk is the biggest fashion event in Glasgow now since The Scottish Fashion Awards are moving to a different city. 

BRING ON NIGHTWALK AW13!

#1 - Scotland Has Talent


With the likes of Christopher Kane and Louise Gray; who recently had a collection at Topshop the talented Scottish bunch are showing the fashion world that us Scots have an eye & talent for fashion.  I thought it would be a good idea to do a few posts in the next few weeks showing some up and coming Scottish designers. As a fashion lover and Scottish girl I am always online looking at Scottish designers. They are so many talented fashion designers in Scotland with incredible creatively and talent that deserve to be recognised. 

One designer I absolutely love is Obscure Couture: Set up by two girls who studied at Herriot Watt, Jenn Coyle and Lyndsay Pagan certainly have an amazing talent. They were nominees for Scottish Young Designers of the Year at Scottish Fashion Awards for the second year running. Their autumn 2012 collection - The Lithium Party was shown at London Fashion Week and they also had a fashion film made about the collection. I definitely recommend you check it out. I love all their collections and the great thing about Obscure Couture is that they offer two collection each season. The couture collection, which contains some fantastic pieces and will make all your friends jealous. They also have their ready to wear range which is more accessible and can be worn everyday but still maintaing that Obscure Couture edge. Both girls have made an amazing start in the fashion world and have been snapped up by the top London stylists  celebrities like Amelia Lily and gorgeous Little Mix girls have worn their designs. Their clothing is available at ASOS MARKETPLACE
