With all the buzz on the big fashion weeks across the globe biggest cities, New York, London, Paris; I was very pleased to see that Nottingham had jumped on the bandwagon and introduced its own fashion week - Nottingham Indie Fashion Week. With events across the whole week, I decided that I would attend the main event, the catwalk which took place on Tuesday in the Lace Market St. Mary's Church.
The scene was beautiful, almost perfect for a magical fashion show. The tall, dark church really allowed for the lighting to create a dreamy and enchanting setting, which really made the designers collections and model's make up look fantastic and flawless. I would however say that some of the lights were placed irresponsibly as they shone right into the audience, but this was the only main fault of the whole evening, and well - without the spotlights we wouldn't have been able to see anything at all!
The collections were amazing, with some focusing on scarfs, shoes or full outfits, the variety really was huge. I was particularly impressed with the designer 'One BC', who really livened up the night with their more modern fashion pieces, which I could even see hitting some of the big fashion nights such as Paris Fashion Week. I also loved the idea of a goodie bag on every seat, as it really made it inviting and seem very exclusive when we arrived, and the leaflets and discounts inside really were appealing.
Overall, I really enjoyed the whole night. With a few edits to music choice (as some seemed almost too depressing - would've been good to have been livened up and magical to match the rest of the decor and styling), the event would be a huge hit with many critics. I can't wait to see if they hold more fashion events in the Nottingham area, as they are very convenient and exciting for an FCP student, especially if they're free!
