It was a double dose of style at the opening shows for West Coast Cooler FASHIONWEEK with two stunning catwalk shows in Victoria Square's underground Qpark car park.
The shows kicked off with Victoria Square's anchor tenant – House of Fraser – showcasing collections from brands from across the department store including the iconic Biba, Linea, Therapy & Untold as well as Karen Millen and Whistles.
We loved all the colour-pop brights, stripes, florals and the new Biba bridal dresses were stunning.
We have to say we were a little disappointed with Mary Rose McGrath's collection - it was lovely but we would loved to have seen some fresh ideas and different shapes from this talented local designer.
Our 'fashion moments' were Caitlyn's opening colour blocking look, L'or in Pied a Terre (pictured left), Carys in multicoloured Ted Baker playsuit, Naoise in the huge sun-hat, Sarah in the bird print dress by Linea (we're so getting that dress!) and Caitlyn in the white coat by Rivet and sunglasses - fabulous!
