So... sadly, the Spotlight on Independent Fashion events are over! On Friday and Saturday evening, Sneinton Market was full of creativity and inspiration! Where do I begin!? To start off the event, there were many brands set up in various spaces. It was very interesting to see how each of the independent brands used the space to promote their work. I especially liked the use of old mannequins, this fit with the interior of the room that the companies were given. Headcase Headwear was very clever with their promotion and they thought about how they were going to engage with the customers. They had provided free glitter that they were applying to customers faces and they had created a small photo booth for people to have a laugh with the products!

Although it was nice to wander around the mini shops, I have to admit my favourite part of the evening was the catwalk shows where each brand showcased their creations. Below are a few images from each of the shows:
Genius x Flux
Ullr & Skade
The brand Ullr & Skade presented sweatshirts, t-shirts and sweatpants. I really liked this collection because everyone needs casual wear and I love oversized jumpers. I like how although the clothing is casual/minimal, it still looks tasteful and stylish.
Thrift Generation
Cow
One BC, JC Middlebrow, Love Lust and Passion
Laura Worthington
Urban Avenue, It's Simple and Amy Topham
The collaboration for the last show was a genius. It's Simple and Amy Topham created a catwalk show heavily inspired by Urban Dance. The models strutted in time with the beat of the music and they were brilliant dancers!! This was a great finale for the show and it is definitely one to remember!
I hope you all enjoyed the events and will be joining us this week for the rest of Nottingham Fashion Week!
