Nightwalk SS2011

Nightwalk's Spring/Summer 2011 edition will bring fashion to one of Glasgow's favourite clubs, The Arches, on 22 April from 10pm-2am. This independent fashion showcase will feature some of Scotland's very best creative talents with designers, models, DJs, artists and photographers uniting to take part in this large multi-media event.

The show will be in a catwalk format without traditional rows of seating, so guests will be able to watch and wander freely giving them a better view of the collections. Over 20 designers including Ten30, Betty Spoke, Obscure Couture, Fair Feathered Friend and also pieces from GSA's fashion students will be shown.

Nightwalk will also be a platform for other types of performance with DJs like local double act Ally & Sandy and the Nightwalk organiser herself, Angie Koorbanally (DJ Ursula) making an appearance on an elevated platform behind the catwalk. There will also be a performance piece by burlesque performer Cat Aclysmic.

Angie is "especially excited about Betty Spokes' exclusive sea inspired collection and seeing Fair Feathered Friend on the catwalk for the first time!" She says that "the event aims to bring the underground into the spotlight" to show the public something "a little bit different for everyone to enjoy."

A perfect example of something a little bit different is Swedish but Glasgow based designer Jennie Lööf. "My entire collection for Nightwalk is inspired by the way I felt when I heard Home by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros."

The theme of the collection is "To feel like home wherever you find happiness," and "is made to make the women wearing it feel confident, beautiful and so comfortable." As well as enjoying the various creative talent being showcased, there will be a £15 Vidal Sassoon voucher and a goodie bag given to everyone who attends. A portion of the profits generated from every ticket goes to a worthy cause, St Margaret's Hospice.
