Harvey Nichols Leeds truly put on a spectacular show for their Spring/Summer 2013 fashion show. The Prosecco was most definitely flowing and everyone seemed to be having a ball, myself included. After a little mingling, we were seated for the show (front row no less!). On each seat, there was a Harvey Nichols goodie bag - we all love a few free samples, right?
The first song choice - White Noise, by Disclosure - was very apt for the pieces about to hit the runway. The models wore all white outfits, a personal highlight for me was a stunning fur coat,
as seen in picture 2 below. The white theme also saw the comeback of the white
stiletto, securing its place in the current seasons must have list (Not just
for the Essex girl!).
A shoe trend that featured heavily throughout the show was the ankle strap. I personally, have never taken to ankle straps, I am fairly short and feel that they accentuate this, but I will most definitely be revisiting them, hoping to find a style that suits (I feel another blog post coming along...).
White Noise
1. Malene Birger Jacket, McQ top, Isabel Marant boots, Alexander Wang bag. 2. Acne dress, Finders Keepers jacket, Isabel Marant shoe. 3. Polo Ralph Lauren bag. 4. Alexander McQueen Shirt, Tiger of Sweden trouser, Gucci loafer, belt and bag 5.Gucci suit, Saint Laurent shoe, Dior shades.
Next, there was a
flurry of prints, neon and metallics. It was an absolute spectacle, where each
outfit screamed sun, fun and good times. Some notable pieces were; a Mary Katrantzou print dress (see picture2), a silk
neon Malene Birger pyjama suit (see picture 3 below) and a stunning Philip Armstrong dress (see picture 4 in Matallic).

The last song choice
- Adele’s Skyfall - meant the pace slowed down and the models sashayed down the
runway in some breath taking evening wear. My favourite piece by far, was the black Malene
Birger dress as seen in picture 4 below.
