2 Days ’til VOGUE’s Fashion Night Out: High Street

Morning kittens, it’s Tuesday and we’re two days into the week of VOGUE’s Fashion Night Out in Manchester 2013. I’m so excited I could scream! Today’s instalment of my VOGUE #FNO Manchester blog series countdown is a run-down, low-down of all the most fabulous high street picks of the night.

As y’all know, I’m a high street queen and I firmly believe in the democracy that affordable fashion brings. Heck, we all wanna be able to dress up without pound signs cha-chinging all around us. Fortunately, Manchester is a hub of all things affordable and from Market Street to King Street there’ll be tons of high street shops opening their doors on Thursday too.

Of course, the biggest hall of high street activity has to be Manchester Arndale. Over 60 brands within the shopping centre will be taking part in Vogue Fashion’s Night Out, each offering something different in the way of entertainment, freebies and discounts. As well as the array of stores the Arndale has to offer (selling everything from dresses to Doc Martins), the centre will be showcasing it’s own fashionable efforts. In Exchange Court a unique moving catwalk will feature the latest A/W13 high street trends from the centre’s big name stores and fashion shows will be live every twenty minutes throughout the evening showcasing the fashions from high street retailers within the centre. PS the catwalk will be a travelator!

As one of the leader’s of high street fashion within the Arndale, Topshop will be a celebrating Vogue Fashion Night Out with a representative from the magazine itself on hand. ogue’s Contributing Fashion Editor, Kate Phelan will be in store to show off her favourite Topshop picks, alongside Topshop’s very own Creative Director. There will also be a chance to win Topshop prizes and even £100 vouchers (oh, wouldn’t that be nice?) if you fancy buying on the night. Fingers crossed.

So, Topshop have the best high street clothing on offer for the night, but where are you best going to kit out your tootsies? Office – also in the Arndale, are you noticing a pattern? – will be offering a goodie bag to the first 100 customers to buy on the night. Plus, for an injection of fun, their Fashion’s Night Out artists will sketch your look and accessorise it with your favourite pair of shoes from the new collection. If a drawing of yourself ain’t enough, how about a photo? Style Hunters will also be on hand to snap your Fashion’s Night Out outfits with live feeds showcasing your look on the Office Fashion’s Night Out wall of fame via Facebook and Twitter.
