Noir#10 'A Christmas Affair'
In Aid of Homestart Edinburgh
The event was held at the artistically seductive Summerhall in Edinburgh. It was a fantastic day of designers, distinguished ladies, gentlemen, families and delicatessens; all in one delightful dose! Noir 10 was held in aid of Homestart Edinburgh, which trains volunteer's to help support families throughout Scotland.
I arrived to a generously warm and welcoming entrance, your senses are instantly titillated with the glorious array of fantastic foliage and flowers! I headed up the stairwell to the Mainhall and Fashion Market, which was a wash with fantastic garments and pieces from a selection of the finest milliners in Scotland including Jane Davidson, Harris Tweed, Joyce Paton, 21 Century Kilt and Godiva boutique. The Bone Library was an amazing place to spend the day. It was an ornately decorated room packed full of unique and inimitable pop-up shops, where one could browse and get all the best goodies for Christmas loved ones. The Anatomy lecture room had an electric atmosphere and offered a selection of live music, poetry and short films. After a long day of shopping, I headed straight to the Courtyard and then onto the Dissection bar for some mulled wine and tasty treats!
Apart from the fabulous selection of entertainment, refreshments and gift's, the event also featured a full length fashion show choreographed by the amazing Anna Freemantle with designer's from Edinburgh's College of Art, and hair by Dickson Reid. All I can say is, I simply cannot wait for the next Noir! An absolutely lovely day out for all the family and fashionista's alike!
