WHILE New York, London, Paris and Milan may have given us an insight into next season, the biannual Harvey Nichols Fashion Show in Manchester serves to give us what we really want – this season’s trends, right now.

And with summer somewhere on the misty horizon, Manchester’s fashionable crowds piled into the beautiful Campfield Market Hall to join host Elaine Willcox and be inspired once again.

The striking space played host to Bjork during Manchester International Festival last June and almost one year on, the beauty of the hall was captured once again at the aquatic themed Harvey Nichols event.

Complete with a backdrop of virtual fish tanks and an invisible catwalk for models from Boss Model Management to glide down, we were treated to the must-have trends of the season.
