LUVVIES, musos, artsy-fartsy types - you can spot them anywhere. Probably with a curled up Hemingway book, lived in brogues and an ironic hairstyle. It's a distinguishable 'look'.

For this year's Manchester International Festival, the music, art and thespian types have donned their best outfits to enjoy this year's line-up and soak up the lively festival atmosphere. On a scorching Saturday afternoon Confidential took a camera to the Festival Square in Albert Square to snap the most artfully dressed. 

 
 

There were some great examples of summer style; jumpsuits, quirky sunglasses, shapely shift dresses and tassell earrings. 

We had hoped Bjórk would stroll in with an updated version of the swan dress but no such luck...
