Primark asking public for store design ideas

What the Primark shop may look like

By Cara Sulieman

CHEAP fashion favourite Primark is asking the public to tell them what their new store in the capital should look like.

Under new laws set by the Scottish Government last year, all proposed large developments have to undergo a long public consultation before the plans are submitted to the local authority.

And Primark have set up a special website for shoppers to leave their comments on the shop – both bad and good.

They said that this means that everyone will be able to influence the design of the final building.

Models strut their stuff at launch of Edinburgh College of Art fashion show

By Oliver Farrimond

EDINBURGH fashion students showcased their years work yesterday in a glamorous fashion show at the Edinburgh College of Art.

Hundreds gathered to watch the event, which featured professional models strutting their stuff in a variety of luxurious fabrics and elaborate costumes.

The show represents the culmination of a year’s hard work for many students, and for some it is the final show of their degree.

Many will hope to go on to a successful career in one of the fashion industry’s “big four” cities of Milan, London, Paris and New York City.

The show runs from Wednesday 6th May until the 9th, and is widely regarded as a key date in the Capital’s cultural calendar.

Among the collections was an exclusive range of Scottish fabrics from the Borders-based Lochcarron of Scotland.
