Edinburgh Fashion Week 2016

This weekend was the launch of #EdFashionWeek on the Mound, and I went along as a media VIP to network, take pictures and scout out new fashion designers. The events were great, and I can't wait to see how it progresses in years to come, as it was already so much more exciting than last year, when I was dressing models backstage! Let me know in the comments what you thought of this weekend, and read more to see my snaps!
