Fashion is in vogue. Head to Newcastle this week and you’ll see why. It’s not so much being on-trend as setting trends throughout the city. From in-store runways to Northumbria University teaming up with Baltic (perhaps it should be Newcastle-Gateshead Fashion Week (NCLGTSHDFSHNWK) or maybe not. In fact at Baltic for £!0 you can buy your own make your own skirt kit.

On Thursday evening at Number 28 on Nelson Street, Kota Boutique will be celebrating their official launch. Usually to be found in the Antiques Centre at Haymarket, they will be hosting a fashion show and jewellery sale. The other NKOTB (that’s New Kid on the Block for anyone under 30) is Lola Rose on Pudding Chare. Definitely check out their vintage treats when you’re next heading to Central Station.

The rest of the events are just waiting to be discovered but if you want to be part of the action on a budget, nab a limited edition t-shirt from Fenwicks for £10, designed by Electrik Sheep. Our kind of design house.
