Fashionistas get ready, Fashion Week is coming to Leeds this summer.
Following its hugely successful debut last year, the Victoria Leeds Fashion Week is coming back with a bang and it's set to be even bigger and better than ever before.
This year they'll be offering a show stopping celebration of fashion from their collection of luxury labels and premium high-street favourites.
Taking place from Saturday 31 May until Sunday 8 June, fashion fans can look forward to a week-long programme of curated events, exclusive experiences, and in-store activations – all leading up to the highlight of the week, a catwalk event.

Last year the runway show was a complete sell-out, attracting over 200 guests and reaching an online audience of over 79,000 via a live online stream.
Over the course of the week, events include colour analysis sessions from Laura Fawcett, a style fashion brunch at The Cut & Craft, an exclusive catwalk after-party at the 4th Floor Brasserie at Harvey Nichols and so much more.
Victoria Leeds centre director, Jo Coburn, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome back Victoria Leeds Fashion Week – bigger and more stylish than ever! Our highly anticipated, award-winning fashion show will take centre stage again, showcasing the newest summer trends and must-have pieces from our premium brands.
“We’re pulling out all the stops this year to bring a jam-packed week full of stylish activations and a few surprises, along with a special charity fashion pop-up from Smart Works Leeds. There’s something for every style lover and it’s going to be an unforgettable celebration of fashion at its finest.”

What started as a simple idea around food has grown into something much bigger for Leeds Supper Club.
The idea was born from a love of food and the idea that eating together can be about much more than what’s on your plate.
Rather than simply going out to a restaurant, Leeds Supper Club puts connection at the heart of its events, bringing people together to share incredible food and enjoy an evening in good company.
We had the pleasure of attending their most recent event where we had the most wonderful evening with founders Lizzie, Phillip and the rest of the club.

This instalment was a very special one, as it was in collaboration with Knotfield Vine over in Horsforth.
I mean, it really doesn't get more scenic than this - we really felt like we'd been whisked away to the South of France rather than a Leeds suburb. But we wouldn't want it either way.

What makes it a cut above the rest is the details. Every little detail has been thought out, from the low-lit, sexy lighting, hand-made name plates, live music and four courses of wonderful seasonal goodness made fresh.
From enjoying a glass of wine within the vines alongside a couple of nibbles to tucking into a three course meal around a candle-lit table, there's really nowhere else like it.

The tagliatelle pasta with beef and whipped feta was a real highlight, and knowing Lizzie and Philip receive help on the menu and the cooking from all their friends made it taste that much sweeter.
By the end of it we'd had some delicious food, fabulous wine and shared even better conversation. And it's safe to say we left feeling a part of the club.

Inside the huge multi-million-pound makeover transforming Leeds United’s facilities
Clementine Hall
Yorkshire interior design specialist Design Tonic has completed a major series of projects for Leeds United Football Club.
A new era for Leeds United is on the horizon, and we're catching a first glimpse of it already.
Design Tonic is a long-standing design and build partner of the football club that has delivered approximately 30,000 sq ft of new and refurbished space, completed to coincide with the start of the new premier league season.
The latest work has been designed to support the club’s continued development of plans for Elland Road, including the new West Stand.

The main element of the programme has been the full design and build of a new 20,000 sq ft temporary hospitality marquee at Elland Road, providing high-quality hospitality facilities while the West Stand is redeveloped.
The facility incorporates four individual hospitality suites with capacity for approximately 1,000 guests with interiors carefully considered to deliver a high-end experience.

Alongside the temporary hospitality facility, Design Tonic has delivered a series of significant upgrades throughout Elland Road including the creation of a new Presidents Lounge transforming a previous back-of-house area into a premium hospitality environment, a new Chairman’s Guest Lounge, and refurbishment of the club’s reception and boardroom.
Head of IT and facilities at Leeds United Football Club, Mark Broadley, said: “Design Tonic has become a trusted partner to Leeds United. They understand both the operational requirements of a football club and the importance of ensuring every environment feels unmistakably Leeds United.
