The fashion pack were out in force in Manchester to check out the newest looks on the catwalk at Selfridges

Selfridges rolled out the red carpet for a star-studded night of fizz and fashion to welcome in the party season.

VIP guests mingled with celebrities on the new-look first floor menswear department, sipping glasses of bubbles and nibbling on canapés before models took to the ‘catwalk’ - the escalators leading to the second floor.

Among the stars were Coronation Street’s Brooke Vincent, Antony Cotton, Katie McGlynn, event queen Liz Taylor from Hale and a host of fashionistas.

On show was the cream of designer fashion, kicking off with casual biker styles but concentrating on a selection of glamorous eveningwear for both men and women that included gowns by Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Marchesa, and menswear evening looks by Givenchy and Boss.
