Earlier this year I spent a month in Glasgow, and I thought that now--the day of the Independence Vote in Scotland--would be a good time to share some of the fashion that I experienced while in Glasgow.
Fabulous ensemble spotted while eating ice cream at Nardini's on Byres Road.
Matching hair!! Isn't is brilliant?
Walking through Kelvingrove Park
Funny fellows on the street--I think they're a Buchanan Street institution
Exciting red shoes!
In a shop window!
Some young lads walking along Great Western Road--one of them sporting a pair of (infamous) crushed strawberry trousers!!
(Just ask the Glasgow Uni Archaeology Dept.--or Alexander McCall Smith!)
Top hat at the Argyll Arcade
Some classic paper dresses, displayed at Vintage Guru on Byres Road
My own find from the vintage shops. Beautiful Prada shoes!!!
These three amazing dresses, at the Riverside Museum, are by Glasgow designers David and Marion Donaldson.
60s!! Love!!
Another beauty from the Riverside Museum. Let's Dance!!
Time for some tartan!!
Kilts abounded, actually. These were walking down Blackfriars Street, just off the High Street
Old Tartan coat, at Kelvingrove Museum
I couldn't leave this out--from the Glasgow Will Flourish exhibit at the Kelvingrove Museum
And this, on display at the Willow Tea Room on Sauchiehall Street, a dress worn by Mrs. Cranston, owner of the famous tea rooms
Back to the street!
A very fashionable young street performer, ubiquitous in his usual spot at the junction of Buchanan Street and Sauchiehall Street. I grew rather fond of him!!
Sometimes the surreptitious part just doesn't work!! He posed for me!
Just off Argyll Street, near St. Enoch. Bright pink!!
Kilts in the subway!
I saved the best for last!
She very graciously let me take her photo. Dress, boots, makeup, hair--what a perfect ginger ensemble!!
In front of Oran Mor on Great Western Road.
Heather, thanks for this. It's invaluable, and your diversity is great. Wish you'd do a Part II!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dresses in that post! I loved that blue one with the copper-looking slits in the bodice. And the tea room one - absolutely lovely cascading fabric.
