DKNY on The Avenue, Spinningfields /Series Events

The DKNY Mens SS12 mini fashion show, at their store on The Avenue in Manchester last week, summed up this season: dismal, wet and discounted.

A little late for a SS12 show, don't you think? Well, instead of taking the opportunity to showcase a snippet of the coming season, DKNY Mens used their turn at hosting the weekly /Series events to showcase clothes we seen before and that are now on sale. Still, not that much of a wasted opportunity, the store was nearly empty because of the savage downpour.

Still, I had a couple of drinkies with the lovely Sarah of Fashion Dotty and my partner in fashion-crime, Christopher, who also got my birthday present from the DKNY rails! So, not all was lost!

Shirt, TM Lewin

Cufflinks, Tiffany&Co

Trousers, DKNY

Cat, Ragdoll called Noah

Christopher bought me these gorgeous cobalt blue trousers, as seen in the show. 

They fit like a dream and, in Christopher's words, make my arse look "crackin'" - bonus!

I've been looking for a pair of trousers in this colour for, and I'm not exaggerating, years. I've never found a pair that fit right, looked right or that I could afford. Whilst these only tick two of the three boxes, I wasn't the one forking out - another bonus!

Now for some shots without cats in them...

Not a bad bag...

Kind of what DKNY does best...
