The fashion world is a hive of activity and we have been feeling the buzz at Manchester Fashion Network's summer party. The exclusive, invite only event took place at the retro, minimalistic Northern Quarter bar known as Walrus.

Russchian cocktails provided by Schweppes Russchian towers, were flowing all night and guests were treated to a delicious, selection of the finest Japanese canapes. Northern Quarter's favourite Ben, resident DJ of Odd Bar, had guests dancing throughout the night to classic house tunes.

Check out our website gallery for snaps from the night! For those inspiring fashionistas out there make sure you keep an eye on the Manchester Fashion Network button for up and coming events and fashion news.
