WHAT a great idea Oxford Fashion Week is.

It’s about time the city had a chance to celebrate its more stylish elements.

We certainly have the right setting here.

I am sure all of us could think of a stunning piece of city architecture or landscape which would provide the ideal backdrop for a photoshoot.

Organisers claim the event will be second only to London Fashion Week.

They say it has the potential to put Oxford on the map of the world’s top fashionistas.

It could also inspire the city’s young people to launch their own careers in the industry — be that as models, designers or executives.

Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be able to boast you lived next door to an A-list catwalk star or celebrity photographer.

But better than that, if the event really takes off it could attract more visitors — and their wallets — to our city for years to come.
