"In 1971, Manolo Blahnik created shoes for the designer Ossie Clark's catwalk show in London. Relatively new to shoemaking, the Spanish designer forgot to put steel pins in the heels of the shoes, which meant that models wobbled, unbalanced, down the catwalk."
"The fashion show influences every single thing that we choose to wear and what we're able to buy, so we're trying to show that."
"Scotland is not only a stage for the catwalk, but is a key part of its history. In 1938 there was a fashion show as part of the Empire Exhibition at Bellahouston Park in Glasgow."
"The exhibition showcases the work of great Scottish designers, including an orange and white dress from the much-loved Glaswegian designer Christopher Kane's debut London fashion week collection in 2007."
