It also grabs more column inches than any other regional fashion show, so it was no surprise to see a smattering of celebrity guests at the launch of Liverpool Fashion Week on Monday evening.
Amongst those to show their support for the current crop of young British designers were Coronation Street stars were Tina O’Brien and Samia Ghadie.

The pair arrived at the city’s Royal Liver Building in high-spirits, with Tina – best known for her former role as Sarah-Louise Platt in the long-running soap – opting for a black and red ensemble.
Indeed, the 30-year-old actress teamed her neutral top with a pair matching shorts that were distinctive by virtue of their striking floral pattern.
The neutral theme continued with a pair of stylish ankle boots, while the thick gold chain around her neck acted as a focal point and proved to be a wise choice of accessory given her decision to choose black as a primary colour.

The overall look was loaned an additional splash of colour courtesy of her pillar-box red blazer jacket, its garish hue matching not only the floral design on her shorts, but also the generous slash of lipstick applied to her mouth.
Samia also chose black in the form of a smart leather pencil skirt and peep-toe heels as she made her way into the event with a female pal.
The 31-year-old star – Maria Connor in Corrie – matched her neutral lower half with a striking gold coloured top that appeared to compliment her flaxen hair.

Samia was attending the event without French boyfriend Sylvain Longchambon – the professional skater she met while appearing on ITV show Dancing On Ice.
Speaking to OK! magazine the actress – a mother-of-one to daughter Freya with ex-husband Matt Smith – recently admitted that she would like to start a family with the Gallic hunk.
‘In the future it would be nice to have more children as Sylvain is great with kids.’
Despite wanting to extend her brood, the actress confessed that she and Sylvain were in no hurry to wed.
‘We’re just happy as we are,’ she added. ‘To be honest, we haven’t really thought about it yet.’
