MANCHESTER FASHION CITY GUIDE

December 22nd, 2010 — 11:20am

Motel Student Ambassador Sarah has created a super stylish guide to the amazing city of Manchester!

“Manchester’s reputation for music and fashion is as obvious today as it has been for decades. Combining exquisite musical talent with an eclectic taste of urban and vintage fashion, the city is unlike any other and provides the perfect backdrop for fashion addicts and music lovers alike to revel in the city’s mystery.

The Northern Quarter is the epitome of offbeat cool, where vintage stores, book shops and music stores line the streets. ‘Vintage’, one of the largest stores on Oldham Street, sells everything from clothing and home ware to vintage Americana posters and wall plaques. Most intriguing, however, is ‘COW Vintage’, which has brands across the North. The vintage retailer follows current trends, adding a nostalgic and retro feel to them and giving a completely unique shopping experience. Always one to add an element of fun, they also host student events throughout the year featuring live DJ’s, discounted goods and free drinks!

For those who love to find a bargain, ‘Vintage Threads’ is the perfect place to discover fabulous pieces at budget friendly prices. The monthly event, organised by the ‘Manchester Fashion Network’, sees students flocking to its stalls, adorned with everything from 50s tea dresses and boyish loafers to chic bags and accessories.

After a long day at the shops, we Mancunion students like to relax and be entertained by some of the city’s best live music. Trof Bar in Fallowfield hosts a weekly open mic night to showcase some of the best emerging talent in Manchester, as well as drawing artists from around the country. The venue promises an assorted mix of musical genres, from acoustic folk to brass, and also sells its own homemade cakes for sweet-toothed music lovers. Always in search of something new, students in Manchester also flock to the Ram and Shackle pub, where live music can be heard most nights of the week, and the graffiti style wall imagery adds to the grungy intrigue of the city’s student village.

So next time you’re in Manchester, be sure to make the most of the city’s musical and sartorial heritage; standing out against London’s fame, Manchester is steeped in the grit and honesty of all great northern cities.”

LEEDS CITY GUIDE

December 22nd, 2010 — 11:02am

Motel Student Ambassador Dora has created a super stylish guide to the amazing city of Leeds!

Leeds is a fashion Mecca waiting to be explored.

If window shopping is your thing, head to the Victoria Quarter! Home to brands like Louis Vuitton, Mulberry and Vivien Westwood, a shopping trip there would seriously dent your student loan.  But it’s the most unique fashion development Leeds has to offer. Inside, 76 designer shops are lined up on marble streets. The bustle of the high street is left behind.  A must see destination in the City Centre.


There are many great independent shops in Leeds but MIYUKI-ZOKU has to be the best of bunch. MKI (for short) is an emerging brand which brings you designer looks at high street prices. They make edgy twists on wardrobe classics so each piece is a long term investment. With most items in limited stock, MKI is as exclusive as they come.

The attention detail is unbelievable in store. The shop has a VIP feel with clothes and accessories meticulously placed. The cool white floor boards blend with the white walls so the clothes catch your eye. MKI is a shopping experience not to be missed.

Best Vintage brings you well, the best vintage! Their stock is sourced from all over the world so you never know what gems you might find. This treasure chest is a catalogue for trends past, present and future. There’s a downstairs for boys and an upstairs for girls. But the organisation doesn’t stop there. When you walk into the shop you can head straight for the area of your choice. Denim to the left, 80s jumpers to the right.  Shopping made easy for vintage newbies and veterans.

The staff at Best Vintage are as friendly as their prices! Students get 10 percent off, need I say more?

(22 New Market Street Leeds)

When money is running low but you still want to eat out with the girls head to Quilted Llama. The food is amazing and on Tuesdays, it’s two for one on pizza. After a stressful day of lectures, or shopping, you can relax on their comfy leather sofas and chow down. There’s a plenty of seating to choose from, you can be near the bar or by the open flame oven. There’s a private booth too, but first come first served! Quilted Llama also has an impressive cocktail menu with two for one on Thursday. It’s on campus location means you can’t miss it.
