Rich pickings, bargain prices

Jan 25 2007 by Laura Davis, Liverpool Daily Post

Once the preserve of the wealthy, pre-season styles offer hot fashion at cool savings. Laura Davis reports

But, even if the summer holidays seem a long way away, it’s a good idea to have a browse through the rails as cruise collections can often be more of a bargain than full season designer ranges. 

DOT-ART, an independent gallery in the heart of Liverpool’s business district, is the location for this week’s shoot.

It sells a range of items by Merseyside-based artists, from oil paintings and contemporary photography to jewellery and greetings cards.

Dessa black dress, £279

Prints are priced from £30 and original work from £50. Personal commissions are also available.
