This season’s muted colours lend an elegant accent to any outfit. Laura Davis shows how a little accessorising can set the outfit off to perfection

IT’S usually a term of offence, isn’t it, when someone says you’re looking grey. Few too many glasses of Pinot the night before? Perhaps a dose of summer flu or SAD?

This season, however, it means you’re bang on trend – perhaps sporting a charcoal mini dress or a silver vest top tucked into a high waisted skirt.

Wear with colourful accessories so you’re not mistaken for a pigeon.

THE location for this week’s shoot is the aptly-named Grey Space, a new full-service photographic studio located in a former banking hall, on Water Street, facing the Pier Head.

Focusing primarily on high-end fashion and sports, the team offers full shoot support from photographers, through to models and set build – right down to their very own 24-hour in-house concierge.

The team has already worked with A-listers including Trinny and Susannah, Steven Gerrard, and Jamie and Louise Redknapp.
