Cover story: The Style Issue It's official: Scotland has got style and bags of it. Our fashion-conscious team has scoured the country to find the coolest young designers out there, who are turning heads locally, nationally and internationally. We also present the fabulous Kingdom of Style girls' guide to the best independent, vintage and thrift shops in Glasgow and Edinburgh and look at what makes each city distinctive in fashion terms. Plus we examine the crossover between music and fashion. For a serious slice of style, turn to page 18.
