July 17th-25th sees the third, and strongest incarnation of a newer addition to the dizzying array of Festivals in the Athens of the North.
The international tag is more apt than ever, with collaborations from Southern Africa, China and beyond as part of their program.
The introduction of the Retina festival brings Photography from Rankin and Helena Christensen, which sits alongside an exhibition by Saskia De Brauw, while a conversation between mother and daughter Amanda and Tallulah Harlech looks particularly compelling.
Add the freshest menswear, the blessing of TopShop and a whole heap more, and there’s something for the urbane, artistic and intrigued beyond the arch fashionista in Edinburgh over the next week.
