It was first put together i believe, by Annette Worsley Taylor in 198a. In a tent. They did tense, and different environment so people could go from one thing to another and they could see what british designers could create. I say it has become one of the Big Ones, but there are some british designers who are choosing to show in paris or New York first, may be turning their back on its likely come is that fair to say . Victoria beckham among them . Beckham among them . Commercially beckham among them . Commercially now definitely the Big Ones would show in paris or New York rather than here. I think it became such a whirlwind that people didnt come to all the different places. Here, you have to come for excitement and new ideas.

I suppose in terms of the quality, a lot of these vintage clothes might be better quality because we have so much fast fashion and things are cheaply made with things not as good quality as they could be, using the vintage and the pre owned clothes could be the answer to that.

The Liberal Democrats are hosting their first Party Conference sincejuly s general election that won them 72 seats in parliament. The leader of the Party Sir Ed davey, who carried out a series of daring stunts during the Election Campaign opened the conference in eye catching fashion, by riding a Jet Ski through brighton marina. He will give his speech On Tuesday. Now the third largest party in the house of commons, the lib dems are positioning themselves as a constructive opposition. Lets speak to our political correspondent hannah miller, who is at the Party Conference. What has been going on today . We have been hearing a lot about more funding for hospital buildings, more social care, improving access to that and expanding Free School Meals as well. Those are some of the air as the Liberal Democrats are talking about today. What we are really seeing is them taking out the areas where they want to push the Labour Government to go further. But the tone is, in some ways, quite different to what we have seen from an opposition party. This is how the leader Ed Davey described it to Laura Kuenssberg earlier. We will be different from the conservatives because being constructive means you have a different tone or you dont do the yarboo politics that i think people are sick of. And you also put your alternatives forward. So at the Prime Ministers questions just last week, when i was opposing the Governments Withdrawal of Winter Fuel payments, we were saying, yeah, there is a financial deficit left by the tories, we agree with you on that. But there are other ways to deal with that problem and we put them forward. The lib dems spent their time in opposition and the main speech of The Day was on education. This was the education. This was the education spokesperson. Where their classrooms are crumbling and the nurseries are full, we will hold the governments feet to the fire. Where the conservative Lack Care and compassion, we will offer hope. Where labour lack ambition, we will show parents and pupils that we share their hopes and dreams. Fighting to fix the early years and the high needs postcode lottery. Campaigning tirelessly for Free School Meals and a counsellor in every school. Making the case to turbo charged tutoring and broadening our childrens Horizons Ambition and optimism, care and compassion, Hope And Opportunity that is the liberal democrat mission. That is ourjob, lets get to work. It is fairto it is fair to say the Liberal Democrats are in a pretty buoyant mood with their 72 mps at the seaside in brighton. They have been on roller coasters is, Ed Davey was on a Jet Ski, they are Playing Mini Golf and doing all kinds of activities alongside some of the serious work. This is definitely a party that knows how to have a good time, they are choosing and taking they are choosing and taking the opportunity to celebrate but also getting on with some of the policies as well. Hannah miller, thank of the policies as well. Hannah miller, thank you of the policies as well. Hannah miller, thank you very of the policies as well. Hannah miller, thank you very much i miller, thank you very much from brighton. The government has defended the early release of prisoners, after it emerged a former inmate allegedly sexually assaulted a woman on the same day he was freed. Labour said the early Release Scheme was necessary because The Party had inherited prisons on the brink of collapse. 0ur Reporter simonjones has more. Prisoners celebrate with friends as they are released from jail early. The government says its game is necessary to stop the collapse of the criminaljustice system. But one man let out On Tuesday from this prison in kent is already back behind bars. He is accused of sexually assaulting a woman on The Day he was freed. He is alleged to have touched her without her consent.
