Bonnie & ‘Style’ weekend at popular Edinburgh food hall with country’s leading model agency and top fashion designer
Popular Edinburgh Food Hall Bonnie & Wild has unveiled a series of glamorous events as part of Edinburgh STYLE at St James Quarter later this month.
Known for its food, drink and hospitality, Bonnie & Wild will be hosting an exclusive model scouting event in partnership with Colours Agency followed by a stylish “in conversation” event with superstar fashion designer Siobhan Mackenzie.
As part of Edinburgh STYLE at St James Quarter, Scotland’s leading modelling agency Colours will be hosting a series of special scouting days in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Talent spotters will be on the lookout for potential models who could also gain the opportunity to walk in a prestigious runway show hosted by Grazia at St James Quarter on Saturday March 29.
With Colours Agency running the weekend’s scouting from within Bonnie & Wild on Friday March 28 and Saturday March 29, potential models will have the chance to meet with Colours Agency’s top scouts, gain insights into the industry, and potentially secure contracts with the prestigious agency.
Alison Bruce, co-owner and director of Colours Agency, says: “Our partnership with Bonnie & Wild is a game-changer. Scotland is full of incredible talent, and by teaming up with a cultural hotspot like Bonnie & Wild, we’re creating a unique and accessible space where aspiring models can take their first steps towards an exciting career.
“Bonnie & Wild, known for celebrating Scotland’s rich food and cultural scene, provides an inspiring backdrop for this initiative. The collaboration aligns with both brands’ commitment to showcasing local talent and supporting creative industries in Scotland.”
Following on from the Colours Agency talent scouting, Scottish fashion designer Siobhan Mackenzie is hosting a VIP Champagne brunch on Sunday, March 30, followed by an exclusive “In Conversation with” Q&A event, hosted by radio presenter Jennifer Reoch and featuring an exhibition of many of Siobhan’s designs.
Siobhan, whose clients range from Scotland’s National Commonwealth team to musicians Justin Bieber and Shania Twain and Scottish Hollywood Star Alan Cumming, will host the Bonnie & Wild Q&A with guests having the chance to quiz her on her illustrious career, from her days as a teenager sketching outfits to more recent successes including her career breakthrough and dressing the stars.
Siobhan said: “I’m really excited about hosting this Champagne brunch and Q&A at Bonnie & Wild as part of Edinburgh STYLE at St James Quarter.
“As well as a glass of Champagne, guests to this free event will be able to talk with me about fashion design in the beautiful events space at Bonnie & Wild, while also enjoying their fabulous hospitality. It’s such a beautiful space and I’m really looking forward to exhibiting my designs there too.”
Ryan Barrie, Managing Director at Bonnie & Wild, said: “These two events ‑ with the leading Colours Agency and Siobhan Mackenzie, one of the country’s best fashion designers – beautifully typify Bonnie & Wild’s collaborative and dynamic approach to showcasing the best of Scotland. We’re looking forward to welcoming guests to St James Quarter’s Edinburgh STYLE weekend, in particular the Siobhan Mackenzie talks and Colours Agency scouting weekend. It’s set to be a real feast of fashion.”
Edinburgh STYLE is a city-wide celebration of fashion, beauty and lifestyle. Alongside the events at Bonnie & Wild, from Friday March 28 to Sunday March 30, St James Quarter will play host to a weekend of style talks, beauty masterclasses, live entertainment and fashion shows in partnership with Grazia and Pat McGrath Labs. for more information on the full Edinburgh STYLE programme visit: https://stjamesquarter.com/event/edinburgh-style-2025/
