While runway fashion often dazzles with its avantgarde creations, incorporating elements of high fashion into our everyday lives can feel like a daunting task. However, with a touch of creativity and a keen eye for style, it’s entirely possible to infuse your wardrobe with runway-inspired looks that are both chic and practical. Runway fashion is renowned for its bold and statementmaking pieces, and incorporating them into your daily outfits can instantly elevate your look.

One of the keys to translating runway fashion to real life is to master the art of mixing high-end pieces with affordable, accessible fashion. Pairing a designer blouse with a pair of well-fitting jeans or teaming a trendy skirt with a basic t-shirt can create a fashionable juxtaposition that exudes effortless style. Runway fashion often showcases an array of vibrant colours and bold patterns and incorporating these elements into your everyday wardrobe can instantly make your outfits stand out. Experiment with mixing patterns and colours, but remember to balance them with neutrals or solid basics to maintain a cohesive look.

Don’t shy away from incorporating unexpected pops of colour through accessories like scarves, handbags, or shoes to infuse your outfits with a playful yet sophisticated touch. Runway fashion often celebrates unique silhouettes and unconventional proportions. While not all avant-garde designs are suitable for everyday wear, you can incorporate elements of these styles through tailored pieces. Invest in a wellfitted blazer, trousers, or a dress that flatters your body shape and enhances your confidence. Incorporating structured pieces with clean lines will add a touch of sophistication to your outfits while maintaining a practical approach. Runway fashion can be an incredible source of inspiration for your everyday wardrobe.

By incorporating statement pieces, mixing high and low fashion, embracing colour and patterns, focusing on tailoring and proportions, and infusing your style with personal touches, you can effortlessly bring the glamour of the runway into your daily life. Remember, fashion is about having fun, expressing yourself, and feeling confident, so don’t be afraid create your own unique fashion story.

For thousands of years, people in the British Isles lived with and depended on wild animals for food and clothes. The land teemed with species such as deer, boar, wolves, lynx and beavers. Then came farming, population growth and industrialisation. Many species were hunted to extinction and their habitats were lost.

Archaeological research reaches back in time to understand how humans and wild animals interacted.

Ancient bones and teeth reveal these complex relationships.

Today, interactions between wild animals and people are often in the news, from urban foxes to tree-felling beavers and wild boars. Even the red deer – the monarch of the glen, celebrated as a symbol of wild Scotland – is facing widespread calls for population control and, on the Hebridean island of South Uist, total eradication.

Deer were a mainstay of British diets before farming and, out on the islands, my research demonstrates they remained an important food source beyond the 15th century. It was only in the middle ages that deer became the preserve of royal hunts and later the favoured prey of fee-paying hunters.

Today they are often viewed as pests by the communities they impact. A combination of factors, including COVID-19 and climate change, has seen deer numbers increase and affect both landscapes and gardens. They also cause accidents on roads and carry the ticks that pass on Lyme disease.

As wild animals, they are not
