Plus four other incredible outfits from Manchester city centre this week as Bethan Shufflebotham heads into town for another instalment of Steal Their Style
There's nothing I love more than observing someone in a job they love and excel in. I could sit in a bakery and watch a master foodie make croissants all day long, I am mesmerised by watching a seamstress pull fabric through a machine.

She wore a pair of Asics trainers with white tights and a dress from Chorlton’s McQueen Independent, where she works. Completing the look was a jumper from Vinted, her dad’s shirt, a secondhand jacket from Depop and a charity shop bag for £5. The 21-year-old described her wardrobe as ‘playful, colourful and cute’ inspired by Japanese fashion and British icon Vivienne Westwood.
These details are very important to people like Thurston who are passionate about vintage - and his immense knowledge, even just of his outfit, was seriously impressive and of great value to customers visiting the store hoping to find a new special piece to add to their collection. The fashion enthusiast described himself as ‘probably the most trusted person in Manchester when it comes to vintage.’ His passion comes from an early age, inspired by trips to the second-hand stores with his parents and older brother.
“My style has changed over the years, I love the history and why a piece was created, especially in menswear, because it was all made with purpose for practicality and that for me is so fascinating. It’s more about a purpose and an understanding for me.” The 36-year-old loves a layered outfit and the ‘cosiness of having lots on’. She added: “I love longer skirts squishing around and filling the space a bit more. Don't be afraid to take up space in the world.”
