Q1 asked everyone to give a short introduction including your occupation (well mine is a hobby) and their postcode to get a rough idea of our locations within Edinburgh - don't think there were any other Eh12ers though. I did however start a conversation about cats which is always a good thing. It was shaping to be a good hour!
@m_copperpink oh no love! I want a cat too but alas I live with a cat hating boyfriend ahah.

Q2 allowed everyone to share their recent projects or favourites to allow others to see their work to get an idea of what they actually do rather than just saying "I'm a blogger" or "I'm a photographer".
Here are a few of my favourites:
A2 my most recent post was all about a trip up Arthur's seat! http://t.co/68A8zLx3yV #edfashion pic.twitter.com/UFm3khtvwF

A2. We've also been working on a new photo shoot- how awesome is this backdrop?! #EdFashion pic.twitter.com/Uq098PEzQ7

It was great to have access to everyone's images and links in one place at the one time, allowing everyone to showcase their favourite work.
Q3 asked what your favourite clothing store is in Edinburgh and, as a fashion blogger, I felt a bit bad because I haven't really visited any local boutiques - only highstreet chain stores! I did however find others who also love Primark and we decided it's not the cost of the item that matters, but how you style it. Although I would love to visit Godiva and Hannah Zakari sometime!
A3 @ThouShaltCovet literally means yearn to possess! Limited pieces such as Tatty Devine #EdFashion <3 individuality pic.twitter.com/T4fxMjMv21

Q4 got into the nitty gritty of whether creatives feel Edinburgh is celebrated enough for its fashion but also the creative industries and what we would like to see more of in the future which produced some very interesting ideas and opinions.
A4. I think it's beginning to build up but we could do with more exhibitions, talks & networking events. #EdFashion

A4 we had a bloggers event at the shop last summer & it was SO fun! We want to do another this year, who'd be interested? #EdFashion
— Godiva Boutique (@GodivaBoutique) March 29, 2015
I think there's lots of great events held in the city but a lot of the time it could be better promoted to boost awareness #Edfashion
— Louise Brown (@LittleThings_LB) March 29, 2015
A4 I thinks it's about time we had another Gathering right here in Edinburgh... #tg8 #EdFashion 😉

I definitely agree that Edinburgh doesn't receive enough credit and it definitely needs more exposure - it's just how do we go about getting the word out. I think the first step is making creatives aware of each other and collaborating to work as a team and not individuals.
Q5 allowed individuals to share a little more about themselves, asking how we would describe our style and what/who we are inspired by.
Q5. Generally being called a #beardy #hipster daily.. I don't think I have a specific style! I like to keep gentlemanly element! #EdFashion

@EdFashionTweets at the moment I'm in a hoodie and old pjs. An ex boyfriend is inspiring that haha! #EdFashion

A5 during #edfashionweek we got a lot of inspiration from the distinctive, individual styles entered into our Street Style comp. #EdFashion

A5 I do enjoy basing my outfits on events/places I'm going to etc. like when I went to a cupcake parlour http://t.co/trwhpWoWYO #EdFashion

I couldn't not put my own tweet in, could I?
Q6 ended the chat nicely inviting participants to share what Edinburgh fashion event is next in their diaries! At the moment mine is empty so any invitations are welcome haha.
A6 for us it has to be @eca_edinburgh's 2015 catwalk show from 23-25 April. There's going to be some serious talent on show. #EdFashion

If you are a local creative it would be great to see/tweet you at the next #EdFashion chat! I believe one will be held on the last Sunday of each month from 9-10pm but you can follow @EdFashionTweets to keep in the loop!
What would your answers have been to these questions? And will you be joining in the next chat?
See you soon!
