Coco Chanel was an ambitious woman, but even she could not have imagined the scale on which the house she founded now operates. This time last year, four blocks of Manchester's Northern Quarter became a Chanel catwalk.

Illuminations set the lake ablaze with colour, and to the boom of traditional Chinese drums, models began to traverse the slender catwalk to the stage.
