Chic fits bill for young Geordies
Geordie chic is alive and kicking, according to a new survey of young people living and work-ing in the North East.
Evening Chronicle
Forget high street brands, only the likes of Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and Paul Smith fit the bill for more than half of 16 to 35-year-olds surveyed in Newcastle Gateshead.
The research, conducted by text on behalf of the Newcastle Gateshead Initiative, surveyed more than 300 young people.
Around 79% of young Geordie fashionistas regularly spend more than a third of their monthly pay on clothes, shoes and socialising.
When asked how they would spend their last £100, 54% said they would spend it on clothes and shoes, while 47% would go out on the town.
More than half take at least two hours to get ready for a big night out.
