The episode also features an exclusive sit down with celebrity stylist Karen Williams in The Cut & Craft, who has styled some of the world’s most recognisable names, from Beyoncé to David Beckham.
Expect backstage moments, runway-ready looks and expert insight into the trends, styling decisions and standout details that shaped this year’s event. From Laura’s approach to curating a multi-brand runway, to Rachel’s perspective from the catwalk and Karen’s advice on finding your fabulous, this is your front-row pass to the making of a premium fashion week in the heart of Leeds.

In Episode 13 of Style Arcades, Michelle sits down with Dr Lubna of This Is Yorkshire Beauty and Calum from Kiehl’s to cut through the noise and unpack the conversations women are really having around skin health, ageing and feeling good in your skin.

Together, they explore how hormones, stress and lifestyle can affect the skin over time, the difference between sensitive and sensitised skin, and the products, treatments and habits that can make the biggest difference. They also discuss whether collagen is worth the attention it’s getting, why SPF still matters at every stage, and how new technology is changing the way we understand skincare.

The episode also features a live skin analysis using Kiehl’s Skin Reader in store, giving a fascinating look at how personalised skincare can become more accessible, more informed and more effective.

Whether you’re trying to simplify your routine, invest more wisely, or just want expert advice you can actually use, this episode is full of practical insight.
