We did a photoshoot in the new Lidl and made Britain’s next shop model a thing

Lidl = affordable AND aesthetic


The opening of Lidl on Hutcheon's street has delighted Aberdeen students. From its cheap prices to its convenient location, it's destined to become a firm favourite. In celebration of this we decided to commemorate it in the only way us millennials know how: with a photoshoot!

Don't be fooled by the smiles – it was baltic

Models Bridget, Ella, Emma-Jean and Hugo pose in the aisles proving that Lidl is the coolest supermarket of them all.

We also asked our models a couple of questions about the shoot and what it meant to them.

What does fashion mean to you?

We don't need anything from this aisle – we're the biggest snacks

Have you ever done anything like this before?

Emma-Jean: Absolutely not, I've never done a normal photoshoot before and I certainly have never had my photo taken in a supermarket…
