Campus Style: Were you spotted at Cirque du Soul?
We found the waviest of garms
Frankie BodenThe nation’s favourite feel-good party returned up North last week for its final show in Leeds before the New Year.
Playing by the rules of the circus, students dressed to impress as they revelled in the Beaverworks fun house.
Top hats, bow ties and harlequins aplenty, we headed to Cirque to see who dressed the best.
Were you spotted?
