To coincide with the mall's second anniversary, the lower-ground floor was transformed into a glittering catwalk where a team of professional models paraded the hottest new collections.
From punk to glamorous evening wear, and leopard prints to tartan, the Fashion Live event incorporated a colourful mix of clothing from stores throughout the shopping centre.
The faux fur gillet, tweed fabrics and Gothic styles were among the key pieces on show from stores including Oasis, Zara, New Look, Primark, Jane Norman, Coast, Wallis and Next.
A selection of funky casual fashions from Saltrock, Cult, Bershka and Animal, plus a range of shoes and accessories from stores including Faith also graced the runway.
The mixed shows followed a day of fashion dedicated to M&S's autumn/winter collection, when the store's staff swapped their uniforms for the latest fashion lines.
A few days earlier the fashion extravaganza had opened with a series of clothing, beauty and hair workshops organised in support of Project Pink.
London-based celebrity stylist Patrick Swan hosted the workshops, which showed shoppers how to transform a basic outfit on a budget, and simple ways to refresh their appearance using the latest hair and make-up trends for autumn. The project, which was organised by Soroptimist International Plymouth & District, aimed to raise awareness of breast cancer while treating shoppers to a fantastic fashion experience.
Rachel Stephens, marketing assistant for Drake Circus, said: "The fashion shows went really well and we had a good crowd.
"At the Fashion Live shows there was a compere explaining each of the outfits, how much they cost and where you could get them from and the clothes were all worn by professional models, including a plus-size model.
"It was a chance to show the latest looks and celebrate the shopping centre's second anniversary."
