It took two weeks for Spofforth to find the images she wanted and, not being from Liverpool, she was surprised by what she found.
"I haven't spent that much time in Liverpool but it's quite notorious for night-life and girls getting really dressed up," says Spofforth, a photographic assistant who grew up in Suffolk. "I didn't realise how diverse the city is and I tried to show that.
"I went to different areas of Liverpool to get different backgrounds and types of people. I tried to get all ages from children to more elderly people to young professionals but it was quite a spontaneous thing really.
"There seemed to be a lot of tracksuits. I took a photo of two guys and one of them said 'there's only one word for fashion in Liverpool and it's tracksuit'."
* STREET Life: Liverpool in Fashion, a collaboration be-tween Peppered Sprout Design Company and National Museums Liverpool, opens at the National Conservation Centre on Monday June 12 and runs until August 20. It has been supported by the Liverpool Culture Company.
