Hello.


Hi. Well this feels strange to say the least. It’s been a while since I have just sat down and written. Been a bit busy, I mean A-levels and all.


I am sat cross legged on my bed with my morning- well nearly afternoon- fruit salad with absolutely no idea where to start. That’s a dig at us millennials in itself. How can I sit here so uninspired when there is so much to get fired up about? 17 going on 18 has to be one of the major years of our lives. We have so many decisions to be make which shape our future careers and lives, we have increased freedom and we seem to find zero to write about. We being me. So I realised that I better try.


I am sat here still on my bed, safe from the blustering wind of British summer, thinking what do I feel comfortable writing about? The questionable politics of our time? My views on issues? Music? Future career aspirations? That’s a start.


I’ve never been a fan of introductions. I find them possibly one of the most awkward things ever, so let’s keep this snappy. Okay I’ll just get started. Hi. Ahhhh.

Fast Fashion

Fast Fashion. I am sure this is a term you are familiar with, it is practically everywhere at the moment. The push for urgent action against the climate crisis is huge right now. Whether it be about eating less meat, planting more trees, or boycotting online fashion retailers, protesters like the 'Extinction Rebellion' have done it all. Fast fashion is a major contributor to this. This is a term referring to the way that we buy, consume and waste clothes at such a high speed now. This means more seasons, cheaper clothes, easily accessible. This is partly due to the 'youth quake' of the 60's and the evolution of haute couture, to high-street fashion to online retailers. The escalation of mass-production and huge amounts of pollution follow after that. The facts are pretty shocking. Fashion is the second biggest polluter in the world, second to oil. The fashion industry emits 5% of the global emissions, trumping both air travel and international shipping...

Moments from SS20 this Fashion Month

Fashion Month. New York, London, Milan and Paris. I would find it difficult to believe that you could be unaware of these absolute fashion capitals, and the much-anticipated fashion weeks. It is when designers and ‘houses’ hold runway fashion shows showcasing their new seasons to all who wish to attend- commonly journalists, celebrities and fellow fashion industry names. These collections influence the trends for the future season. The shows are often just that-shows. They can be extravagant with dramatic backdrops, like Chanel’s faux Parisian rooftop set. They are quite literally a performance. And they are quite literally the place to be .  Fashion Week has always been what attracted me to fashion so much. The allure and glamour. If you make the front row, you’ve made it. During each week in the different cities there are an abundance of shows. Of course, you have the big names such as ‘Prada’ and ‘Vivienne Westwood’, but it is also a time for upcoming designers to come...

Geganism?

Earlier this week I was at a birthday party for a family friend and ended up having the most interesting conversation about geganism. You are most likely asking: what is geganism? The most specific diet ever? Most probably. Though does it sound amazing? Yes. I always wanted to be vegan, for those who don't know, I haven't eaten meat for nearly two years now- though I eat fish, is that cheating? Anyways. When I initially was completely inspired by the documentary 'Cowspiracy'- if you haven't watched it, WATCH IT- it made me want to go vegan. I tried that for all of about two weeks and failed. It is just as hard as you think. Well it was at the time, I am not so sure about that now. Even in my town centre alone there are five vegan restaurants at least that I can name and I have tried several of them. I have not struggled with finding veggie options with the abundance of products in the vegetarian aisle. Believe it or not, veggie food is delicious- and I will ...
