I've been trying to write this post for months, but two things inspired me to finally finish it: a recent article by Frankie Graddon for The Pool on garments with annoying cut-aways, and the announcement of the line up for RuPaul's Drag Race: All-Stars season 3. Here's the reason why I turn to drag queens... Continue Reading →
Playful Promises are on fire right now and I just can't keep up with the number of amazing collections and campaigns they're launching, much to the excitement of their ever growing customer base. Having ventured out of core sizing into full bust in 2014, they embraced plus size and released a Curve collection last year,... Continue Reading →
A few months ago, my sister asked if I'd be interested in going to Stylist Live with her. This self-proclaimed 'festival of inspiration' runs for 4 days at the Business Design Centre in Islington and, as a regular reader of Stylist - well, whenever I can get my hands on a copy at Oxford Circus...

As someone who has squishy bits, I can't help but look at the models when I'm looking at photographs of clothing. When they are roughly the same shape as you, there's no real need to look at anything other the garments, as the way it fits them is probably going to be the way it... Continue Reading →
I was contacted recently by feminist film director Mélodie Roulaud as she wanted to share her latest project, Scream Queens. A short fashion film from a director who is passionate about promoting body diversity would have been high on my watch list anyway, but the summary is even more wonderful.

As regular readers will know, I like to share things that catch my eye and a recent email about feminist body positive lingerie was certainly going to do that!

For someone who has never really found her own niche, I'm rather interested in niche fashion blogs. They aren't always sites that you might instantly think of as being relevant to my interests either - as well as following a lot of lingerie focused blogs, I also subscribe to plus size fashion blogs, classic menswear...

Before I started working at London College of Fashion, I'd not really thought much about fashion in a broader social context. I'd never considered how people engage with fashion and how it can be used as a 'way in' to discuss more complex topics. Fashion touches our minds, bodies and environment - often without us...

Like many of my friends, I use a messaging app called Telegram. Today a few of us noticed that starting a message with certain emoji caused a cartoon image to pop up, and we found out through their blog that this was a new feature called 'stickers'. I'm not entirely sure what the point of... Continue Reading →
Continuing my series on creative careers, I'd like to introduce you to the fabulous Efi Ntoumouzi. Well known to her friends as a super stylish shoe obsessive, Efi's role as an Art Director in the fashion industry sounded fascinating but I didn't know much about what it might involve so I thought I'd ask her...
