Hi Y’all,
I love fabrics, fashion, dressing up, collecting vintage garments, creating new from old & from scratch, distinctive glossy pictures in fashion magazines & avant-garde designers & unique street-chic. Style wise I personally like to rebel against strict fashion trend fascism, because I feel that life is too short to be just another brick in the wall! I shy away from places like GAP & you’d be more likely to find me rummaging through the rails of a well stocked vintage boutique or on all fours going through a mound of second hand clothing at market looking for hidden gems from a bygone era. I’m a self-confessed dress addict and I own over 200 of them, so I only need another 165 then I’ll have the whole year covered, a work in progress! I’ve always loved dressing up & through clothing I have enjoyed a very interesting life of various style incarnations. I’ve never been scared of doing my own thing & I revel in the fact that individual style can stir up such emotion in other people both good & bad. I don’t care if anyone thinks I look like a fashion car crash, at the end of the day I’d much rather be looked over than overlooked! Playing it safe ‘Jeans & Tee Uniformity’ just isn’t for me!!! I don’t slam it I just personally find it rather tedious! I was born with an imaginative streak & as such I do frequently feel the need to create stuff & be arty farty in a variety of different ways…
