An Introduction

It was a long-standing adoration of fashion that drew me to the FJN course, though admittedly now it is journalism that has become my first love. I write because it allows me to express the thoughts I never quite manage to articulate in conversation ― when I write I'm at wittiest and most intelligent, or so I like to think. However, fashion will always have the sort of hold over me that, one day, will leave me with the window cleaning bills for removing several inches of drool from the glossy exteriors of designer shops my bank manager prohibits me from entering. The designers that keep me salivating most on a regular basis are Nicholas Ghesquiere and Christopher Bailey.

I draw inspiration from news stories, art exhibitions, books I've read, and anything topical I can relate to fashion, always trying to make connections between fashion and other aspects of culture and life. I've been fortunate enough to travel widely and last year completed work experience at a couple of publications in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. I've also indulged my interest in travel recently by working with Wallpaper* City Guides. Having briefly been to New York once before I'm really excited about developing connections with everyone at Parsons and discovering more about the life and style of a fabulous city.
