The Spring Uniform
Each season I tend to struggle about what to post when it comes to fashion. As an owner of a wardrobe so vast it’ll fill a two bedroom apartment easily sectioned by type, colour, season, category that will last decades, I need for nothing, I want for nothing even more in my wardrobe, therefore I…

CORDS: FASHION MAINSTAY

THE LOST ALLURE OF FASHION WEEK
Once upon a time not long ago, I would have been glued to my screen waiting for the livestreams to begin for New York Fashion Week. Bloody hell remember Fashion’s Night Out?
