The Big Issue

Picked up the latest Big Issue courtesy of my mate Chris on the UEA Campus. 

I had to get it, it's The Fashion Issue! It couldn't have come at a better time, I want an insight into the Fashion Industry how to get my foot in, what paths to pursue and what I need to do. The Issue being a great read. Perfect timing indeed. 

Overall the issue asks the question, 'Is fashion really at the heart of who we are'? I know a lot of people who would beg to differ but from looking at all the fashion blogs I follow the answer from designers, bloggers, journalists they would all shout YES !! !! !! 

Editor Zoe Lewis says something that resonates with me, as she talks about the importance of her outfit for a particular day and how she had already constructed it in her head, 

"Before I dressed, I had unconciously made the decision to wear this outfit. In fact, there is no way I could have left the house in anything else. Does fashion rule my life?'

I asked myself the same question, and in all honesty it does... Well to a certain extent anyway, as far as my bank balance will take me. But I like to look good, I get pretty pre-occupied in the morning with picking out what to wear, I want my outfit to fit.. I construct what I wear around my kicks mainly... If I'm wearing my green Dunks, might put the American Apparel hoody on or make the trainers pop by themselves with my black jumper. 

My black Jordan 1's go with everything! And I wear my grey Cheap Monday jeans to DEATH! 

I love to feel comfortable in what I wear, that's the main thing always. 

Not the brand, the price, just how it fits on me.

Seriously, get this issue. There's more questions, insights and answers!
