As someone who lives in t-shirts and shirts, I’d like to consider myself an expert in the field, but I’m not convinced anyone would want to take my fashion advice when I’m usually wearing an old heavily worn t-shirt complete with bleach spots, a crusty food stain and waxy deodorant marks under the armpits.

I mentioned in my previous post, that I used to have a bit of a hoarding problem with magazines. I went to university in Leeds, and there was a Borders bookshop in town, and it was there that I discovered Nylon. I liked that Nylon had cover stars I didn’t know about, and looked different …
I think many people who know me from recent years, would be surprised to discover that (aside from pizza) I spent most of my student loan on fashion magazines from Borders bookshop during my University years, or that for a long time I assumed I’d end up working for a magazine.

Murder, plot twists and herbal tea. ‘A storie for 7-8yrs boy or girl’ The Great War 11th January 1993 It all started when a great king called Sedric rulled a land. He was called Sedric because his family couldn’t think of …
Discovering Kit Williams came just at the right time. I came across him a few years ago when I first read about his book Masquerade, but it was only recently that I delved a little deeper into his work, bought his other book ‘The Bee on the Comb’ (also known as ‘the book without a …
