Blogging is relatively new to me. I started this blog only three years ago. However, fashion is something I have always had an interest in, even at a young age. Dressing up in mum’s clothes, clip-clopping in her shoes, wearing her bags and stealing her make up! We’ve all done it, girls! I could go on all day about how much I love clothes and shopping, which I so often do. Instead, I will take on a different approach by telling you how I took my interest in fashion to a different level and why I should be given the chance to blog at the front row at A/W 11 Look Show. (#LookShowWSC)
During secondary school, I had made my mind up that I wanted to use my interest and turn it in to a career. I often wished I was good at maths so that I could be an accountant, or wish I was smart (or brave) enough to become a doctor, or a nurse so that I could help people. As a fashion student, we often have to justify what we’re at university for and put up with remarks such as “How can you "study" fashion?” – “So, all you do is just cut pictures out from magazines and stick them in a sketchbook??” – No, not true. But I was always realistic with my goals. After all, fashion is one of the biggest global industries. The two things that I had an interest in were learning how businesses work and of course, fashion! So I took business studies and textiles for my A-Levels, then I went to study National Diploma BTEC in Fashion Design at college, which led me to complete a degree in Fashion Marketing at Northumbria University. To me, fashion is more than clothes and shopping. For so long, (8 years to be exact) I have enjoyed learning about how the fashion industry works.
So, why should I be chosen to blog about Look Magazine’s fashion show? From my experiences within both my fashion marketing degree and running my own business, I understand commercial fashion from both side of the fence (as a consumer, and from inside the industry). This has allowed me to have a more in-depth analytical view of how fashion is communicated and marketed to the public. I have an understanding of how to interpretate a concept, and I also understand the technical side of how a garment is made. Also, having a business and from the brand's point of view, I know how to work with bloggers. And as a blogger, I know how to work with, and promote businesses. It is paramount that I show things on my blog posts that are interesting and aesthetically pleasing for everyone to read. And as you have noticed, I am very meticulous with the photography.
If I was given the opportunity to blog for Look Magazine’s fashion show, I would absolutely ensure that I’d do it justice. I'm very dedicated and determined, and I put 100% in to everything I do, I wouldn't settle for anything less than perfect. I always make sure that I engage with other bloggers and that I interact with everyone no matter who they are. I would want to make it feel as if my readers were right there with me!
In addition to that, to show you that I have a “passion for fashion” (my uni tutors would kill me for using that phrase!), below are a few images of my own work to show the skills that I have acquired in the many areas of fashion, in hope to demonstrate that I would be a good candidate!
