I was also part of the selection panel for Centre for Fashion Enterprise and in the past have been for Graduate Fashion Week; as well as a judge on The Observer Ethical Awards 2011 and 2012, The Guardian Student Media Awards 2012, the UK Textiles Awards 2013; and have formerly been part of the selection panel for Fashion Scout. I have given talks at London College of Fashion, Central Saint Martins, University of the Creative Arts Epsom, Coventry University, Ravensbourne University and the Conde Nast College; and often host panel talks on SHOWstudio. I have also been a guest on BBC World News, appeared twice on Gemma Cairney’s Radio 1 Xtra show, featured as a guest speaker at Hay Festival 2015 and appeared on BBC Scotland radio. I was shortlisted for Online Fashion Journalist of the Year at the Fashion Monitor Awards 2013 and 2014. I have interviewed designers for the British Fashion Council's BFC Fashion Trust tours. To date these include snooping around the studios of: Emilia Wickstead, Marios Schwab, David Koma and Zoe Jordan. I also like to go to fashion weeks outside of the big four - so far these have included: Sao Paulo, Singapore, Lahore, Istanbul, Copenhagen, Berlin, Kiev, Moscow, Stockholm, Prague, Rome, Helsinki and Seoul (which is maybe my favourite). Meanwhile, celebrities I have profiled include: Daniel Radcliffe, Darren Criss, Anya Taylor-Joy, Tara Reid, Virgil Abloh, Karl Lagerfeld, Caroline de Maigret, Henry Cavill, Dita Von Teese, Kirsten Stewart and Uma Thurman, among them.
I regularly post recent work, as well as timely pieces from my archive (!) on LinkedIn, so do have a click on to see who I've interviewed or what trend I've documented...
Some recent press: here, here and here.
Plus, I recently spoke on the radio about why I reinstated the alarm clock - have a listen!
