What are you studying?

I study Digital Marketing. I’m in my fourth year and I’m doing a bit of freelance stuff on the side. I’m at the stall for the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Society.

What are you wearing?

I’ve got my buffaloes on, my cargoes are from Hollister I think. Then this top is from Urban Outfitters.

I feel like my tattoo is also a main piece of the outfit.

How would you describe your style?

I think my style is alternative but also cutesy. I wear a lot of black, it’s rarely that you’ll catch me wearing something colourful.

Where do you like to shop?

I do a lot of shopping online. I really like Hollister and Urban Outfitters as well but it’s expensive.

Who is your style icon?

Probably Instagram, I like alternative Instagram models but I mainly just wear what I like.

What are you studying?

I’m in my second year studying Computing and Creative Design.

What are you wearing?

My fleece is from Skinny Dip. The jeans are from a charity shop but originally from Bershka. The trainers are Adidas Gazelles.

How would you describe your style?

I like bright colours. I quite like fun and unique stuff.

Where do you like to shop?

I quite like charity shops where I can find one-off pieces and stuff you won’t be able to find anywhere else. I love a bargain as well.

I suppose I also like H&M and New Look but mainly charity shops, I like that it’s more sustainable than fast fashion.

Who is your style icon?

I’m not sure I have one. I love Pinterest and I get a lot of ideas on there.

Art and design, it’s my first year.

What are you wearing?

I’m wearing an Ed Hardy zip-up from Urban Outfitters, my t-shirt is the same. Red wash jeans from Jaded and cream Converse.

How would you describe your style?

I’d probably say unique.

Where do you like to shop?

Definitely Urban Outfitters and those types of places.

Who is your style icon?

The first one that comes to my head is Paris Hilton – I know that’s nothing like me though.

I get inspiration from Pinterest as well.

What are you studying?

I’m studying Fashion Management here at RGU.

What are you wearing?

I’m trying to get out of fast fashion trends but I don’t really have the funds at the moment. My top is thrifted, my jeans are from Temu. My shoes are New Rocks, they’re authentic. My belt is from Shien and my boyfriend gave me the hoodie.

How would you describe your style?

Today isn’t a very good show of it but I like very opium and Y2k sort of stuff.

Where do you like to shop?

I support quite a few brands on Instagram that I’m saving up for so I can shop there when I can afford it.

Who is your style icon?

I get most of my inspiration online.
