So being at college has helped me delve more into what style actually evolves around, especially being a performing arts student where everyone had their own ways and really state their blatant original ideas into fresh competition.
Me however, well personally I found it fun.. I got my first job when I started college, and within the four weeks of every pay I was bound to be absolutely broke with expensive taste.
Kent never really interested me in the slightest, People were boring when it come to clothing purely because the consequences.
especially in dover.. considering I was maturing I really enjoyed the rebellious side of fashion and my equally strange adolescent attitude I developed with it, because I knew people found it funny to see a guy wearing pink jeans or neon colours every season of the year but I just couldn't bare the thought of fitting in with others.
But recently I have calmed my thirst for reactions and found a style more suitable to me which is street grunge.. acid washed denims, Tartan, Vans with a hint of 80's retrowear.
not because I didn't like looking like an over saturated rainbow I just felt it wasn't for the wright reasons.
These 2 popular online clothing shops are just few of many online stores providing latest fashion which everybody seems too crave (Including me)
I must admit I don't see any harm in seeing what the hype is about.. Trying new things and finding out what you really like to wear, How can we preach "Be yourself" when you need to develop that feeling.
In fact my guilty pleasure which I have managed to compose for a while is chains.. Like CHUNKY chains hanging around my neck.. If I could just wear Mr t's jewellery for one day, I'm sure it woud be the happiest of my life.
I would never let stereotypical labels consume who I am as a human being, I feel that the pressure is mainly focused on who can make the biggest impact and create the next must have craze.
Which is brilliant also refreshing seeing new modern day styles that are unique clash and create separation and difference between people, and the fact that people like a little friendly competition.
Well alongside college.. I really thought that college would be the crunch time of my life, to obtain social acceptance though the contrast of the materials I wore with reluctance.
But I couldn't have been more wrong, So me being impatient.. I very quickly decided to move to London and nothing else fascinated me like good old Camden.. I managed to get a full time job there in Chalkfarm, I had my heart set on moving to Camden purely for the music and fashion and alternative scene, but for me being young and working behind a till wouldn't have even got me a bin to rent in Camden.
Fortunately for me I managed to find a place in Highgate before my hostel stay had expired, The style was very strong rather than playful in Highgate.. people wore loafers and suits with duffle coats trimmed beards and a perfectly executed quiff , it just wasn't for me. But still it's every nineteen year olds dream to move bang on Camden road.
above: Typical Highgate style
Luckily for me I met my first friend who happened to live in Camden within a few steps away from hell (Work) and within the time of getting to know one another we realised how much we have in common and use it as an advantage to thrive in our friendship I now sit writing this blog in Steph's, Apartment which I now share with her and her adorable daughter Tiana. (THANK YOU STEPH XXX)
So the message I'm trying to portray is when you feel you are lost or a misfit to the multiple shrines of fashion, there is always a place where you can find comfort and acceptance for yourself and through the rawness and creativity of other people, mine is Camden.
