Just had a piece about fashion experiences published in a magazine, will post an an extract here

For me fashion has always been about making a statement and, early on about being noticed and fitting in. My early forays into fashion were influenced by glamorous eighties films like grease and fame. I hail from the tradition welsh valleys where many people wear conventional clothes and I wanted to stand out from the crowd. I started wearing clothes that were somewhat risque and this allowed me to make the statement I strived for.
....As time as ticked on i've moved on and my ideas of style as well as priorities has changed. Gone are the feelings that I have to fit in and the playground pressure of convention has been lifted too. Time has seen me, while still caring about looking good, go for comfort and maintenance. I'ts fun to look back on the history that made made me dress the way I did but it also feels good to be free of early constraints.

I am interested to hear all of your'e opinions on fashion. Were you forced to fit in. Do you dress to impress or are you more intersted in comfort. Be good to hear your'e thoughts.
