GUESTLIST 2016 / ISSUE 95 15 FASHION It's easy to get caught up in the world of fast fashion. STOP FOLLOWING FAST FASHION You are constantly surrounded by it every day there's an H&M on almost every street corner. But there are a few easy steps you can take to disentangle your world from the fast fashion bubble. The first is simple, stop following high profile fashion brands on social media! Give yourself space from a consistent barage of clothes, looks and outfits that not only do you not need, but hurt the environment and many people along the way. Swap these for something inspiring, follow Instagram accounts like StoriesBehindThings promoting the wonders of second hand, pre-loved pieces. Or Zady making clothes that last a lifetime and fash_rev who promote the true cost of fashion. It seems ethical & sustainable fashion is becoming a much more popular subject but you can help make it so. Talk about it with you friends, organise clothes swap with your peers and start finding your favourite charity shops. It might take a while to scout out spots where you can find gems but once you've got these, make the trip & you'll be surprised what you can find! Using her own body, she brightly paints herself and takes photographs of her work, creating her contemporary pieces that are inspirational to free-spirited fashionistas, artists and all round creative types. Some people use clothing to express themselves, whereas Derrick uses her body and paint, breaking all the rules in the art and fashion industry. "My body becomes the canvas for the paint, questioning the traditional concept of painting & portraiture, and the barriers between painting and photography" - Sophie Derrick If you're running low on creative vision, Derrick's work is full of colour and life which could potentially give you the next ground breaking idea.
