Taken from this blog here . Worth a read, i've fallen in love with this blog.


Nothing is real anymore.

Just seen the preview for the new issue of Vogue - once again the cover star Adele has been airbrushed - as was Florence Welch two issues ago. In this ‘natural beauty is everything’ society we apparently live in is doing this, how are we supposed to see the real beauty when even the most powerful fashion magazine are airbrushing our beautiful British ladies?

There is an unbelivable amount of fakes being reproduced for the mass market. The once great and iconic Alexander McQueen skull scarf is now being churned out and sold for 10% of a real McQueen scarf. Does no-one wish to earn enough money and buy a real one? I brought my McQueen three years ago, and it cost me a months wage - but its real, its part of the British Fashion History.

There is no individuality - in our merry city of Leicester, every other girl is now a carbon copy of a boy from Well Gosh - Obey tee, Air Max, all complete with a short back and sides in a shit little top knot. Every guy appears to have fallen into a pile of Stussy and Chinos - Stussy being a skate brand, yet not one has skated in their life? And fake tan. So much fake tan.

In 10, 20 or 30 years time individuality will be lost to the reproductions, the fakes and the fads. Don’t let the airbrushing fool you - Your more beautiful when you look like youve not made an effort.
