When fashion students at Edinburgh College of Art were faced with a ‘flatpack’ mannequin and a group of Fashion Journalists from UCA Epsom, as part of the University of Edinburgh’s “Innovative Learning Week”, it’s safe to say we felt slightly dubious about what lay ahead. Despite this, Course Director of Fashion at ECA, Mal Burkinshaw, [...]

Diversity & Individuality at London Fashion Week AW2012

Mar 6, 2012 / Blog

charlotte.gush / Autumn Winter 2012, diversity, individuality, london fashion week, round up /

This season, the menswear shows especially seemed to be stepping away from the Hedi Slimane-style extremity of only thin caucasian models. We saw a healthy mix of from slim to athletic to muscular bodies and a range of ethnicities, especially at Vauxhall Fashion Scout’s ‘Ones to Watch‘ show, from designers such as BodyBound: One of [...]

The recent All Walks interview with Elisha Smith leverock on the subject of female body builders got me thinking, and reflecting on my own attitudes to working out and body building. There was a time when I used to have a very naive view of the gym and of women on the treadmill running aimlessly [...]

The increased judgement and scrutiny towards women has extended, it seems, to every part of their body. Ideals influenced by the porn industry have resulted in a significant rise in gynaecological surgery over the past five years. Last December, UK Feminista organised “The Muff March” to protest against this worrying trend. Over 400 women signed [...]

For many of us in fashion, the only reason we know who won the Super Bowl (well, perhaps more accurately, who didn’t) is due to the sport’s link to supermodel Gisele Budchen.

Interview: Make-Up Maestro Kay Montano talks Beauty and Diversity

Feb 9, 2012 / Blog

charlotte.gush / All walks, all walks beyond the catwalk, beauty, diversity, fashion, Interview, Kay Montano, make up artist /

Self-described as a ‘Trojan Horse,’ make-up artist Kay Montano is a modern-day feminist with a passion for diversity; displaying an aversion to ‘born Barbie’ culture, she’s definitely not interested in ‘keeping up with the Kardashians’.
