What is your brand new show, Style it Out?

Style it Out is a fashion competition for any young person who likes to express themselves in a creative, fun and fashionable way. It’s a competition that sees kids taking on different challenges with different themes each week. At the end of it all we have three finalists, and whoever wins gets to show their collection that they've made during the show at London Fashion Week!

And why this show? How did it come about?

This has been a passion project of mine that we’ve been working on for the past three years. I sat down with the production company in 2020 and they asked me what I wanted to do and I replied - I want to do a creative show with young people. So we kept talking and then this amazing fashion show, which centres around expressing yourself as an individual and sustainability in fashion is what came out of it. It’s been a long process, but it’s been absolutely worthwhile.

Why is sustainable fashion important?

Sustainable fashion should be important to everybody. It’s one of those things that we’re starting to hear about but we don’t really know enough about it. For me, I try to implement sustainability into my life by not over buying. I really try to only buy the things I actually need and pieces that have longevity. I’m also trying to make myself really aware of where I’m buying from, and I never throw anything away! My clothes always get either passed on to somebody or sent to charity. Some of my old clothes were actually used in some of the challenges in Style it Out – watch out for that.#
