We often think of our clothes as things, as possessions separate from ourselves when in reality, they act as a second skin. 🪖
Your personal style can help you befriend your body and manage your moods, meaning that your choice of outfit can have a profound effect on how you feel. So, to celebrate the power of clothing to help you lean into who you truly are the FiP team have decided to relaunch our series (love to you if you remember this from a few years back now!) called My Second Skin where we’ll be speaking to people from all walks of life about the role that their wardrobe plays in their everyday life. 💄

How do your clothes make you feel?
I would say my clothes make me feel however I want to feel powerful and confidence from the within to the outside.
What is your most treasured item that brings you joy?
My most treasured item is my jewellery, I am quite superstitious so for me make my outfit and are my lucky charms.
Do you believe your clothes define you in any way?
100%, it may sound cliché but it really does, you can be whoever you want playing dress and most of the time gives hints about your personality.
Has social media changed your relationship with your clothes?
At some point you consume so much media that you don’t even know they are putting trends in your brain without you realizing, all of a sudden you go to your favourite bar and you are all wearing the same. So yes, but I am trying to be in touch more with my personal taste and focusing on other aspects of social media.
