i wish there was some nuance between "everyone has to love the word queer" and "if you don't like it you are a terf automatically". because the reality is i don't identify with the word queer and i never have. as a kid i was aware of it as a slur and as a teenager i started to understand it in an academic concept first (as in Queer Theory) but i didn't identify with it because in my mind it was like, a clinical, academic word. and then later as i got older it became an increasingly prevalent point of conflict around me.
im not arguing that terfs dont dislike queer as a group term, though speaking from a british perspective the majority of them here are very focused on removing the T from LGBT over arguing about queer as a term at all, so it doesnt really feel like a particularly important form of conflict over what is a very targeted erasure of trans identity Specifically.
and thats kind of partially why i struggle to identify with the term Queer. it is not specific. it does not describe or capture my identity. lately i have found much more identity in words like fag, faggot, transexual, which do relate directly to my specific identities and have a very long history in the community. and additionally, won't get fuckin sold back to me by coke.
like that's really all Queer feels like to me now, something that has now been packaged up as an easily marketable buzzword to be printed on t-shirts at Primark or used meaninglessly by Disney to pretend they care. it does not refer to the aspects of my identity that matter to me, it's not something that i ever claimed for myself, and now i am continually getting told that if i don't identify with it im bigoted against myself and my siblings.
"queer was reclaimed by everyone, it was reclaimed in the 80s". i actually don't feel like someone else gets to decide this for me? im not going to lie and pretend it was never used as part of the campaign for equality for decades and decades, it obviously has a crucial place in history, but now in popular culture it has become like. ubiquitous.
like ive said before i think words like fag and dyke can be used in a way that reflects our communal family and is a sign of camaraderie and that's also true of queer, but with those words it's extremely understandable when someone isn't comfortable with them and when someone doesn't want to identify with queer it's treated as a sign they're in the wrong.
idk this is so far from being a crucial issue it's barely worth talking about but i just really struggle with being told that i am in the wrong because i have my own complicated feelings about a word with a complicated history. in the grand scheme of things it's NOT that important but it does grate on my nerves to be told that theres zero room for any kind of debate or alternate opinion in this. like i just wish we didn't have to be so black and white as if the issue has no grey area or room for personal expression at all.

sleepwear that’d drive bts crazy
description: what you’d wear to bed that'd drive the members crazy, sexy lingerie excluded because obviously i’d see most of them loving different forms of lingerie - this is a more domestic version, but still includes sexiness. they’d go crazy the first time they see you like this but it’ll never get old to them…..
author's note: a quick ot7 post in honor of the busan concert but i have wips that are almost done!
namjooon
why do i imagine that namjoon would love girly girly nightgowns on his s/o
get a dainty little nightgown in pink or white that highlights your boobs
and this man is a goner
he’ll go crazy for simple things like his tees too
he’d only like sets if its girly or somehow sexy: like camis paired with short shorts
or better yet a playsuit
but he himself would be surprised at how much he’d love a regular girlie nightgown 
seokjin
seokjin would like two things
nightgowns - feminine but not too girly and frilly like namjoon would like
something simple, cotton, and soft that only very very lightly highlights your curves, with a cute pattern like little hearts or snowflakes 
OR
pyjama sets, of course
ones that resemble his, like button-downs
or those with cropped t-shirt tops and a cute design or funny pun on them
but especially, his pyjamas
yoongi
i think yoongi is the least one to be affected simply by sleepwear
but if anything would have an impact on him
it’s simply underwear
even everyday, simple underwear!
i can see this being a rare thing though, like his s/o would  usually go to bed in sets
but on a rare occasion when yoongis s/o would only wear underwear to bed…. 
he will get so flustered
hoseok
hobi would love those huuuuuge oversized t-shirts / nightgowns that look like huge t-shirts
the type you’d find in primark / target / etc for cheap
with an obnoxiously large or even badly designed design or pattern all over it
or those old, faded tees you'd use for sleeping
with nothing underneath
he doesn’t know why he loves it so much
one day you’ll roll out of bed and just put on biker shorts underneath - for a very quick coffee or grocery run - and the sight will make hobi say “wow”
jimin
absolutely nothing
you’d be used to sleeping naked next to jimin after you both had fun 
but if it’s just a normal, cozy night in and you get into bed naked? just for the sake of sleeping naked?
yeah you won’t sleep
jimin will giggle
“are you going to put something on?” / “why would I? you’ve seen my body, plus it’s hot. goodnight jimin” :) / “what the fuck do you mean ‘goodnight’? get over here.”
taehyung
similar to his kim brothers
taehyung would love girly/feminine pyjama sets and nighties, but unlike the ones namjoon or seokjin would love
tae would love silky, satin, delicate nightgowns - more slips than nightgowns really, and pyjama sets of the same fabrics
with lace at the neckline and at the sleeves 
but the type that’s still made for sleeping rather than lingerie meant to be taken off
complete with matching robe
BUT he’d also love it if you wore long sleeved, button-down pajama set
in either those same silky fabrics or a cozy, thick fleecy fabric or flannel, for him to cozy up to - there’s no in between
get one of those silky, button-down sets embroidered with your initials and tae would go even crazier
jungkook
a classic graphic tee and undies combo would do it for jungkook
It doesn’t matter what type
it could be one of your tees, one of his
your normal undies, women’s boy shorts/boxers, or even a pair of his underwear
It’s just the combo of graphic tee + undies that does it for him
especially in the autumn / winter when you pair that with knee-length socks
as soon as the air turns colder that’s one of the first things jungkook will get excited for
do not expect to sleep when you wear knee-length socks for the first time….
or it’ll be that classic combo but the other way around: just a bra on top, and long pyjama bottoms - with a funky pattern or even a marvel/batman pattern 
if that’s the case, he’ll nuzzle into you the entire night in that outfit, and will playfully unhook your bra when you least expect it

I love your bleach paint shirts they are amazing and you look incredible 🌠
Would you by any chance have any pointers on how to get started with that for someone who'd love to do stuff with bleach but has zero idea how it works nor much artistic talent/skills?
Honestly the reason I'm so into bleach painting lately is that I tried it last year and discovered it is like. CRAZY easy to do. all you need is regular household bleach, an area that it's ok to get bleach on, and a paintbrush. other stuff that's useful is electrical tape and card (for masking/stencilling) and a good spray bottle/mister. Recycling the kind of spray bottles cleaning products come in will give you a very blotchy/streaky effect which looks cool but will probably not stencil super well in my experience - I use a hairdressing mist bottle for stencils that gives a really even coverage.
As a step by step, my process looks like:
Put on light coloured clothes/clothes I don't care about, make sure soft furnishings are well out of the way, and cover any fabric (I have lino floors so usually just move the rug and work directly onto the floor)
Get the clothing I want to work on and put some thick cardboard inside it to hold it flat and make sure I don't bleach through onto the back
Draw out a design in however much detail is useful to you. I use a white pencil so it shows up well - dressmakers chalk would probably also be a good shout.
Cut any stencils I want to use (card, cartridge paper or tracing paper all work but bleach will just soak through regular paper. I have also had solid results cutting shapes directly out of gaffer tape) and stick them on with double sided tape.
Pour some bleach into a jar to work with, put bleach in the mister. Make sure you have some tissue or paper towel on hand bc bleach does go everywhere.
Paint with the bleach! I just use regular nylon paintbrushes for this. You should see the line developing almost straight away, but it might take a while depending on the fabric - sometimes you have to paint a bit blind while the bleach takes a while to work. Resist the urge to paint over it again until you've given it plenty of time!
Rinse it when you think it's developed enough! As soon as I'm done, I take the shirt to the bathroom, take the cardboard out, hang it up in the shower and just fire water at it. Once the water runs clearish, I rinse it properly in the sink. I do the shower step to make sure I've taken off a decent amount of the surface bleach before I submerge it cause I worry about the bleach spreading, but it may not be a necessary step. The water will probably run rust-red or grey for a while - that's what you want, that's the dye washing out of the bleached fabric.
I usually hang it on the bath for a tiny bit to drain off and do any last bits of developing, then stick it in the washing machine on a rinse/spin cycle.
Once it's dry you did it! New t-shirt!
Strongly recommend buying a good few plain black t-shirts to practise on and try out techniques with ☺️ I may go to fast fashion hell for this but I have a box of like 5 black shirts in my wardrobe that I replenish regularly for when I Get The Urge - I get ones that are like £3 from supermarkets and Primark/H&M and hoard them 😅
More details under the cut:
Some stuff about the properties of bleach:
Compared to pretty much any paint, bleach is SUPER viscous. Putting a brush in and pulling it out will stretch out a long string of bleach, and you have to reload the brush a LOT because it'll really only do one brush stroke because bleach likes to stick together
There's a temptation, always, to water it down to make it lighter or easier to work with. DON'T DO THIS (except if it won't come out of a spray bottle without it, and then water it down SUPER sparingly). Reducing the concentration of the bleach will extremely suddenly take it from "will give you a clear bright line" to "the fabric is very slightly paler if you squint in the right light"
The wetter the fabric gets, the more all the bleach will spread. So the more layers of bleach you put on the surface, the less crisp and more glowy the mark gets. In particular, cause spraying the fabric gets it fairly wet, I would always advise doing most spraying and stenciling last if you want to mix painting and stenciling.
Bleach obviously develops over time - depending on the fabric and the concentration you should get a fairly clear idea of how it's going to look after 5 minutes or so, but it will keep developing for a while and it looks a bit darker when it's wet, so you don't 100% know how it'll turn out until it's washed and dry.
There's two ways to moderate tone in bleach painting:
How much bleach you put on the surface (which you can control either by how much bleach is on the brush, or by layering up several rounds of bleach...remembering that the more you layer it, the blurrier it gets)
How long it sits (there's an upper limit to this - if it's been 10 or 15 minutes and it's still not as bright as you want you probably need to go over it again)
Because of this, you always want to start with the stuff you want to be brightest - so, on the ACAB design I started with the highlights on the lettering and the pig, the white squares on his hat, and his white fangs. Then I did the outlines, then worked down from brown to black.
Design notes:
You can't rely on getting crisp edges when you layer bleach on bleach, so I think it helps to leave some empty space around key details like lettering (like a black outline). One thing I've been experimenting with is masking areas off with cut out electrical tape or gently stuck-down card stencils that cover slightly more area than the design so I can work on a background without making everything a blurry mess
It's also very hard to rely on how dark or light an area will come out, so if you try to do bright white against dark brown, you might end up with a whole area of bright white. So again, outlines and empty space are your friends.
Bleach does spread and it is heavily affected by the weave of the fabric, so don't rely on getting tiny clear detail
Cool stuff bleach can do:
Spraying from a mister, spraying from a spray bottle, and just splashing/dribbling/throwing bleach directly onto the surface all give really different and fun effects and it's really nice to layer those up imo
Because of how viscous bleach is, you often leave drops and trails of bleach unexpectedly when you move your brush. this is a feature not a bug it looks Cool And Punk and you can use it to add interest
Different fabrics go different colours. Some go bright white, some go orangey/yellow - if you're really lucky, I've seen some t-shirts that go a really reddish orange and you get some cool bloody effects like that. As far as I can tell, fabrics with a higher cotton content are likely to go brighter (my denim jacket has gone almost bone white under concentrated bleach whereas most cotton mix t-shirts I've done go a fairly bright yellow/orange) while ones with a higher synthetic content may bleach a bit darker/greyer/murkier.
One other note is that bleach does damage the fabric's integrity a tiny bit. Not much, but if when you rinse it the back side of the fabric is more or less as bright as the front, you might want to treat the shirt with a little more care than otherwise - it's not a huge issue, but a few of the shirts that my partner made a few years back have started to develop holes in areas where there's been particularly heavy bleach.

you may not know the show, but id love brenda from beverly hills 90210 (the later seasons in particular) for the style guides ♡♡♡
This has definitely been the hardest of the style guides so far. I hope you enjoy!!
So, Brenda’s style really reminds me of autumn. She’s not afraid of bright colours, but she definitely prefers more neutral tones for her outfits. She has a bit of a girl next door mixed with bad girl vibe to her outfits. I think that it’s well represented in her dark hair and red lips, which contrast to the blonde Kelly
dresses
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Brenda's dresses are usually short with patterns on them, sometimes floral and worn underneath a white t shirt. Sticking with the warm, neutral pallet, I recommend these
https://www.hollisterco.com/shop/eu/p/eyelet-mini-dress-51544819?seq=01&source=googleshopping&cmp=PLA:EVG20:HCo:D:EU:X:GGL:X:SHOP:X:X:X:X:x:HCO_Google_Shopping_PLA_IRE_All_All+Products_PRODUCT_GROUP&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzdOlBhCNARIsAPMwjbxO0tQGGXhf4owibfzdvg3irsEVEC8S9dBLQwNiqIqSNoWPwvRp-HwaAuxNEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
The white t shirt
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
simple white t shirts that can be paired with almost anything, though Kelly prefers to wear them with jeans for a basic look. sometimes she wears button up short sleeved cardigans that give a similar look
Where to buy: New Look, Gap, Hollister, Primark and pretty much any clothing shop.
plaid shirts
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Leaning into her more boyish style that she has at times.
where to buy: my favourite plaid shirts come from the mens section in thrift shops, they always have the comfiest ones. But, boohoo men also have a pretty extensive collection. They also have womens plaid shirts too on their female counterpart, boohoo. https://www.levi.com/IE/en_IE/shirts-blouses-tops/classic-shirts/nola-oversized-shirt/p/A33620009?camp=SHB_DR_Levis_IE_EN_GOO_Performance_Max&gad=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwzdOlBhCNARIsAPMwjbzrtHOZ0IN1lANsx0DEu-MCfE58T4jNH3YIds3zMqMMBkiPegz1TDkaAqA3EALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
Overalls
Tumblr media
Pair these with a plain white or striped T-shirt for a full Brenda vibe. For shoes, I recommend causal trainers or black boots
Denim
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
These are probably the most prominent piece of clothing in her wardrobe. She usually wears light wash mom jeans with the occasional thick, black belt. In warmer weather, opt for shorts instead of full length, and dont be afraid to use bright colours.
Body suits
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
She typically wears these under her mom jeans and in darker colours
Brenda inspired outfit

Overall style notes
•Red, Burnt Orange, Dark blue, Black and white
• Mom Jeans and thick black belts
• Hollister, Calvin Klein, Diesel, Levi, New Look and Brandy Melville for brands
• black ankle boots and casual trainers for shoes
•blazers
• never be afraid to mix traditionally masculine clothing with a feminine outfit
• twin peaks is 'in' and fashionable
• circular goth sunglasses
• t shirt over mini dress
• mens jacket over dress
• she typically wears her hair down
• dark eyeliner and red lips, but not so much that you look like a goth, her makeup is casual (unless you want the goth look, then go for it!)
• don't be afraid to mix your style in with hers
I really struggled with this for some reason and I'm not quite sure if it's as good as it could be, but I really hope that you like it @actuallyblonde-xo . It's kind of making me want to watch the show 🤎

The Feminine Appearance Part 1 - Modesty in More Detail
Modesty, unfortunately, has developed a connotation of only being one specific type of way: boring, unflattering, frumpy, grandma-ish. We've been taught that if you're modest, you're automatically seen as unattractive and/or pretty girls and beautiful women can't be modest.
While modesty is super important and needs to be/should be followed by a traditional feminine woman, that doesn't mean you have an excuse to neglect your appearance and look unattractive.
You do not need to look like your grandma to be modest, so put the mumu down. Modesty doesn't not equal frumpiness or is the antithesis of fashionable dressing. It simply means that we do not need to show off all of our good to look attractive.
Take me for example. I went through the entire of college thinking that in order to be seen as attractive, I needed to wear the shortest shorts possible and show off my chest at any opportunity. Now I know however, that a dress that goes to just below my collarbone and is knee length is still just as attractive if you know how to wear it correctly.
A feminine, traditional woman can't neglect her appearance. It's our duty to be put together, to stay attractive, and be pleasant to be around. We owe it to ourselves, our husbands, our community. And it starts with one of the easiest things to change about yourself, your clothes.
One of the number one things I see that work to ruin modesty is not dressing for your body type or just opting for the baggy, 3 sizes too big garment. Flowy is fine, but baggy is going to do all the wrong things to your feminine shape. Don't show it off, but don't completely hide from it as well. There's a balance, cinch in your waist with a belt or wear an outfit that you brought to a tailor to fit you just right.
The other main thing I see is your clothing being very plain. Simplicity is nice in certain circumstances but in order to be attractive and modest, you need to start playing with patterns and fabrics, change things up a bit. You don't need to always wear solid colors in cotton or wool. Opt for maybe a floral pattern or fabric like satin or chiffon.
Here's some key items that help elevate your modesty and keep you away from looking old:
Accessories. Don't let your clothes just speak for themselves. Make yourself look put together, wear a necklace or some nice earrings to make the rest of you pop. My favorites are usually a simple chain or one with a subtle pendant and smaller hoop earrings. Wear a neck scarf, sunglasses that flatter you face shape.
Slip/Satin skirts
Matching Sets
Longline or tailored blazers
Jean skirts IF done correctly, with a raw hem or slightly distressed with a tailored fit
Layering pieces. Have a spaghetti strap top or dress you want to wear? Throw a t-shirt underneath.
Play with patterns and fabrics, don't just stick with plain white or black cotton
Graphic t-shirts. If you have them, wear them with a skirt and a cardigan to jazz it up!
Smock tops, especially for ladies like me with larger chests
Modest fashion that is flattering and age appropriate is sometimes SO difficult to find in standard retail stores! I promise that you can find something almost everywhere, but digging for those holy grail items can be exhausting.
So here are some stores, in person and online, that I find hold the most amount of modest products so you don't waste your time:
Uniqlo - this is where I bought my FAVORITE house dress, plus is a great store for basics
H&M - particularly their sections on business wear has great blouses, skirts, and dresses
Primark - this can be hit and miss but the dresses are wonderful
Ivy City and Co. - an online boutique based in Utah, has great items and adorable Mommy and Me matching sets!
NeeSee's Dresses - caters specifically to modest fashion, a bit pricier but so worth it
JC Penney and Kohls - they're everywhere and they have pretty much everything under the sun you would want, dress, skirts, loose pants, and blouses!
Amazon - I try not to shop here for clothes all that often because quality can vary, but if it has a good review, it's typically great and has great variety!

Weekly Trend- Red Ballet Flats on Pavement 
    As the weather cools, the easiest way to transition your summer wardrobe into your Autumn closet is to add a pop of red. From sweaters to scarves, warm tones are staples for Fall. However a new focus has been placed on bright red accessories this season, most notably cherry red bags and scarlet ballet flats. 
Tumblr media
  Incorporated in runways such as Sandy Liang and Simone Rocha, these slippers have made their way out onto the street and into the circles of It-girls and Pinterest- connoisseurs. Originally popularized by the likes of Brigitte Bardot, the movie star requested tomato red flats to wear in the film And God Created Women (1965). Decades later Chanel created their signature toe-cap pumps, and slowly these shoes have seen their resurgence into the trend-cycle in 2023.
Tumblr media
These shoes have been dressed up and down and every direction; from white mini dresses and lace to regular jeans and a t-shirt, they create a statement without the effort. Celebrities of varying ‘aesthetics’ have thrown on a pair for everyday use. Sofia Richie rocked her Jacquemus’s backless ballerinas during New York fashion week, the same time Sophie Turner dined with Taylor Swift wearing a similar pair. Olivia Rodrigo currently is  often seen in red; if not a dress, then the crimson shoe makes an appearance. 
  Because of the minimalist appearance of the shoe, it has the ability to work with seemingly almost any outfit. The potential to be timeless is hopeful, as while most trending shoes are specific to one brand/designer (ie. adidas superstars, slip on vans, black converse, sambas), These incredibly versatile shoes can be made by anyone at any price point. While a popular version is sold by Prada for upwards of $950, a more accessible version is sold by Steve Madden for $79. Even further, Primark sells red ballet flats for less than $10. 
Tumblr media
How can one not invest in a pair at this rate?

C3: Exhibition Brief
Planning
For this exhibition brief, I am wanting to promote myself through my design work. I am wanting to use black and white pocketed t-shirts to heat transfer my designs onto. I took a look into costs of the shirts and the DTF (Direct To Film) printing costs:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The pocketed t-shirts online are around £16 for a pack of x5, I am going to take a look in Primark at their shirts to see if I can find some for a better price.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Printing costs for DTF seem to be reasonable and I feel that for the t-shirts I will only need x3-5 pieces of A3 with my designs fitted into that artwork space.
Items in screenshots can be found here:

Omg yes I need parts 2 and 3!!! That was extremely intriguing. Keep going!!
Have a snippet while u wait!
"Spends twenty minutes demanding to know what I look for in a man, then he literally throws me in your path," she intones, smoothing down the front of her t-shirt. "I wonder what conclusion he arrived at?"
It wasn't noticeable from a distance, but up close, it's clear that she's wearing a hot pink bra beneath that spotless white cotton. It is A Choice and A Torment both, naturally drawing his gaze to the last place he should be looking.
James firmly meets her eyes instead and—oh god, that's almost worse.
"I'm sorry, he—it's my birthday," he offers lamely.
"And he forgot to buy you a present."
"He didn't—" James's eyes flick to the door that Sirius disappeared through. "He said he'd give it to me later."
"Well, sorry to break your heart and all, but I think I'm a hasty sub-in for a forgotten birthday gift, tragedy abounds," she informs him. There is a definite, perhaps-amused, mercifully-not-enraged lip quirk. "The problem there, though, is that he didn't purchase me in Argos?"
James laughs, nervously. "I think you're a bit more upmarket than Argos, yeah?"
"Yeah, you'd think."
"Anyone would."
"Like I said to your mad mate"—she gives the end of her t-shirt a shake—"Primark's best. Soz."
"And? These are from Asda," he retorts, and tugs the band of his briefs above the waistband of his jeans. "What's your point?"

Style Q&As from the old SkinsLife website
Hi guys! In my search to find the striped hoodie Cassie wears at the end of her series 1 episode, I found the old SkinsLife website, where Edward Gibbon (the costume designer) did his Q&As before they moved over to the e4 website.  Unfortunately, not all of it has been archived, but there’s a lot of good stuff about where the series 2 costumes come from, and a ton of questions about Cassie’s clothes.
Here’s what I could find.  I’ll put all of the Cassie questions at the top and then all of the other ones under a cut:
-------------------------------
Hellie Cory: Can you please tell me where they got Cassie's skirt?? I absolutely love it and I've been searching for ages with no luck : (
Edward: Cassie's skirt is from a small Japanese designer in Camden (and well spotted Olivia xx the fabric is from Ikea.)
-------------------------------
TanitaAlethia: Im so happy about this. I have always wanted a nice, not sexy (like in costumes shops, there gross) little sailor outfit. When Cassi had one on, i almost fell of my chair, i love love LOVE it. So i was wondering, where an earth did you fined it? Thankyou =] Tanita-Alethia
Edward: Cassie's sailor top was from New York, but you can always try an Army Surplus store or maybe Camden if you're anywhere near London. Let me know how you get on!
------------------------------- evil_daisys: hey, i wasnt sure where to put this,, but were did you find the dress cassie wore in episode 1 of season one at the party? and episode 2 of season one she wore at michelles? i love the way she dresses its so cute and girly and still slightly different =)
Edward: Both of Cassies dresses were vintage pieces from the 60s and 50s respectively - keep your eye out wherever you are and never turn down an invite to a jumble sale ! -------------------------------
AmyyB: hi edward, can you please tell me where cassies pink chiffon top and grey socks that she wears in chris' episode? thanks sweetheart keep up the good work x
Edward: cassies' chiffon top was from Top Shop and the socks are from H&M.; --------------------------------------
maxine: heya, i was just wondering where cassie's bow t-shirt is from, from the latest advert? ♥x
Edward: cassie's bow t-shirt was from TopShop ------------------------------------------------
Franchesca Allen: Hi im really into weird and unusual style and i love cassie's. I was wondering if you could tell me where you get most of her clothes. And i was wondering in series 2 effy's episode whats she wearing with the leopard skin tights, what top is it? Please reply i've wrote before and got no reply :) Thanks and keep up the amazing brainstorms with the costumes xx
Edward: Cassies clothes are from all over the place ! Her style is a mixture of amazing vintage pieces, charity shop finds, vintage designer stuff and high street sale stuff (normally the things no one else wants ! ) The top you are talking about was a vintage nylon 'teddy'(an all in one , shorts and top underwear item ). This year she has been wearing a lot of underwear as outerwear so keep your eyes peeled in charity shops and don't be afraid to rummage through dead peoples' clothes! ------------------------------------------------
rachey_babey: hi can you please tell me where cassies gold high hees are from that she's wearing when she spills the milk and could you please tell me where the dress / nightdress cassie wore when she was sitting on the couch with chris and watching telly is from? i think it was white with a green or blue rim. ta.
Edward: Cassie's gold shoes are character shoes from a dance shop , customised with gold leaf and cassie's nightdress was a plain cream dress from H&M; which we customised with green lace ------------------------------- sarinda: hello, i really love cassie's style, i love going to jumble sales and charity shops looking for vintage finds so its really great that there is someone like that on tv. i was wondering where you got cassie's red skirt and gold shoes when she is at her exam? and also where her bra if from when she is getting dressed before that. thank you xx =]
Edward: Thanks, Sarinda. Cassie's skirt was Prada, shoes from Bertie and bra from M&S...;
------------------------------------------------
Lauren Jones: Hey I was hoping you could please tell me where Casie's night dress with the skeleton on it is from?? I have been looking everywhere and cant even find something similar! I would love to know where I could get one from please x
Edward: Cassie's skeleton dress was from TopShop Unique. It's probably not available any more, I'm afraid, but keep looking - you never know! ------------------------------------------------ Leelee: Helloo! My question is regarding the reaons behind Cassie's rapid change in clothing style in episode 9 when she arrives in NYC. At first I simply assumed it was to make her seem more vagrant looking, as though she was wearing simply what she grabbed in the dash. But then in the last scene of the episode, she is running down the street and is in another compltely out of character outfit, and wondered that would she really have all these clothes that she just never wears? Was there any specific reason as to this change? Thanks!
Edward: By the time we see Cassie in NYC she has been on the road for a while and grabbed clothes wherever she finds them , if they don't seem quite like what she normally wears that's because of what she has been through and the clothes she goes running in are Adams - see clothes tell a story as well ! ------------------------------------------------ asdfghjklxx: hii i was just wondering if you could tell me where cassies boots and jeans were from that she was wearing in the last episode when she arrives in new york, also where is the red and white candy striped skirt that she wears with the bow tshirt in her exam from? thanksss xxx
Edward: The jeans are from Uniqlo and then distressed, the boots from a Charity shop and the skirt by Prada
------------------------------------------------
meli_x: In the latest episode where was cassies t shirt with the bow on from and the socks she was wearing with that outfit (when she was in the exam). also her hairclip with two robins in (i think) and the necklace with the trophy on and her stripy dress from when she met chris' mom thanks :) x
Edward: the t-shirt was from TopShop, socks from Noa Noa and the birds were christmas decorations from a craft shop... ------------------------------------------------
Sara: Hey Edward, any chance you could tell me where Cassie's necklace (the cup/trophy) that she wears throughout ep. 9 is from? Thank you very much, loving your work!
Edward: Cassie's necklace was made from a piece of ribbon and an old badge from a Vintage Fair. It said 'victory' on it, if that helps. ------------------------------------------------
Danni: hey, i was wandering where cassies big blue jacket/coat was from, the one where she first arrives in new york? thankyou :)
Edward: Cassie's jacket was a vintage American College jacket - which was worn by Chris in the last series on the school trip to Russia, adding a nice bit of continuity ! ------------------------------------------------
rachael tallentire: hey 2 thngs i want to know where is cassies skeleton dress/nightie she wears in the last episode and also where is her top she wears for her exam from?
Edward:- both are from TopShop Unique range...
And a few Effy questions as well:
Munchkin: Where is the dress Effy wore to the rave in episode 1 series 2 from? i absolutely love her style, you dress her amazingly, it matches her personality exactly. please show us more of effie she is immense!!
Edward: Effy's rave dress was made by customising 2 dresses: one from Oasis and the other a vintage one from a charity shop...
------------------------------------------------
Michelle123: I hope this doesn't sound pervy but where is Effy's underwear from when she is in her room with Sid? x
Edward: Effy's underwear was from Primark and M&S; !
------------------------------------------------
larry the lady: Must, must, must know where Effy's jeans or leggins or what ever are from. i could die happy if i could get a pair. I'm on about the large striped black and white ones. XD oh and where would effy's character typically shop for her rave clothing. Love love love xxx P.s the black and white striped jean things, remember, we want them!! lol
Edward: Effy's jeans were from phunky phish/ Effy loves shopping in unexpected places - other peoples houses / old ladies wardrobes / her gran's charity bag and then she customises with scissors and a blowtorch !
------------------------------------------------
Other costume questions:
Pascha Rix: I really loved the gorgeous white shorts that Michele was wearing once in a club scene when she was dancing up against two other guys. The shorts were tiny, white and with pink sequins on them and they were absolutely gorgeous! Where do you also tend to look for other clothes she wears? Are there particular shops you goto?
Edward: The skirt's from Top shop but you can make your own if you like: hack off a pair of old jeans as high as you dare and then cover randomly with sequins...
------------------------------------------------
Kris Jones: I'd just like to know whether ALL the actors' clothes are chosen by stylists, or do some of them get to wear their own stuff? Do you even choose their pants?
Edward: Pretty much everything they wear is chosen by me - especially their pants and socks; they play an important part in defining their characters.....

Edward: Maxxie's hat was from H&M; ------------------------------------------------ Maciej: Hello Edward. I have trouble with shoes. I was just wondering if you could give me some advice. I like Maxxie's style, but I still don't know what should I pick. The clothes I mostly wear are from American Eagle (ae.com), no ripped jeans though. I don't think ripped jeans look nice. I also don't wear baggy jeans. I'm 6'2" and kind of skinny (pant size: 30x34 or 31x34). My shoe size is 12.5. So I'm big, skinny guy with big feet. I have no sense in how a shoe should match. I was just wondering if you could tell me what would look best on my feet from a brand like Nike, Puma, or one I could easily get in Chicago area. Btw. love watching Skins :-) Thanks.
Edward: the best look for fairly big feet is the plainest styles of trainers - good old Converse are a safe choice, mess it up with some of the great colours they do . Old school trainers like Nike Tennis shoes or their retro Waffle style / addidas gazelle or stan Smiths . Swear is a British label that does great very flat plain trainers with a twist - they have a brilliant new collection in collaboration with Hummel . So basically the plainer and flatter the better, avoid anything with chunky soles and too much detailing . ------------------------------------------------ HaydenWing: hi Edward, could you please tell me where can i get Maxxie's bag in Ep. 8 when he comes into the classroom with James. Thankies!
Edward: Maxxie's bag is by Freitag , who make great bags from recycled materials like tyres ,seat belts and inner tubes ------------------------------------------------ Chris Murray: Hey Edward, cheers for looking :) Could you tell me where Chris' tiger skin pink and black top is from, the one he's wearing in Episode 2? Its the coolest thing I've seen him wear!!
Edward: Chris's tiger t-shirt is from Behave on Lexington Street ------------------------------------------------ windinthewire: please can you say where jal got her giraffe earings from, i love them and reaaaally want a pair!
Edward: Jal's earings were from TopShop ------------------------------------------------ AlexGabriel: Hiya. I'd like to know where Maxxie's grey trousers are from, the ones he wears when he comes into the classroom with James.
Edward: Maxxie's trousers were from Cos ------------------------------------------------ trainstobrasil: could you please tell me what Jal's book bag is in episode 8 this season? the lovely yellow one with the design that she carries around throughout the episode. I loved it! thanks :)
Edward: Jal's bag is by Eastpak ------------------------------------------------
Abby Fletcher: hey, just wondered where jal's yellow dress with the black shirt underneath came from, and the earrings she has in in the audition! thanks much! xx
Edward: Jal's yellow dress was from Monsoon and the brown shirt underneath was Calvin Klein Jeans ------------------------------------------------ Jerry: Hi, I was just wondering what bag Tony wears in season 1, it looks like a Gucci bag but I never get a good look at it. The name of it would be swell!
Edward: Tony's bag was an unbranded one from Camden Market ------------------------------------------------ verity: hey, wondering where michelle's silver vest in tonights episode came from. and her vests in general :) then i just need to wait for some warmer weather..! thanks
Edward: Michelle's silver vest was from Kate Moss for Top Shop - her vests are from all over , American Apparel is great for brilliant coloured basics made in ethical factories ( much better for your conscience and the world than Primark !)
Episode 7
------------------------------------------------
moppet: Hey Edward, I just want to say I think the overall look of the characters in the show is amazing so whatever you are doing with the wardrobe you are doing it extremely well! I hate to be the 1,000,000,000th person to ask you this but...in Michelle's episode (Series 2, Episode 4) she wears a pair of skirt dungarees or a skirt with braces made of denimn. I would love it if you could tell me where you found it? Or where I could find a similar item? I know several people have already asked you on this about it. I would really appreciate it if you could get back to us about it. It would actually mean a lot! much love, moppet xx
Edward: Really sorry but can't actually remember what label Michelle's dungaree skirt was - it was a TKMaxx find - but try Lees new stuff designed by Jane Birkin for something silmilair ------------------------------------------------ HarrietBABESS: Hi, i was wondering if you could please tell me where michelle's necklace is from in her lost weeks diary, the black bow one, and effy's dress she wears to the club in series 2 episode 7? I would really love to know where to get them. Thanks
Edward: Michelles necklace was from Warehouse and Effy's dress was created from a vintage beaded dress , customised over another dress from Oasis - so sharpen those scissors and start creating ! ------------------------------------------------ geodude: hi i was just wondering if you could tell me wer you get the majority of chris' vest tops from i just think there so good that i have to have one especially this one!! thanks XD
Edward: a lot of Chris' vests are 70s deadstock - original stuff that was never sold - from markets and vintage shops - try some of the retro stalls in Camden or local car boot sales ------------------------------------------------ christian20: Hey I was just wondering if you could tell me where Maxxie's jacket is from that he wore at the skins secret party??? thanx
Edward: Maxxies' rowing blazer was hired from a Bristol Costume Shop and is probably about 100 years old - still looks good doesn't it , just goes to show great style never goes out of fashion . ------------------------------------------------
alex: hi edward, i've been spending my internet millions on some new clothes recently. can i tell everyone about them? (Note: Alex, despite his yuppy question, is not the sugar daddy he claims to be. You've been warned, girls...Ed.)
Alex - we need photos of you modelling your new looks maybe with some of your Skins' co-workers ! ------------------------------------------------ AnnaBanana: Hi Edward! First of all, well done on your supreme costume choosing, its impeccible! I was wonder where Chris' fluffy hat from the Skins 2 opening credits is from? Its pretty much the best hat i have ever witnessed :0 Thanks
Edward: Chris' fluffy hat was from the brilliant hip/hop stall in St. Nicholas's Market in Bristol ------------------------------------------------ Bridget Burton: hi i was just wondering if you could tell me where you got Jal's Shirt, shorts and (i think they were Nike) Trainers rom episode 1 series 2, where she and chris go to pick up Tony from Maxxie's. That would be very helpful.x
Edward: Jal's shirt was from H&M;, shorts were from Uniqlo and her trainers were indeed Nike . ------------------------------------------------

Edward: Jal's audition dress was from Oasis - well asked!
------------------------------------------------
snoogins: This may sound like a stupid question, but i thought you should be the one to ask. I have a big problem buying trousers for myself. I dunno if it's just my frame (I'm 6 foot and pretty thin). But anything outside of blue jeans look awkward on me. I was wondering if you had any tips when look for mens trousers. Oh and everyone always asks where certain characters shop. I was wanting to know whats your own favourite brands of clothing?
Edward: Hi snoogins. Blue jeans are a pretty good basic for any look - take advantage of your height by maybe wearing trousers a bit shorter than you normally would - Farah have a great range of trousers that suit all shapes, so check them out. My favourite labels are Margaret Howell, Vivienne Westwood, Thom Browne and thanks for asking... ------------------------------------------------
skinsfreak: hey edward, was just wondering where Chris's Monkey Man t shirt was from?

Top modest fashion trends you need to know about
Tumblr media
Modest fashion video today I'm sharing 2021's top trends that are modest friendly that I have been wearing and loving for the last little while now I have been loving wearing possibly overkilling is oversized blazers and oversized suits now the silhouette we've been teased with it over the years but it is really back with a force and it is here to stay now this is of course classic and super super versatile because as we know now blazers can be dressed up or down I love pairing them with jeans.
