Furlough Fashion: Life Beyond Loungewear

It's truly bizarre to think we've been in and out of quarantine since March 2020 (in the UK at least).

And then, suddenly we're all 'at home whenever possible'. For many of us, that means taking over the kitchen table with a laptop and dressing our top half only for countless video call engagements. Others...

Why is a leather jacket so expensive?

The classic leather biker jacket style has been around for many years and without a doubt the question ‘Why is this leather jacket so expensive?” has probably popped into shoppers minds countless times. While the answer “Because it’s leather?” is indeed correct and possibly the most obvious thing that has been uttered back, it’s important to know that why this staple item has a high price point isn’t just about the fact that it’s made from leather.

Breaking the fashion rules in 2021

For most of us, fad fashion and trends aren't high on our list of priorities. However, in the current climate, it's easy to look at fashion more cynically than ever. But what if we told you to look at things a different way? In 2021, we're not focusing on magazine covers and social trends. We're focusing on self-expression and exploration. When the aisles of the supermarket at the only runway and your friends and family only see your top half on...

How the Beatles Changed Fashion Forever

In the 1960s, four working class scouse lads got together and decided to make a band. They called themselves, “The Beatles”. You might have heard of them.

The Beatles went on to achieve 20 number one hits, conquer America, redefine rock and roll and arguably change the world as we know it today. Even as Mancs, we have...
