Student Style for Vogue

I can't believe that this time last year I was nervously packing suitcases, trying to enjoy the last few weeks of the holiday and contemplating the books not yet ticked off my reading list. The first year of university has whizzed past, the second looming up ahead.

So it's more than apt timing for something I wrote on student style to have appeared on Vogue.co.uk. You can read the piece, titled 'Student Style: The University of Fashion Life' here. What I assumed would be a straightforward set of observations on outfits slowly became more of a meditation on identity, transitions and the role clothes can play in establishing yourself - or providing some much-needed armour.  

Alongside the writing, I was asked to document some of the outfits of students in Oxford - which I did, enjoying the chance to really focus on whose wardrobe choices I admired most. However, in the end these images weren't actually used, so I'm putting them up here as an addition to the article. Those pictured above are a mixture of friends, acquaintances and one or two individuals I ran up to on the street to ask if I could take a quick snap. Thanks to all of them for giving me their time.
