Introduction	Semi-Finalist in Grazia's Fashion Blogger of the Year 2012. I collect clothing with as much passion as I collect vintage photographs, which is a lot! I'm a qualified journalist with a strong interest in fashion and related visual culture. This blog is where you'll find me writing on anything from the newest high street collections to the power of fashion illustration or my love of the costumes in classic films. Warning: this blog may contain serious Vivienne Westwood worship.
