With Fashion Month at its end, it has been interesting to see innovations in the world of fashion. Despite the focus on bigger, well-known designers, we should also consider the designers that may not be as popular but should definitely be on our radar for the future. These designers manage to incorporate artistry and social issues, such as sustainability, identity, race and sexuality, within their work.

Review: Working Men’s Club @ The Cavern

Despite having only released their first single in February of 2019, Working Men’s Club have already built a loyal following which is growing by the day. Their sound echoes the post-punk movement with a techno twist, which meant I was instantly hooked after my first listen. With such an interesting sound, I’ve been very excited to see how it transfers to a live performance, and I definitely wasn’t disappointed. Continue reading Review: Working Men’s Club @ The Cavern

We Need To Have A Conversation About Sexual Assault at University

Content Warning: Sexual Assault; Mental Health; Personal Account

The worst day of my life was the day after I was sexually assaulted in my first term at university. Looking back now, it’s hard to imagine how I got through that time – I felt completely paralysed by circumstances out of my control, unable to consider a future in which things would be normal again.

Fear that is unfortunately all too common among the women who study at the University, whether they are a first-hand survivor or are simply aware that it is something to be afraid of. 23% of women experience sexual assault at some point in their lives, a shocking fact when you consider that this equates to almost a quarter of the women you know. It has been over a year since I became a part of this statistic, and I am okay now – but the situation still is not.  Continue reading We Need To Have A Conversation About Sexual Assault at University
