About
A Fashion communicator and stylist, with skills in editorial and campaign styling, digital editing platforms, print, layout, and social media promotion.
How many times do you pose in the mirror feeling amazing until you really start to look. Your nose grows two sizes; your jawline isn’t chiselled enough, and your stomach looks to round. Now you for you FYP is growing more toxic, you can’t escape skinny girls body checking saying their too fat and celebrities hiding behind Ozempic. This is the weight of your reflection. This editorial for Garageland Magazine explores the mentality and struggle of feeling too big. It comments on how the massive take-off of weight-loss drugs and the slow progress of body positivity in former years has stopped the movement and easily taken us back to a time where skinniness is valued above all. It's inspired by the guilt and pressure you feel when you're not the trending weight and how you start to hyperfocus on your insecurities rather than being able to see your whole self.
