THE INTRO

It was the night before Christmas Eve and I found myself unexpectedly saying goodbye to the people I had spent every day with for the past three years. Reeling from being made redundant not once but twice in nine short months by the same employer was deliriously debilitating.

I was seven days shy of my 25th birthday and convinced this job defined my very existence. Who would I be if I wasn’t broadcasting? What would I do? This wasn’t the year of Corona but the financial crash of 2008. And little did I know, this door closing would allow the next to flood open, giving me my actual defining moment. 

As the weeks merged into one another I found solace in second-hand shopping. Browsing while broke had always been a favourite pastime of mine. For as far back as my memory allows, I have been fascinated by all things old. My grandfather, historic buildings, classic movies and timeless music, but clothes – their texture, smell and stories knock all of that into a cocked hat.
