Fashion hasn’t been my cup of tea for a long time. I used to dream of being a magazine writer. Being in the world of glamour was all I wanted to do. Then I stepped off that track a little and desired to be a presenter or a correspondent between countries. Writing about shoes and scarves couldn’t be more unexciting. Politics, Science, serious subjects are what’s pulling me, for sure. Boring? I don’t think so.
Now, after I started working for Winol Winchester News Online I became a feature writer as well as being a member of the Production Team. My first feature is aimed at Freshers Fashion. I must say it has been so enjoyable. Researching ‘what’s in’ this term and meeting new students has been more fun than I expected. Some of the outfits were unbelievably interesting. Some of them were crazy, quite colourful, well coordinated and some were just grey and modest- however- very stylish. I can’t believe I have never paid attention to other people’s styles. This project definitely changed my opinion on fashion. I realised that there is more to it than just a shoe. An outfit can tell you everything about the personality and the mood people are in. It might be a beginning of my new passion.
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." Coco Chanel

Vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue
Go with the flow
Go with the flow
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music, hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow, you know, you can do it
Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It's everywhere that you go
You try everything you can to escape
The pain of life that you know
When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It's called a dance floor, and here's what it's for, so
Come on, vogue
Let your body move to the music, hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow, you know you can do it
All you need is your own imagination
So use it that's what it's for
Go inside, for your finest inspiration
Your dreams will open the door
It makes no difference if you're black or white
If you're a boy or a girl
If the music's pumping, it will give you new life
You're a superstar, yes, that's what you are, you know it
Come on, vogue
Let your body groove to the music, hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow, you know you can do it
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow, you know you can do it
Beauty's where you find it
Not just where you bump and grind it
Soul is in the musical
That's where I feel so beautiful
Magical, life's a ball
So get up on the dance floor
Come on, vogue
Let your body groove to the music, hey, hey, hey
Come on, vogue
Let your body go with the flow, you know you can do it
Vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue
A pose
A pose
Vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue
Beauty's where you find it
Move to the music
Vogue, vogue
Beauty's where you find it
Go with the flow
Greta Garbo and Monroe
Deitrich and DiMaggio
Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean
On the cover of a magazine
Grace Kelly, Harlow, Jean
Picture of a beauty queen
Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire
Ginger Rogers, dance on air
They had style, they had grace
Rita Hayworth gave good face
Lauren, Katherine, Lana too
Bette Davis, we love you
Ladies with an attitude
Fellows that were in the mood
Don't just stand there, let's get to it
Strike a pose, there's nothing to it
Vogue, vogue
Vogue, vogue
Let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Ooh, you've got to
Let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Ooh, you've got to
Let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body move to the music
Ooh, you've got to just
Let your body go with the flow
