TRIP TO SHU.
On Wednesday 19th October we visited Sheffield Hallam University to engage in a portfolio building course.
Before this trip I hadn’t really considered SHU as one of my options for university. However, they blew me away with the work students were producing and I just fell in love with the vibe of the university. The tutor was so welcoming and extremely knowledgeable I could tell he was passionate about the subject, which is obviously something you want from a tutor.
I then learnt that they offer the course I want to do, fashion communications and management. Paul Luke explained that all of the projects are live projects meaning I wouldn’t really have to do a placement year, this would be ideal for me. I am now seriously considering going to SHU and have booked a separate open day on the 6th November so I can find out even more before I make the decision.

SERENA WILLIAMS TALKS BODY POSITIVITY.
Tennis star Serena Williams told online magazine BleachReport; "I don't touch a weight, because I'm already super fit and super cut, and if I even look at weights, I get bigger. For years I've only done Thera-bands and things like that, because that's kind of how I felt. But then I realised that you really have to learn to accept who you are and love who you are. I'm really happy with my body type, and I am really proud of it. Obviously it works out for me. I talk about it all the time, how it was uncomfortable for someone like me to be in my body."
There has been many incidents in the sports industry where judge panels or just the general audience have called out women athletes for having 'masculine' like bodies. Tis is so wrong, they want women to perform but don't want them to do things like weights etc. The whole industry in my opinion is really toxic especially with body image and not to single out men but women do face it the most. Serena wants to make a change and she inspires so many other people to just love the skin that they are in and not listen to the critiques.

THE QUESTION OF RACE IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
@kohhleone. (Unknown). Girl Power. [Online]. Pinterest. Last Updated: Unknown. Available at: https://pin.it/311T7kM [Accessed 6 September 2022].
Over the past couple of years conversations surrounding diversity and inclusivity have flagged up more often. Geopolitical issues and social movements including the Black Lives Matter, Pride month and Black History month amongst many other conversations, have all gained the attention of the fashion industry.
Now, more than ever brands are looking to celebrate the diversity of the world that we live in today.
In a British Vogue interview with Virgil Abloh creative director of Louis Vuitton, who sadly passed away last year, Virgil went so far as to say that fashions problem is, 'so systemic and deep that it can't even look at itself when it represents itself.' In other words the lack of inclusivity within the fashion industry has become so deep rooted that it is invisible within the industry.
However despite all of the issues in the fashion industry regarding race, fashion is making progress to level the playing field when it comes to race. Projects such as 'Good On You' and 'Labour Behind he Label' are raising awareness on workers' rights around the world, helping to stop unfair traders and sweatshops.
We are also now seeing a 2% increase in models of colour on key catwalks around the world. Is this good enough? NO. Can we do better? YES. In my opinion this shouldn't even be up for discussion. Just because fashion brands are adding a few more models of colour does not mean that they are inclusive. In the western world the prevailing beauty standards is still a white one. There are so many other points that could be made but I think one of the biggest points is the following.
Teach more about inclusivity in schools. You are not born racist you are taught it. We need more life lessons on different cultures from around the world etc. This isn't just an issue in the fashion industry this is a worldwide issue.
