Fashion - My Day as a Model By Annie Wykes Photos By Mo
	Right, well to start off, I'm not a model at all and was really nervous about doing this modelling for Bekki, a Second Year Fashion Journalism degree Student, who studies in Epsom but is actually from Hull. I've always wanted to be a model and today I had my chance to get some experience in a photo shoot and so I took it up. For around a week before the shoot I had to drink loads of water Read more...

Fashion - Out With the New, In With the Old By Bekki Stephenson
	The idea of wearing old clothing as new developed in the mid 1960s. The idea of mass production was wearing thin among the trendy youths and so they began to search for clothing that made them stand out from the crowd, scouring one-off boutiques, flea markets and thrift shops. As a reaction to this newly acquired vintage vogue the 1970s became the era of the Read more...

Fashion - An Interview With Cherona Blacksell, Fashion Designer By Bekki Stephenson
	It is often a false preconception that coming from Hull makes things slightly more difficult, opportunity wise, to get into the fashion industry. This has always angered me. Granted, Hull is not the trendiest of fashion hotspots about, but as I hope ThisisUll's fashion pages are proving, there is certainly a lot more out there than meets the eye. So in an eager hope to promote Read more...

Fashion - Living With... Large Thighs By Jo Allison
	As summer shines upon us, I breathe a sigh, and not one of relief; tights are officially over. For another season I must succumb the general public to my wobbling white flesh, nylon coverings are just far too warm. As a baby, I was evidently very well fed, as they say breast is best, and as a result, I grew alarmingly large as a child. Looking back at old primary school Read more...

Fashion - Punk; Thirty Years On By Bekki Stephenson
	Thirty years ago, gig tickets cost 50p, a pint of beer 15p and 20 cigarettes 30p. There were only three television channels, all of which shut down at midnight and the greatest fashion accessories were 4-inch, break-your-neck platforms. Indeed, in 1976 the world of iPods, satellite navigation, X boxes, and video phones seemed almost impossible. Perhaps not half Read more...

Fashion - A Voyage of Vintage Discovery In Hull By Jo Allison
	The world's fashion capitals have never to my knowledge once included the lovely English northern city of Hull, but perhaps this is about to change.

Fashion - Platform News By Bekki Stephenson
	From disco-inspired, glittering soles to five-inch wooden heels, platform shoes are destined to get you noticed. It is no surprise then that they were all over the catwalk this season.

Fashion - Fur Goodness Sake By Bekki Stephenson
	Supermodel Elle McPherson has backed out of a £1 million contract with luxury fur company Blackglama over fears that she will be targeted by anti-fur extremists. But should we really ban fur?
