St. Stephens Summer Style Tour
|
St Stephen's Summer Style Tour kicked off a month of events on Friday 8th August.
If your Summer is a bit more sad than smiley, take yourself down to
St Stephen's and see if the sun shines through.
Along with the Summer Style Tour, St Stephen's are running a
Random Acts of Kindness month.
|
|
If you are approached by a member of St Stephen's staff, make friends, not enemies as you may be in with a chance of receiving a Random Act of Kindness. St Stephen's have dug deep to kindly donate various items to be given away, ranging from lolly pops to vouchers.
As well as the Random Acts of Kindness there is also the opportunity
to be crowned St Stephen's Summer Style Tour's Fashionista of the Season
plus amazing style prizes up for grabs in the Free Prize Draw, worth over £1,000,
and dinner for two at the mouth-watering Italian Restaurant Prezzo.
|
|
Following a great start at St Stephen's, the Tour has been gaining momentum.
The Summer Style Tour rubbed shoulders with the lovely ladies at Beverley
Racecourse on Ladies' Day, self esteem skyrocketed at Scunthorpe and finished
at Tribfest at the Driffield Showground on Friday.
From rock chic to retro, florals to flower power the Summer Style Tour Team approached everyone from leggy lovelies to gorgeous grandmas and boosted confidence and charisma with just a few choice beauty tips.

Picking a weekly style icon worthy of the catwalk,
Larrisa Higgins from Willerby was the first to be crowned the
Fashionista of the Week by the St Stephen's Summer Style Tour Team.
The second week's icon was Daniel Whittleton.
Each of the lucky weekly winners go through to the final for a chance to be
crowned the St Stephen's Summer Style Tour Fashionista of the Season,
and the opportunity to take home a gorgeous new season outfit, worth over £150,
courtesy of Next.
To be in the running to become next week's winning Fashionista, simply make sure
you dress to impress and get yourself in the right place at the right time to
meet the Summer Style Tour Team.

Fashion - Dressed up to the "K" nines By Jo Allison

It might not be over the top as L.A. or be home to the ludicrously lavish lifestyles of Paris Hilton, but Beverley can proudly boast that it's home to some wonderfully, well-dressed dogs. Just take a look inside the wonderfully doggy dressing up box, situated down Lairgate, Beverley. The Dog Shop is the fashionable dog owner's best-friend.

|
|
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

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

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

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

Fashion - Boys Catch The Beauty Bug By Bekki Stephenson

Gone are the days when men got home from work, gave themselves a quick dousing with
soap and water only to appear in the local five minutes later.
Today, as the male population thrust themselves into the 21st century a seemingly
more rigorous hygiene routine is in place.
It is not just systematic personal hygiene that is top priority in the noughties

Fashion - Hulls Next Top Model? Well, Perhaps Not ... By Jo Allison

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

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.
Hull, not notorious for its fashion sense (unless you are a fan of extensive
gold jewellery, tracksuits with the obligatory tucked in socks or small scraps
of brightly coloured lycra masquerading as tops) has always had a underground

A little shop of heaven, just down Newland Ave.
Jo had been traipsing around Hull for three hours and rummaged through just about every
clothing rail in Hull.
She had a big night out coming up that weekend and needed that elusive fashionista party dress.
The only problem was she really couldn't find a thing.
She dreamed of looking like a model,

Fashion - If You Haven't Got it, Flaunt It By Jo Allison

David Bailey's most recent project, Democracy, takes a frank, naked view of the real human body. Just what we need in our aesthetically obsessed society.
For too long now skinny has been beautiful, airbrushing a prerequisite.
The fashion world is perhaps one of the worst culprits for warping our perception
of the human body, but the latest offering from

Lost your patriotic sense of what it means to be British? Do not despair.
As Gordon Brown urges us to celebrate Britain, Jo Allison re-introduces us to our classically cool English Heritage, from traditional tea to quaint seaside holidays.

But should we really ban fur? Or are we being manipulated by anti-fur movements?
I like fur. I don't wear it very often, partly due to the unforgiving looks of
