Aside from the usual given and formatted content for COMPANY online, I was able to write my own article and had some free reign! It was cool maaan. I started by brainstorming some article ideas from fashion to music to travel to food and this one got approved. Alexxsia Elizabeth (fashion features writer) was my senior on this task. Albeit it was subbed and edited, I still got my name published and was able to whack in some backbone with high street fashion research and links to brands with this one, to push both COMPANY traffic and clothing brand recognition. WIN.
I chose yellow because I have a very large (and growing) soft spot for this colour. Sometimes it can be so tricky to fashion it without looking like a plonka or drowning yourself out, so I gave it a bash. I didn’t chose the quite frankly grotesque shoes featured here as it was subbed, but I did the other four.
Anyway, it was fun and I was chuffed. If I had been with COMPANY longer I would have had the chance to produce some more content, but this was a start! (After my first few days as well. * victory dance *)
