Lockdown Think Piece

I’ve come to realise now that I haven’t so much been experiencing grief with each lockdown but rather heartbreak. I’ve broken up with my future visions of what I thought my near future would look like.

WHY I CUT MYSELF SOME BANGING BANGS IN ISO

I'm saying this to you because I am well qualified in the art of completing ‘unofficial rite of passages’ according to Google. A fringe being one of them, because I have had a fringe not once, not twice but three times…..each time I pleaded with myself that I would never cut a fringe again but here I am, in ISO, sitting on my bathroom floor, 78 hours after cutting the third fringe of my life.

10 things to do in ISO

At the moment my favourite hobby is eating. Mostly eating out of boredom to distance myself from the fact that I haven’t left my house in 20 days but also because I’m Italian born, and gosh I love a good meal. My most fond memories from my childhood are sitting on the counter in my Nonna’s house and making pasta from scratch.

As per usual the general style of attendees was a delightful pic-n-mix array ranging from chic tailored ensembles to loud print clashes.

IS MENDING CLOTHES THE NEW BOOKCLUB?

With the hashtag #visablemending boasting a remarkable 59.1K posts, it’s clearly not a fad, nor a nanna’s pasttime anymore. In Britian alone, close to half a million people have been reported to have taken up mending due to concerns for the environment and the recession (Guardian, 2020). Not only is this trend helping salvage clothes that have been deemed unfit, but it’s also changing the stigma around pre-loved clothes whilst preserving the precious resources used to create all of the garments in the first place.

AUSTRALIA UP IN FLAMES.

Our forests are burning throughout three states at this current moment, despite the countless hours, days, weeks that firefighters have been heroically battling the tenacious beast. At this current moment more than 5 million hectares of land has been burnt which is horrific in comparison to the 900 hectares in the Amazon fires. And yet some people still believe that there is no connection between the fires and climate change. Our emissions rates have also skyrocketed as a result of these fires, having burned through two thirds of our yearly allowance in the last few months alone.

NEW BRAND FEATURE: TRACE COLLECTIVE

Trace aren’t about trends, but rather pave the way for their own aesthetic, yet are on trend with one of their business pillars of being transparent. Something our new Gen-Z demographic (well all people really) greatly appreciate.
