I am spilling the tea on all things fashion, journalism and student lifestyle…

Heyyyy, it’s me. Sakina! The face behind the text. As a growing Fashion Journalist, it’s my job to be objective - but on this blog, I guess I can tell you a bit about myself..

My Background

I’m of Guadeloupean and Ghanian descent, but born and raised in the fashion capital known as London. My childhood consists of loose sheets full of dresses that I would sketch but never make, multiple attempts to become a model (I had to get over that one) and textiles - I guess you could say that I always knew I’d find myself in fashion.

My Journey

I’m currently a student in my final year of university studying Fashion Journalism and Content Creation at London College of Fashion. My hobbies include reading and writing and I love including fashion in both of those! I am currently a content creator for the London College of Fashion while also building my own social media presence on Instagram and TikTok (which you should totally check out! @its_moi_sakina )

As mentioned I journal about fashion -  but I’m quickly learning that that term is very broad. Do I know for sure what career pathway I will go down? No. But I am keeping an open mind and wearing rose tinted sunglasses to look at my future. So why not tag along my journey as a fashion student sailing the seas of runways, uni deadlines and what life will look like post graduation.

My Aspirations

As a writer and content creator, my goals are to use my perspective to shine light on what I believe is important and should be valued. I am a big advocate for championing the creative arts industry, of course with a focus in fashion. I see fashion in everyday and that’s why its important. I want to use my media to show fashion’s relevance in politics, economics, our global social landscape and so much more.
