1. Tell us about TWW
Today We Wore is a way for Abbie and I to show the latest styles and trends we love, and how we spend our free time to our Instagram and blog followers. It came about when we both decided we should join forces, as we both have differing styles yet have an overall love of fashion and wanted to share this with others.
2. How did your degrees influence and inspire you to create TWW?
My Fashion Communications degree has influenced TWW as I feel more informed on aspects of the best way to explore and photograph our outfits (and copious cups of coffee) whether this be on location or in the studio at LCA.
3. Was creating a fashion and lifestyle blog harder or easier than you expected?
The blog has been harder than I initially expected. Accumulating followers and building up a regular following base is the hardest factor I think. Regular blog posts come fairly easy as the two of us are never short of a new outfit or latest lunch venture.
4. Who are your favourite designers and fashion icons?
My favourite designer brands have to be Saint Laurent and Tom Ford, the elegance yet masculinity from both brands are something I love. A fashion icon for me ranges from Rosie Huntington-Whitely, her style is effortless and always looks chic, to Kendall Jenner and Victoria Beckham.
5. What bloggers inspire you the most?
Bloggers such as Task Oakley, of A Bikini a Day and RosieLondoner inspire me to create more exciting content for the blog, and of course to travel more!
6. How do you think the internet in particular the emergence of bloggers/ vloggers and apps have changed the fashion industry?
The emergence of bloggers and apps, such as Instagram, has made the industry more much accessible to most, whether this be viewing the latest happenings at London fashion Week to being recognised for the content on your blog/ Instagram and creating a career from this, which is so exciting and recognition from brands you wear or bloggers you follow is rewarding.
7. What does your perfect day in Leeds entail?
A perfect day in Leeds for me starts with breakfast at Angelica, followed by a quick stop along Briggate, visiting Harvey Nichols, The Kooples and Zara. Spending the afternoon at the Harvey Nichol’s terrace photographing everything along the way. A shoot in the studio late afternoon, and ending the day with dinner at Crafthouse. A lot of eating and drinking I have to admit!
8. How does working together work? Ever disagree?
The fact that Abbie and I have such differing styles of dress tends to mean we don’t disagree too much, as we know what we both like and respect that. Abbie tends to sway toward a more serious tone to a photograph, which I like too, however I also enjoy shooting and modelling in shots with more energy too.
9. What was your most popular blog/ insta post and why do you think this was the case?
Possibly the photo of Abbie and I on our trip in Paris. Flat lays do well, as do photos of food/ coffee. People want to aspire to eat nice foods and dress well, and so this may be the case for the likes, and of course not the mention the well taken photographs and choice of filter..!
10. Whats next for TWW and both of you individually?
I want to shoot more content for TWW and step out of our comfort zone – I think this will be exciting and could possible generate new followers. Personally, after uni is complete I want to travel to places I haven’t been to yet, I think this will be refreshing and exciting. After travels I want to look for internships possibly in Manchester or London.
