About me

23 year old foreign languages (French & Russian) graduate. Currently working in fashion media for two publications: MAEKAN (based in Hong Kong) and OPUMO (based in London) on a freelance/internship basis. I am particularly interested in exploring fashion as a signifier of broader cultural movements, for example my dissertation on 'The Rise of the Tracksuit Through the Fall of the Soviet Union'.
