About me
Hi! I’m Hon, a Creative Director & Fashion Stylist; who also dabbles in journalism, based in Manchester. I work across the creativity industry, impassioned in crafting detailed and enjoyable short articles, I explore fashion, music, culture and quite literally anything and everything creative.
Spanning myself across both fashion styling; particularly editorial styles, and fashion journalism, I created an online page in 2022 in which I share my written pieces. Named ONSETT, I encourage and embrace creativity through its literal meaning, referring to being ‘On Set’, I explore the work prior to the final product.
Recently showcasing my first self-published Zine at first Solo Exhibition this month, I have also worked for the likes of Hunger Magazine through my Fashion Styling career.
