Indie V High street

Introducing Sam.

She’s a totes inspiro-a-go-go girl who is rockin’ myspace with all her sparkly-gorgeous fabulousness.

In her words: “…I like to smile & rant a lot, make up words & try to do accents. I embarrass myself 50% of the time and spend the other 50% laughing at myself Sometimes I have good ideas. Occasionally. I don’t like it when people pronounce words wrong like ‘wool’ pronounced as ‘wall’ etc. heads up. I’m normally quite chirpy and I like patterned bags. I also wear oversized ray bans 8D.
I should have been born in the 40’s…”

Don’t you just love her?
She wrote this too-cool-for-school feature ’bout indie creatives - I’m diggin’ it, think you will too.

I heart creativity.

I love that there are independent designers creating what they want and what they are passionate about. I like that everything is unique and one of a kind and that each item is created from their own imagination and artistic influences.

Yesterday, I went into college and there was at least six other people wearing the same outfit as me! I love being unique and I hate the fact that everyone is walking around looking like Topshop has sneezed on them! : )

I like one off designs which have been thought, designed and created with care. My favourite site is heidiseeker.com, its quirky, original and cool crisp designs are one of a kind and fun.

I also love ladyluckrulesok.com because it is just ace

Who wants to look like everybody else? People have their own unique, personal style and need to show it! Creating things to wear is cool. Fact.

Go to Primark and customise a cheap top its really easy, or I suggest going to Ikea (cos they sell really cool fabric) and making a tote bag : )
It’s a cool feeling knowing that you’ve made something! I’m not saying that there is anything wrong with New Look or Topshop, I just think that people should have a go at being more creative and expressive and should support independent designers who have put so much time and effort into their unique creations.

I love originality and grassroots creativity I love being different and original and people shouldn’t be afraid to be unique : ) So here are some ace designers who I love and it would be cool if you checked them out…
