Part Two | Sub Culture Blog

I actually found writing this blog post quite difficult, as I feel that I can't really situate myself into a particular subculture because of how much I love various fashion subcultures. I would describe my style as being a mix of everything on some days I may be feeling very feminine and decide to wear floral prints and bright neon’s whereas on a another day I may feel the total opposite and wear a more 90’s grunge/androgynous outfit. I think that’s what I like most about my style, the fact that I don’t limit myself to stick to one particular subculture because after a while it does get pretty boring wearing black and white the whole week in order to still be within the ‘Minimalist’ subculture. For me, when it comes to fashion I draw inspiration from the music I listen to, artwork I like, my environment and my family and friends. I also take inspiration from celebrities and the latest trends on the catwalks and turn them around to fit my style and what I like. I am deciding to call my subculture – ‘The Mixers’ to be honest I think this is the best way to describe my subculture as I pick and choose different aspects from different subcultures. I think celebrities that would fit in the ‘Mixers’ subculture would include Rita Ora, Solange Knowles, Miley Cyrus, Kourtney Kardashian, Nicola Roberts and Kelly Osbourne. For me I think the ‘Mixers’ subculture is all about fusing elements of different styles and bringing them together to form something different and something that perhaps gets you thinking whether or not it is fashionable. 


I love how Kelly's style has evolved over the years, from her punk rock phase to her now elegant and feminity style with a hint of edge.

Out of all the Kardashians, Kourtney has to be the one whose wardrobe I would love to raid! I love seeing what Kourtney is going to wear next whether it be a very tailored pant suit or a flowy boho maxi dress. She always looks amazing and mixes different styles together very well!

I think Nicola Roberts has really come in her own with her style ever since Girls Aloud broke up. I love the fact that she is bold and risky with her choices! She mixes androgyny and girly pieces very well.

With her style being pretty much bohemian, I love how Nicole Richie adds a grungy/ rock – chic to her bohemian edgy style.

I really like how daring Rita Ora is with her with her fashion choices. Although her fashion choices aren't always my cup of tea - like Kourtney Kardashian; I'm always on edge to see what she wears next! Similarly Miley Cyrus fuses urban, androgyny, edgy and feminine elements together.

I actually don't think there are enough words to describe my love for Solange's style. Her effortless, extremely eccentric and daring style just blows my mind! I love how she manages to pull off everything she wears effortlessly.

I love how Miley in cooperates urban and grunge influences into her style. I think her style is very on trend right now, I  like how she feminizes some of her outfits, for instance by wearing a baseball jersey but pairing it with a pair of chic high stilettos.
