Becky Shepherd
Becky Shepherd has recently graduated from The University for the Creative Arts with a degree, in Fashion Journalism. For the last three years she has put blood sweat and tears (quite literally) into internships at Vogue India, Easy Living, The Times, Matches and assisted freelance stylists. Her highlight of 2010 was lying in the sun at the Isle of Wight Festival with a pint of cider, watching Crowded House with her best friends. She loves words and ideas. Her favourite fashion designer is Peter Jensen. She has a mild but very real crush on Salman Rushdie. Becky is happiest writing about inspiring people. This year, so far her hair has been 5 different colours. North, South, East or West? The deep south. High Class or Common or Garden? Common or Garden. Clothes or Culture? Clothes are a part of culture! My best night out ever made me feel.... like I could fly.
