“I try to avoid fast fashion whenever I can. This vintage 70s coat is a £6 charity shop find, and I made these earrings myself from clay.”

“I like to clash different textures with the clothes that I wear because I think that can be as important as making sure that the colours of what you wear go together. Jewellery is quite a big thing for me, most of them are presents from my family. The rings that I am wearing were bought by my mum when she was on holiday in Rome, and my earrings were bought by my sister as a going-back-to-uni present this year.”

“My wardrobe is quite monochromatic, so I decided that I would match my black Chuck Taylors and black rucksack with a black and white Frida Kahlo t-shirt, which I picked up at Melrose Trading Post in LA after discovering my love for graphic tees. Then I just chose a pair of simple blue jeans to contrast with the otherwise all black ensemble.”

Support Varsity

Varsity is the independent newspaper for the University of Cambridge, established in its current form in 1947. In order to maintain our editorial independence, our print newspaper and news website receives no funding from the University of Cambridge or its constituent Colleges.

We are therefore almost entirely reliant on advertising for funding and we expect to have a tough few months and years ahead.

In spite of this situation, we are going to look at inventive ways to look at serving our readership with digital content and of course in print too!

Therefore we are asking our readers, if they wish, to make a donation from as little as £1, to help with our running costs. Many thanks, we hope you can help!
