Meet the Fashion North 2020/2021 team!

I’m Lucy Britnell and I am Deputy Editor of Fashion North.

From a young age my main interest has always been fashion. From the age of 11, when starting secondary school my main ambition was to go onto being a fashion journalist.  Fashion North has allowed me to progress my writing ability as well as grow my love for fashion, and as Deputy Editor I want to gain more skills about working at a real fashion publication.

SOCIAL MEDIA EDITOR: BECCA REDFORD

Hi, I’m Becca and I am a 21-year old Fashion Journalism student at the University of Sunderland.

I am currently in my final year of studies and I have recently become the social media editor for Fashion North. I currently live in Newcastle but I am hoping to move to Manchester or London once I graduate to focus on a career in social media and freelance journalism.

TRENDS EDITOR: EVE FRANKLIN

Hi, my name is Eve and I am the Trends Editor for Fashion North.

I’m in my third and final year of my fashion journalism degree and I am from a small town in Cumbria called Barrow. I love writing about anything relating to fashion and beauty, whether it’s an easy-to-read get the look, or a hard-hitting feature about issues within the industry. The main reason why I chose to study Fashion Journalism at Sunderland is because of the Fashion North website. It’s great to be able to have a go at writing different kinds of articles and be able to showcase your work online for everyone to see!

FEATURES EDITOR: YASMIN DEFTY

Hi, my name is Yasmin and I’m the features editor at Fashion North.

I’m in my third year here at Sunderland University, studying fashion journalism. I enjoy writing and fashion, so combining the two is perfect for me. I love shopping and I probably do it far too much; Zara, ASOS and Feel Unique are my favourites. I couldn’t live without perfume, jewellery and coffee.

DEPUTY FEATURES EDITOR: HOLLY ALLTON 

Hi, my name is Holly Allton and I’m Deputy Features Editor at Fashion North.

I am a second year Journalism student from South Shields.  I decided to take Fashion Journalism as an optional module last year and since then my excitement and love for the fashion industry and writing for it, has grown so much. I decided to take on the role as Deputy Features Editor as features have always intrigued me, and I find reading and writing them to be an enjoyable experience.  I love to create content based on affordability as that is something I also look for, from piecing together vintage pre-loved clothes or buying high street make-up – Revolution is my fave!  I am so happy that Fashion North have given me this platform to use as a creative outlet and a way of learning new skills too.  As a 25 year old mature student, I worried that I would struggle at university after being out of education for so long, but I feel I have found my feet quite easily due to the help and opportunities University of Sunderland and all of it’s Journalism departments have offered me.

BEAUTY EDITOR: SORINA MIHAILA 

Hi! My name is Sorina Mihaila.

I am the beauty editor for Fashion North and I study journalism at Sunderland University. I love writing and inspiring people and I have always been fascinated by the beauty world. However, I have never seen it as a superficial interest. You can love both makeup and literature.
