Editor: Lucy Britnell
Hi, my name is Lucy, and I am Editor in Chief at Fashion North.
I am currently a third-year student at the University of Sunderland studying Fashion Journalism and have been; writing for the website since starting university. Fashion North has given me a platform to share my interest in fashion while progressing my writing ability. I have gained so much knowledge, confidence, and experience over the last two years and have enjoyed working with the team to produce amazing content suitable for our readers. I can’t wait to continue building on my passion together with an amazing creative team.
Deputy Editor: Faraday Gamble-Gittings
I’m Faraday Gamble-Gittings and, I’m the Deputy Editor of Fashion North.
Clothes and writing have always been my greatest passions, so much so that I moved 240 miles away from my parents just to study Fashion Journalism in Sunderland. My style can be quite eclectic but is often preppy or girly. I’ve always been interested in as well as an advocate for the wider impact of fashion on the political and social culture of a community or time.
Features Editor: Holly Ellis Allton
Hi, my name is Holly Allton and, I am the Features Editor. I’m a third-year Journalism student from South Shields. Since taking Fashion Journalism as an optional module for the past three years, my love and interest in the fashion industry have continued to grow. I decided to take on the role of Features Editor, as long-form pieces are my favourite to not only write but read too. I also feel that features are very broad and can be explored and written in lots of different ways. When it comes to the type of articles you can expect from me, I’m very passionate about celebrity culture, but I’m also very keen to create content based on affordability. I hope to take all of the skills I have learned in this role forward into my professional journalism career.
