Wellness Editor

Beth Morrell

Hi, I'm Beth. I'm 20, a Scorpio, from Durham. I'm in my third year at university studying fashion journalism. I'm the Wellness Editor and I will post all things fitness, wellness, and fashion. My main interests are weight lifting, running and I'm a huge foodie. My greatest achievement is that I ran the Great North Run 2023

Deputy Beauty Editor

Maddie Ciaraldi

Hi, I’m Maddy, Deputy beauty editor at Fashion North. I’m currently in my second year of my fashion journalism degree where I’ve gained lots of experience writing for Fashion North as well as using the platform to express my personal interest in fashion. I’ll be continuing to produce articles and create more beauty-related content on our social media.

Menswear Editor

Will Pollock

Hi, I'm Will and I'm a 19-year-old fashion journalism student in my second year from Scotland. My favourite designers are Rei Kawakubo and Rick Owens. I like clothing that doesn't take itself too seriously, having a uniform in your wardrobe and interesting textures/silhouettes. I don't like rehashing the same pieces every season without change, fast fashion, or obsession with functionality. I'm very excited to take on the role of menswear editor and am looking forward to the opportunity to show a side of fashion that isn't showcased as often on Fashion North.

Deputy Features Editor

Jessica Thompson

Hi, I'm Jessica and I'm a second-year journalism student currently taking the Fashion Newsday module, although I also took a fashion history module last year. My interest in fashion mainly revolves around fashion history and costumes in movies and TV shows. I also enjoy writing about my favourite celebrity looks.

Writer

Seohyun Kwun

Hello, my name is Seohyun Kwun, also known as Becky. I'm a 19-year-old fashion journalism student in my first year. My hometown is South Korea and I like trying out new places and cultures.

Writer

Kira Hunter

Hi, I'm Kira Hunter, 19, from West Yorkshire. I'm studying fashion journalism here at the University of Sunderland. I like anything pink, fashion publications, skincare/beauty, and writing. I dislike microtrends, the cold, greenwashing, and in-person shopping. I am looking forward to writing for Fashion North. Writing has been a passion of mine for years and incorporating it with my other love of fashion is such an exciting prospect! I can't wait to research and write about a number of different topics!
