Getting inspired without pinterest


“This year, I’m prioritising consuming media more intently, especially when looking for inspiration. I love hunting for niche references that are made by artists from the current zeitgeist. Also learning how to critically look at images more; what do I like about this photo? - the composition, the choice of colours, specific styling choices, makeup choices and art direction.

My friends always say I have the best references and it got into my head so I’m finally ungatekeeping my favourite independent magazines and show my recent favourite editorials! (I never usually do this, I hope you feel blessed)” - on Substack
