From UK Style Awards it was great to see how Brits are using Pinterest to curate their closet and plan their signature looks. Style is personal so Pinterest is just the place to “be yourself, not your selfie”. It’s less about runway trends and what the fashionistas are wearing, and more about finding ideas that work for you. In fact, the word “me” pops up in the Pin description a lot—someone found something that made them think “This is so me.”
As Charlie, Grazia’s Executive Fashion Editor so eloquently put it… ‘Individuality is the secret to great style, and British girls have it by the bucket load. They aren’t afraid of breaking the rules, trying new trends, mixing high with low and, above all, having fun with fashion – that’s what makes UK fashion so exciting!’
