Written by

Priya was born in Leicester to a Keralan family and grew up between two cultures without ever feeling pulled apart by them. She studied fashion communication in Nottingham and began her career writing for an independent style blog before contributing to several print and online publications. Her work sits at the intersection of fashion and identity — she is particularly drawn to independent British designers, vintage markets and the way personal style tells a story. She lives in East London, cycles everywhere and has an enviable collection of secondhand coats.
