Emo Clothing

Emo is just a word. It loosely describes a group of people that are inspired by music, have an alternative dress sense but cannot be called Goths or Punks. Emo is a new sub-culture of fashion & being that draws influence from predecessors' best bits whilst retaining its individuality. Usually it's only parents that mistake an 'Emu' for a Goth.

Emos are similar to punks in that they are not apologetic about dressing differently, although you're probably less likely to get headbutted for offending one. One aspect of Emo culture Sohos loves is the friendships between them and the way they appreciate one other. Whilst some peer groups condemn someone for daring to change or look different, Emo friends appreciate each other's efforts to look wicked. Emo can be casual but bright; with contrasting colours and prints like a Nu-Punk Contrast, or can be darker, smarter and more sophisticated but with an elaborate edge.

The people involved in it didn't wake up one morning and think 'I want to be an Emo'. Emo isn't any particular fashion trend; it can be everything and nothing - its an attitude. Sohos has tried to capture the Emo feeling in this page. Sohos respects Emos for having the confidence to be unique and take pride in looking remarkable whilst others are content to fade into the background as they are afraid to take the risks to stand out in the way that Emos do.

Taking risks isn't without its risks though, obviously, Emos are marked as targets of abuse for being different. Some people have to stereo-type things to understand them, others want to bring it down to its base level and others want to destroy what is different. That's human nature.

Our signature thumby tops are great emo wear, with the discreet thumbhole detail allowing you to wear the sleeves low on the hands. Team with a skinny jacket with coloured piping, or browse for emo hoodies. Check out our range of wide and narrow jeans and choose a bright colour for stand-out emo style or a darker shade for a more introspective feel.

1 Don't tell people that you're Emo, or they will call you a poser. If someone asks if you are Emo, deny it.
2 The majority of your friends and society in general will probably look down on you because of your style choice. If so, just ignore it or explain to them that it's just your style and it doesn't make you any less of a person. emo girl
3 Do not slit your wrists. People who do do this are most likely suffering from depression, and the habit should not be taken lightly. Whoever came up with the idea that all emos slit their wrists is a very close-minded person. Emos are emotional and are not afraid to share their pain and experiences. A lot of emos also may be uncomfortable with talking and thus resort to cutting to show their pain--this is NOT a trend, and depression is NOT an accessory.
4 Avoid scenes that promote pain or self-injury in general.

Boredom

So, I'm feeling really uninspired right now. I'm looking forward to the fashion weeks ahead , just so that I can obsess over Style.com and actually have something to write about...
I'm also finding it SO immensely difficult to secure myself an internship at a magazine over the summer... I have 3 months to give, I have e-mailed magazines I don't even read, several times over, and applied to some in writing also, but nothing! I know this industry in competitive but geez =/ I just want a placement so bad!
I know a lot of people who seem to have gotten PR internships fairly hassle free, so maybe I'll do that this summer if nothing else comes up. I check related threads on The Fashion Spot religiously, but most of them relate to New York-ers, as do the wesbites that advertise internships... does anyone know where I can find advertised internships in London? I'm yet to discover this source.
Sorry for the dull post, but I need advice! And uni has been shut alllll week due to the snow, and I'm just so immensely bored of not having anything to do/look forward to...
Promise to post something interesting in the next few days :) I'm working on it.

Look Fashion Swap - Freezing Toes

So, last Saturday a friend and I dropped off around 10 items off clothing/footwear that we no longer wanted. We gave some really nice stuff in, still in good condition. Basically, I could have sold it all on eBay and made around £50 for the lot...

Yesterday (and today) is when you go to the boutique on Broadwick Street, armed with the points you recieved based on what you gave in. I don't know why, but we never imagined there would be a queuing system, so that the store didn't get crammed and rowdy. There was. It was long. We queued for 1.5hours, until we were on the verge of tears with no feeling left in our toes, (as i say we were no prepared for this, so didnt dress appropriately to stand practically still for this amount of time on a very cold winters day).

When we finally were let into the store - it was a one-in-one-out system - we actually smiled/laughed/squeeled with joy using all the energy we had left in our bodies and scuffled into the store, which we imagined would be heated and heavenly. Not quite. We also expected to get armfuls of fabulous things in return that just weren't right for the previous owners anymore.

Again, disappointment. Imagine all the stuff in your mums closet that she's just kept hold of since the 90's but hasnt worn in over a decade. I think a lot of mums decided it was time for a clear out, and they chose the Look Fashion Swap as their location.



To sum up: I stood for 1.5 hours on a cold winters day dressed inappropriately, gave in really nice clothes that I could have many money from, only to find there was nothing even worth taking, as id just be armed with more stuff I'd never wear, and my clear out would have been pointless.

Moral of the story?



Never again. Next time, (NEXT TIME?!), I will stick with Oxfam/eBay.







Of course, while in London, we needed a little pick-me-up after this traumatic experience. Where better to go to Hummingbird Bakery in South Kensington? Although it was so busy that we were queuing outside, in the cold, again. This time it was worth it though...



I may have started off with three...
