First and foremost I would like to introduce myself. My name is Manisha Pannu and I am a fashion student at Nottingham Trent University studying Fashion, Communication and Promotion!
Let me tell you one thing, Trent has style!
Our first task given by our tutors as a somewhat ice breaker and a way to get familiar with our peers was to undertake a street style task. We had to go around Nottingham and search for the hottest trends but not in shops or stores, but on the STREETS! Teamed up in groups of 4 or 5, we roamed the streets of Nottingham searching for what we thought was unique, who we thought had flare and a definite abstract style! Take a look at what we found!

| When in doubt - CHECK! Here's a guy we saw going for a cheeky shop outside Victoria Centre in Nottingham rocking the check print which has suddenly rocketed to all the high street brands! Check out tartan and check prints in the upcoming months, its definitely a trend worth looking out for :D |
After this street style task, I have a new found love for knee-high socks! The school girl look definitely stood out to me and it was surprising how many people I noticed after seeing this girl rocking the knee high sock trend! The red bag complimented the outfit perfectly and matched the socks which brought the whole outfit together. Definitely one of my fave accessories of the day!
Hippie Fashion was ruling the streets of Nottingham!! Here's a few snaps below of my faves...
How to get inspired?
Some of you aspiring fashion students may be wondering, what inspires you to notice these particular people?
Prior to doing the task, me and my peers were taken to the cinema to watch a documented film on the life of
***Bill Cunningham***
Check out the movie trailer, definitely worth the watch if your lacking inspiration or even if your interested in the fashion industry!
The feelings i gained from this movie was full motivation to be able to succeed in anything. It made me want to go on the streets and find unusual trends out there which could predict trends for the near future or just say something about a certain individual. It viewed fashion as an artform which it is and how it expressed individuals. The respect that Bill Cunningham had from his peers and fashion icons was inspirational and is what made me enjoy the street style task even more!
Thanks for checking out my first post and I hope you keep checking out my life as a fashion student!
