My passion for raw denim and quality clothing led me to join Heddels in 2016 and I became the features editor in 2019. I am a fan of all things Japanese, but especially the country's take on Americana clothing - from early workwear to mid-century sportswear and beyond. Based in the U.K., when not writing for Heddels i'm making music, walking my Bichon Frise, or drinking way too much coffee in an overpriced coffee shop.
