Low-Waisted Trousers, Reality TV & Reinventing Yourself | Ruben (Part 2)

Part 2 with Ruben is here 💚

In this episode of Fashion Is My Foreplay, we move beyond building sites and Berlin clubs and dive into:

• Shopping almost exclusively in charity shops
• Why making your own clothes changes how you shop
• Falling out of love with creativity (and how to stay in love with it)
• Sharing vulnerability online
• Body image, insecurity & confidence
• Going on I Kissed A Boy and being perceived by the public
• What reality TV teaches you about yourself
• Dressing for confidence (low-waisted trousers supremacy)
• Everything showers to set you up for a good day/night

We talk about being “perceived,” queer representation, platform vs identity, and what it really means to reinvent yourself publicly.

This is the softer, more reflective half of our conversation, and honestly one of my favourites.
