In this first of a two-part special, I share my journey into the fashion industry, how becoming a mum pushed me to find my identity beyond parenting, and how that led me into design, styling, production, and eventually hosting this podcast.

From my early days creating children’s clothing on Instagram, to studying fashion at UCA, becoming a Dazed finalist, working backstage at London Fashion Weeks, and freelancing across styling and production, this episode is all about the highs, lows, and lessons of finding my place in fashion.

Next week, in Part 2, I’ll share the other side of the story, my history with sex and why I bring both worlds together on Fashion Is My Foreplay.

In this episode of Fashion Is My Foreplay, I sit down with my mum for an unfiltered conversation about sex-positive parenting and what it means to raise five daughters with honesty, openness, and without shame.

We talk about her own childhood, teaching without judgement, navigating slut shaming, body confidence, eating disorders, and the challenges of generational cycles around food and image. We also dive into the male gaze, teenage rebellion, and how dress and identity become a form of expression.

This one’s raw, real, and deeply personal, exploring how parenting shapes confidence, sexuality, and the way we see ourselves.

⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussions of homophobia, sexual assault, abortion, eating disorders, and porn.

In this episode of Fashion Is My Foreplay, I sit down with Zorana Dawn (@zoranadawnart) a Brighton-based burlesque and drag performer, character artist, and fashion chameleon.

Originally from Serbia, Zorana’s world is filled with colour, pattern, self-expression, and unapologetic confidence. We talk about:
✨ Fashion as performance, from the stage to the bedroom
✨ Burlesque, drag, body glitter, and a wardrobe full of jumpsuits
✨ The fetishisation and dangers trans women face in dating and hookups
✨ How transition changed her body, sex life, and self-acceptance
✨ Why self-love, lingerie, and touch are central to her life and relationships

Zorana’s story is bold, honest, and glitter-covered, just like her.

In this episode of Fashion Is My Foreplay, I sit down with Rebecca, the face behind Vixn. A bold, Brighton-based activewear brand that’s about more than just leggings.

We dive into gym fitness and body confidence, the power of pole, and how dopamine dressing can transform not only how you look, but how you show up for yourself. Rebecca talks about confidence in the gym setting, from feeling strong to feeling sexy, and how the right clothes can enhance your training, boost your mood, and make you walk in with your head higher.

She also shares her vision for Vixn, what’s next for the brand, and the realities of building a business in the activewear space.

This one’s about sweat, style, and unapologetic self-belief.
