The 1975's biggest fan and an influencer among Manchester's most stylish we spotted this week
Football fan and vintage enthusiast Melissa Johnson, who cohosts the podcast Wise Men Say, told me how she loves vintage clothes because she's fascinated by the story behind them - and I love Steal Their Style for exactly the same reason. It's so interesting to me to discover what people do for a living, or their hobbies and interests, and how that might be reflected in the way they dress.
And, with shops like Cow, Blue Rinse and Oxfam Originals on our doorstep, you don't have to look far to find a fun, affordable and environmentally conscious outfit in Manchester. She paired the look with a £6 Primark beret and Tatty Devine scarf, adding: “I love a good pattern. I am a full time shoe designer so I’m looking at clothes all day long. I’d say I don’t really stick to brands but I must secretly do, as I love Lazy Oaf and bright colours.”
“I used to wear my nan's old fur coats from the attic and my grandad's old donkey jackets from working on the ships.” She added: “I love a 1940s style, I love the excitement of trying to treasure trove and I don't mind reproduction as there are so many good brands out there doing it. I wear 1930s to 1950s, some days I like a land girl or rockabilly look but other days I love a 40s wartime style.”Lauren Hague Lauren Hague was heading home from a night in Leeds where she’d just been to see Manchester rockers The 1975 for the third time in a week.
Lauren had worn a Motel Rocks jacket, purchased second-hand on Vinted for £15, with a Zara skirt for £25, and a Bershka blazer, bought for £20 on Vinted, complete with a pair of Dr Martens. Luke wore an ASOS coat for which he paid £60 in the sale, along with a blanket scarf from Zara man, a green colour matched hoodie and Nasty Gal jeans, with his ‘trusty’ Buffalo trainers.
