DAN MARTIN | EDITOR IN CHIEF

Who am I? Well, I guess you want to know more. Here's a little insight into me, the blog and why I love creating and sharing my take on fashion and write for any and all fashion lovers out there. My name is Dan Martin and I started my blog back in December 2011, after creating a magazine cover for a college project whilst I was studying Art & Graphic Design.

From around the age of fifteen, I became obsessed with everything to do with fashion, from style to design, pattern cutting to photography. I'd buy Vogue and hide it under my bed so that my parents wouldn't find it (I was still in the closet in those days). A couple of months into a project for college, TREND was born as a small, fun, side project for me to work on in my spare time and I have loved writing, designing, creating editorial magazines covers and spreads, attending fashion events, interviewing people about their brands, meeting new people and hearing your stories about what fashion means to you. What do I love about fashion and why do I blog? I love seeing personal style, I love individuality, I love how clothes make you feel when you put them on, I love how they can tell a story about a person just by the way in which they wear them. Clothes can make you feel sexy, confident, individual, glamorous, comfortable or even chilled out, sometimes all at the same time.

But beyond that, I love and admire all forms of creativity. In my spare time, I'm constantly on the go (and I love it, I really can't sit still). I'm visiting art galleries and museums, on Pinterest and Instagram looking for inspiration, reading fashion magazines for important influential stories admiring the people that write them or playing video games and watching Netflix with my boyfriend whilst eating Chinese food and drinking wine (we all need some chill time, right?) Art, music, travel, history, photography, drawing, music are just some of my interests and hobbies, oh, and reading a good book (I mean who doesn't like getting lost in the words of a good book?) Professionally I work in the fashion industry these days and I'm so grateful for the opportunities that have been thrown my way. I've been able to build fashion websites, attend professional photoshoots and meet some incredibly talented people (soaking all that in to apply to my work is a dream). 

So there you have it, a little insight into me and the blog. If anything, I hope you go away with a smile, or maybe some inspiration after reading my posts, because if I can make one person smile or be inspired by my content and my blog posts then I will be, a very happy man indeed.
