We took to the streets to find a couple of mighty fine fashionistas...
“I want to showcase individuality. My hair’s been every colour under the sun; I started out with purple, then pink, then I found this blue and loved it. I get lots of comments about it, which I like, but it annoys my husband when people stop their cars and shout out to me. As a female manager working in the retail industry, it’s important that I show that I care about grooming, especially when you work in a male-dominated world.
My life mantra is to support other women. I’ve got a three-year-old daughter and I worry about females in this society. Since having my daughter, I’ve been trying to make sure the world’s a better place for her, more so than ever. Female empowerment is really important, so I do quite a lot through my work to encourage that. When you’ve got a female management team, it’s important to show that you’re working together rather than against each other, where it can become quite competitive. It’s just about trying to create a support network.”

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
