Deana is an aspiring costume designer currently going into her final year in IADT, originally from Wicklow but based in Dublin, she has a passion for sustainable fashion and incorporates that at the core of her work. 
Deana developed alopecia around the age of 14 and from that began her own personal journey with hair loss. Through this she experienced her own battles with "insecurities" and "body image issues" and it took her  a long time to overcome her mindset at that difficult time and embrace her own natural beauty.
Deana's goal is to promote and normalise the beauty of alopecia and all non conforming beauty to show that beauty has no limitations and there is not one set standard.
Thank you to Depop for facilitating these brilliant conversations. My depop shop of the week this week is Deana's recommendation: @essiistore for incredible vintage and re worked clothing with streetwear labels for a fraction of the price than the high street.

I hope everyone is having a lovely xmas. Today's podcast hosts one of my favourite people in the world, my friend and fashion photographer Eoin Greally. At only 20 Eoin has worked with Brown Thomas among other Irish brands and has had his work featured in Harpers Bazaar Arabia, Scone Magazine, The Irish Times and many more. 
From a rural community, we discuss how Eoin discovered his interests in photography through finding a niche online community that had "Top Model" photography competitions with Bratz. Finally, moving up to Dublin to study photography in DIT, he left after one year ( like someone else I know) after interning in Not Another Agency and deciding to go out and do his own thing.
This podcast is fun and light hearted because me and Eoin have stupid senses of humour. Thankful to have a friend like him in my life.

XMAS SPECIAL: Fashion Photographer Eoin Greally

In this episode I have the flu, and I'm sorry about that. However following the devastating fire in a factory in New Delhi I was inspired to speak out on where the ethics of fashion influencing starts and ends.
I highly recommend you read this article in relation to the podcast: https://www.ft.com/content/e427327e-5892-11e8-b8b2-d6ceb45fa9d0

Where is Fashion's Social Responsibility

This week I asked my friend, photographer and graduate Julia Godfrey, to come and dissect the quarter life crisis. I asked on my Instagram stories what we were all finding difficult and challenging in our early twenties and you answered. It's Important to note that so many of the answers were so similar, you're not alone.
Check out Julias incredible work on Instagram @juliagod.
Thank you to Depop for helping students and young people develop a creative career with your support, including this podcast. My Depop shop of the week is @racunvintage for crewnecks to die for.

Dissecting the early 20s with Julia Godfrey

Today I am joined by the stunningly beautiful model and leaving cert student, Halle Steele. I asked Halle to come on my podcast because she exuded a confidence at such a young age, but what I didn't know was that this wasn't always the case.
Halle was debilitated with anxiety surrounding her looks as a young girl, which caused her to miss school and struggle with severe social anxiety. Upon finding Ashley Graham, she decided that she couldn't keep being so hard on herself, and started to use one simple trick she found on Ashley's Instagram.
Now, Halle is represented by NotAnotherAgency and can be seen in nation wide fashion campaigns. We talk about what it's like to grow up with that awareness of your body and what self love really means.

Halle Steele on Growing Up Body Conscious

Oyindamola aka oyinza aka zeda is a freelance stylist, costume designer, shoot and event producer, director and budding film photographer. A lot of roles, yes but in her industry, you really have to become a jack of all trades. Now 23, she started her path in fashion at 17 working on fashions shows for charities, brands and college societies. Over her young career, she has been lucky to work with organisations such as Nigerian Carnival Ireland and Dublin City Council where she was able to style and produce big-scale shows attended by diverse audiences. She has also been tapped for styling by artists such as Aimée, Super Silly, Jafaris, Soulé and Zali amongst others for shows and shoots.
Apart from her work, her whole schtick is all about being authentically YOU every chance you get, in the way you speak, the way you dress and the way you exist.
At the end of this podcast we literally lose our mind. You have been warned.
Thank you DEPOP for being the best sponsor imaginable. Oyin chose the shop of the week this week and I do not understand how I didn't know about this page before @darkparadisevintage for curated Trailer Trash Chic.
