Fashion and Football

by Liz Deep-Jones on 17 June 2010

I love flicking through fashion magazines and checking out the latest designs but more for observing the artistic style than something I’d choose to wear. I like to be comfortable and just hang out in jeans and t shirt … just like Lucy Zeezou, although I love dressing up for a big night out. That’s when I mostly opt for black, dressed up with my fave jewellery. Lucy has her pick of designers but I think that a lot of their clothing belongs on the catwalk and should stay there. There’s a Lucy Zeezou competition in this month’s Dolly and it’s funny because it takes me back to when I was a teenager. It was my favourite magazine when I was growing up and it’s where I used to source a lot of information about things that I couldn’t discuss with my Mum. Back then I admired the models and wanted to be just like them until I grew wiser and realised it wasn’t for me. I was more interested in playing tennis and hanging out at my local tennis centre with my friends which were all male. I realised that this mimic’s Lucy’s life although she has a passion for football. I followed football in my twenties as a journalist and my highlight was covering the 1998 World Cup in Paris. That’s where I experienced the perfect mix of fashion and football.

What’s your passion?
