“We’ve admired Laura’s work for a while now. The essay on What We Wore focusses on exactly the kind of characters that inhabit Laura’s world. We could imagine her bringing to life the bedroom scenarios where teenagers test out different styles and personalities through the various decades referenced in the essay. Her attention to detail was really key in bringing out the nuances of each era – the pop icon references of the 80s, the label obsessions of 90s UK Garage etc. We also wanted the piece to have a real colour and vibrancy to it which Laura’s work has definitely brought.”

From the 1970s right up to generation YouTube, Laura’s work manages to capture each decade’s look and feel in evocative and atmospheric ways.
