My first experience of roller-skating was a somewhat rocky experience. As a gangly child with the tendency to bruise like a peach, I found myself unable to whizz off confidently like my more daring younger brother. Clinging to anything within reach for stability, it would be an understatement to say that I took my time....Read More
Having recently written two different articles for issue three of Semple magazine, one questioning the different ways that women dress when meeting men and the second focussing on how female musicians are marketed so differently to their male equivalents, it has been hard not to have music and dress on the mind. I’ve been considering...Read More
I was looking at MSL social media data recently and it revealed some interesting information. While MSL is female focussed that hasn’t stopped males from being strong followers of what we do.

We’ve all heard the rule before; if you can remember the trend from the first time around you are probably too old to work it now. This is bad news for us here at Semple because we can remember the nineties quite clearly and now they are back in a big way. So do we really...Read More
You could say that it all started with “Juno”. In 2007 Jason Reitman directed an off beat coming of age tale in which a dry witted, music loving teenager falls pregnant with her adorable but slightly hopeless boyfriend’s baby. Enter the need in our lives for quirky comedies about loveable characters that are usually younger...Read More

On Friday the 15th, it was time to go back to the graffitied walls of the 90’s where black spray paint dripped from the brickwork and fluorescent yellows, pinks and oranges lined the coats of the kids too cool for school....Read More
For someone who has hardly changed their personal style since the 1990’s, Gwen Stefani still seems to do no wrong when it comes to fashion. One might think that there are only so many ways to work platinum blonde hair, signature red lips and tartan or monochrome, but the singer-turned-designer always comes up with something...Read More
Designer collaborations. Never before have two words caused such conflicting opinions in the fashion industry. Whilst some see it in a positive light as it bridges the gap between couture and the high street, others view it negatively as a money making machine that produces poorly designed knock offs. Therefore, when Agyness Deyn’s second collection...Read More
The Boogaloo, on the corner of Archway Road High Gate, played host to Vintage Rocks last month. Models dressed in eclectic assortments of fashions from the 50s through to the 90s strutted their stuff on the catwalk and embodied each era with perfect ease.
