Preppy uniforms, band Ts, combat trousers, Japanese prints — you name it, Susie Lau (@susiebubble) has worn it. “What phase haven’t I gone through?” says the London born-and-raised fashion blogger. “My interest in fashion really started when I was growing up in Camden, seeing how people expressed themselves through clothing,” she says. “I approached it in a really geeky way, reading up about costume and fashion history in the library and buying magazines, cutting things out to make inspiration collages. It was a form of escape.”

When she began her blog, Style Bubble, in 2006, Susie’s only intention was to keep it as her own personal hobby. “When I first started, it very much felt like I was an interloper, especially in fashion, which has always been so guarded and exclusive as an industry,” she says. But as the age of social media dawned, Susie’s blog remained at the forefront of the fashion world. “A decade on, fashion blogging has become an industry in itself,” says Susie. “It’s been good to witness that change gradually, and to know what my own niche is — which is namely discovering young talent.”

Despite the commercialisation of fashion blogging, I would still celebrate the movement as a positive whole. From the privileged women running million-dollar blogging empires to anyone getting started with Instagram and YouTube channels – it’s all contributed to a diversification and democratisation in the ways we’re inspired to dress and express ourselves. When you hap across blogging voices that up representation of different ethnicities, social backgrounds and body sizes in fashion, it’s a fist-pumping moment of progress that wouldn’t have existed if the internet hadn’t come along.
