Sheila Marple.​

I’m interested in fashion.  I enjoy reading fashion magazines and going to clothes shops, but I can’t afford to buy fashionable clothes. They’re so expensive! 

I’ve got two or three special outfits that I wear when I go out, but most of the time I wear leggings and a T-shirt. My friends and I often borrow each other’s clothes. That way we can all wear something new but without spending too much money. ​

Madeleine Whooper.

Fashion isn’t for me. I don’t care about fashion and models. I usually wear comfortable clothes, like jeans, T-shirts and sports shoes or boots in winter. Most of my friends wear the same kind of clothes. We don’t talk about famous models; music is our favorite topic of conversation.

I don’t use make-up either because I’m too young and my skin is fresh and clean.

Marina Fellow.

I think fashion is important because it says something about your personality. I’m a confident, outgoing person and I want my clothes to reflect this.

I hate looking boring or old-fashioned even at home! Being fashionable doesn’t have to be expensive. I sometimes buy ordinary cheap clothes and then alter them at home. I also like designing my clothes. My mother helps me a lot because she can sew very well.
