    Fashion Journalism
    Hello! My name is Petrina and I am an aspiring fashion writer, coming from the beautiful city of Athens, Greece. I have a passion for telling stories about folklore craftsmanship, upcoming queer creatives, and the remediation of the fashion system. I have a background in International & European politics which has informed my outlook and approach, along with my Foundation studies that provided me with the technical skills to frame my work creatively. The Fashion Journalism course proved to be a great fit for the culmination of my abilities and it challenges me to be the best version of myself as a person and professional.
