Holloway Road: How old is your outfit?

By Ross Maclean

Everyone has their favourite shirt or favourite sweater, perhaps hiding in the back of their wardrobe or ready to wear on a clothes peg on the back of the door.

What’s your favourite piece of clothing – and have you had it long?

We asked several Holloway Road locals what’s their oldest – and newest – item that they happened to be wearing today. The results may surprise you…

Sara Scheeres, 22, Photojournalism student

“The sweater is a sort of experimentation with my identity, the differentiation of style is an expression of my eccentricities. I tried it on and it felt like it had a good balance in wackiness and sensibility, and I like how the diamonds are different textures, like I have different versions of Self.”
