Representation of Myself

3 Groups

First of all I would put myself in the 'Young Alts' group. I enjoy listening to alternative music and browsing for new music. I'd like to think I am quite laid-back when it comes to the clothing that I wear and am not necessarily bothered about whether it is the fashionable thing to wear. I don't ever go into a certain shop and buy something purely for the brand however I do find myself wearing clothes that not a lot of people have and many would consider the clothing to be alternative. Saying that, I also wear clothes like Carhartt, Undefeated and The Hundreds which are now seen as fairly mainstream.

Secondly, I would put myself slightly into the 'New Casuals' group. This is mainly due to my love for football and watching the football on a Saturday. I would also associate myself with some of the clothes that are seen as casual. I wear brands like Fred Perry, Lyle & Scott and Adidas originals. However I certainly wouldn't label myself as a casual person, I just seem to have a lot in common with those that would. One thing that I don't have in common is the love of 80's music.



Finally, I would place myself in the 'Skater' group. Although I don't skate myself, I do have an interest in those that do and if I had enough spare time I would probably skate. I own clothes and shoes that are often worn by the typical skater e.g. Nike SB, Stussy and Vans. A few of my friends skate and I do think it would be good hobby to pick up.

3 Celebrities

One celebrity that I would look up to is David Beckham. I love his dress sense but sadly it is the style that someone of his character can pull off. He dresses himself very smartly and always looks his best. If I could choose any person to look like it would have to be DB. Style aside, Beckham's generous personality also adds to his appeal as he is often involved in charity events such as Sport Relief and this is something that I respect.

Another celebrity that I admire is Leonardo Di Caprio. As well as his legendary acting status, he also looks good all of the time. Although many think he looked his best in his younger years, I think that his looks have improved with age and he is definitely someone that I aspire to be like. The thing that impresses me most 

about Di Caprio is his perseverance. After being nominated for five Academy Awards, and not winning any, I feel that his career has not yet peaked and his performances and productions continue to improve unlike some actors where this may not have been the case.

And last but not least, I look up to the style of footballer Adam Lallana. He was recently revealed as the face of the clothing brand French Connection and, although I do not own any clothes of this brand, I admire their style and would most certainly buy a product if I liked it. Lallana, like many other footballers is determined to improve his ability and fulfil his potential. By coming through the ranks at Bournemouth and then Southampton as a youngster, he is now representing Liverpool and England and this is all down to the hard work that he put in to get to where he is now.

One or two people have mentioned that they think they see a similarity between me and Lallana, obviously without the beard. I don't see it myself however if I were to choose somebody with similar looks or dress sense it would be him.
