From The Desk Of Blossoms: Fashion

British quintet Blossoms is unapologetically ambitious. Rather than quietly release 2014 debut single “Blow,” the band announced it with an ardent, online manifesto. “We want to be heard by everyone,” it read, in part. “We want to be as mainstream as Will Smith, as great as the Smiths, and as uplifting as Mr. Smith Goes To Washington.” The band has just issued its self-titled debut. Blossoms will also be guest editing magnetmagazine.com all week. Read our new feature on the band.

Joe Donovan: Fashion has always been a massive part of my life. When I first started school, I used to take my trainers in my bag, and when my mum left me at the gate, I’d slip into my trainers. They looked well cooler then my leather velcro school shoes. I always cared about how I looked, and this got me into my first “proper” job as a tailor. I used to be obsessed with the latest trends and who was wearing what and how I could upgrade my own wardrobe. I even used to make a few of my own things or modify pieces. The only problem I’m five feet and as wide as I am tall, so never look good as good as I’d like to, but I love picking outfits out for people, I always help out the lads pick out stuff for photo shoots and videos, etc. I find it fun to go out shopping and that the only downside is I can’t help but judge every person I see on what they’re wearing.
