With Pride around the corner, and our mega Prom themed Pride float on the glitter paved horizon, we thought it was about time our yearbook committee pulled their fingers out and finished printing the latest edition of the Class of 2018 Skinnydip Yearbook! We spoke to a couple of our fave babes around HQ to find out a little more about what Pride means to them, and how important it is to work for a company like us who support Pride loud and proud! Drum roll please…

 

I’m going for a multi-coloured disco ball look! All the sequins and all the glitter. I’ll also be attempting Instagram worthy, pride flag inspired makeup- emphasis on attempting.

My fave Skinnydip accessory I’ll be taking is the holo cat bum bag. It’s the perfect combination of practical and cute.

It’s important to me to work for a company that supports pride because I think everyone should be confident to be themselves and love who they want. Fashion companies have so much influence on their consumers so to use that for good is something I love about Skinnydip.

I would love to go to pride in Amsterdam, I love the city anyway and it would be great to see the celebrations on the canals.

 

 

 Have you got a look for pride this year?

Probably something glittery and colourful of course, with a statement pair of sunnies!

I think it’s important to be a part of something that evolves so much more every year. It’s definitely a subject to be a part of for a young adult in the 21^st century. Out with the old, in with the new!

Come be a part of something amazing, supporting fellow adults.

I think it’s important, it creates another community, it feels great to help be part of something that’s a lot bigger than myself.

Either London or Brighton

 

Lots of glitter, lots of colour and feeling like you blend into the rainbow! 

To me, the LGBT community is an open family that is always willing to educate others, help expand people’s minds and perspectives and accepting people whoever they are. I’ve always found the community to be so welcoming, positive, and just an absolute force to be reckoned with. Oh, and they’re the most beautiful people I’ve ever seen!

I LOVE the range of bumbags, leaving you free to dance freely ☺

Have courage and confidence, there’s a whole family waiting to embrace you.

It’s such a privilege to work for a company so welcoming and open to Pride, and willing to lend their name to a cause that is so important. It’s been so exciting working on all of the products, events, and the big Pride float, I just can’t wait for it all to start!

I think New York or San Francisco would be absolutely amazing, but you can’t beat a London vibe.

 

BRIGHT COLOURED GLITTER, ALWAYS GLITTER – the more Glitter the better

My Best friend is Gay and watching him come out, struggle to find a stable relationship, be judged and punished (even by myself due to the pressures of social conventions) to FINALLY BEING A STRONG BEAUTIFUL IN LOVE MALE

Anything from the Hate Sucks range!!!!! The Phone case is so cute!

Take your time in making your own decisions, don’t force yourself to do OR not do anything based on the pressures of society – you are your own person and are entitled to feel and act within your own comfort. One example, and probably the most relevant is whether that means coming out early or not, and how you do it. Most importantly knowing you are never alone, there is so much strength within and more recently from outside the community to support you.

A company that supports Feminism, LGBT, Mental Awareness, Racial barriers – it is refreshing to work in a company that feels and recognises diversity, where you can openly talk about it!

I am literally going to Edinburgh tonight for Pride this weekend! (none will be as good as London though)
