The Whitby Goth Festival sparked Slid Needham’s love of fashion and it continues to inspire her today

Slid Needham is a politically-charged young creative, whose expertise cannot be put into just one category. Her make-up looks are abstract, her outfits uncensored – a fact that has left her at odds with Instagram’s nudity guidelines.

In conversation with SLICK, Needham opened up about the nature of creative plagiarism, the need for authentic, well-meaning representation in the industry, and the role her sexual and gender identity plays in her design process.
