ALT a mood board with the label “Nora Hedding”. the pictures are: some blue jellyfish on a black background; a teenage girl with dark hair and freckles; some black boots against the sky; a pair of earphones on a pale blue background; a microscope; two hands, one with black nails, touching each other; some necklaces against a black T-shirt.

ALT a mood board with the label “Theo Markham”. the pictures are: a person’s shoulder in a pale jumper; a pair of black boots and a pair of brown shoes facing each other; squared paper; a pair of black headphones against a white background; a hand with a green fidget spinner; a teenage boy with a cut lip; a street with identical houses.
