From 1947 to the present day, the Dior: Designer of Dreams exhibition at London’s V&A explores the influence and career of Christian Dior himself, and his successors, with the fashion house that changed couture. I have always admired Dior, especially since Maria Chiuri Grazia took centre stage as creative director in 2015, with her iconic ‘We Should All Be Feminists’ t-shirt.

Returning volunteer writer, Meg Jocson Ong, shares how where she grew up influenced her life and who she is today. My time in the Philippines was cut off too short when my dad was expatriated to Malaysia. I’ve never cried so much until I was in the car to the airport – driving through this bustling city I call home.

Returning volunteer Bella Butler discusses different facts and views from the Grand National and it’s aftershocks. Tiger Roll, ridden by Davy Russell, won for the second successive year at the Grand National in Aintree, putting them in the record books by equalising Red Rum’s back-to-back wins from 1974.

He was one of three fatalities across the last two days of the event, causing people to question the ethics of horse racing.…
