OUSU Fash Off: Vote Now!

Read our editors’ verdict and cast your vote now on OUSU election fashion!


The OUSU elections often get a bad rep, but at Tab Fashion HQ we think it’s about time someone praised the candidates’ successes.

As any one from the electorate can tell you, the 2013 election season has been nothing short of a style storm.

Cast your vote in the only poll that counts this week and vote for this year’s OUSU Fashionistas.

Left to Right: Jane Cahill (President) James Blythe (VP Access)

Editors’ Verdict: James Blythe looks sensational in neon orange. But does he have a zest for Access?

Left to Right: Andrew Rodgers (VP Welfare) Yasser Bhatti (VP Graduate)

Editors’ Verdict: We love these matched monochrome looks. We haven’t seen such a beautifully coordinated stripy duo since “Bananas in Pyjamas” first hit CBBC.

Are you going bananas for the OUSU elections?

Reclaim OUSU

Left to Right: Angie Normandale (VP Charity), Nathan Akehurst (President), Rob Collins (VP Access)

Editors’ Verdict:  In contrast to all the mature grey suits, Angie makes a bid for the young peoples’ vote with these on trend trousers. But ultimately its Rob Collins who steals the show looking like a Grecian goddess in this draped look.

Reclaiming ancient fashion?

Team Alex

Left to Right: Nick Dickinson (VP Graduates), Alex Bartram (President), Trish Stephenson (VP Women), Chris Pike (VP Welfare)

Editors’ Verdict: Black and white outfits flank a colour explosion in the middle, all topped off with a cheeky smile from Trish. What more could you want?
