'I queued for an overflowing cream bun and got it all over my nose'

You might have seen the latest viral dessert on your TikTok feed appearing in the form of an overfilled cream bun. Known as ‘maritozzo’, these sweet Italian pastries are typically filled with lots of whipped cream and dusted in icing sugar. Albeit dating back to ancient Rome, they are becoming the latest craze thanks to Dolce VyTa in Covent Garden.

UK’s ‘coolest town’ that’s well worth the weirdly difficult journey from London

The app is well-known for promoting preloved and vintage clothing, as well as making a stand against the continued use of fast fashion brands such as Boohoo and Prettylittlething. Its ethi

The Problems with Fast Fashion

However, the true meaning of what fast fashion entails is rarely focused upon, with its unsustainable nature hidden from the perceived benefits which cover these retailers’ websites.

The idea of fast fashion relies upon simply what can be described as a process which is
