FEELO is the name of the character I've been working on over the past year, a nickname I used to have at school. The inspiration behind FEELO’s style is from looking at fashion blogs to hypebeast kids and to even myself and a teenager and the nickname felt fitting for them. Instead of looking at the world as a whole, I've wanted to focus on this new single character for this show, detailing aspects of their day to day life expressing it through their style and look. --Felix Treadwell
