Remember when Ariel turns a scruffily iconic look out of some upcycled rope and a sail in The Little Mermaid? With the help, of course, of her probably gay besties Flounder (a yellow tropical fish), Sebastian (a lobster, not a crab), and Scuttle (possibly a herring gull - an endangered species, FYI). It's a scene that mesmerised already style-conscious baby gays like yours truly in 1989, and is broadly the vibe on today's beachside, ocean awareness-themed Attitude shoot - a look our stylist more coolly describes as 'Westwood shipwreck'. And who better to serve it than Bimini Bon "I'M VEGAN!" Boulash (they/them). The non-binary powerhouse is known for their daring sense of style and unbridled passion for the natural world - as demonstrated when they dressed on Drag Race UK season two as... an amoeba.

Posing up a storm on Europe's largest shingle beach, Dungeness, the 28-year-old rocks sustainable ensembles by Vivienne Westwood and (they trill in their unmistakable Norfolk drawl) "Stella McCartney, whose mum made great vegan sausages!"

But today is more than a fashion parade. Bimini is joined by BBC wildlife presenter and director Dan O'Neill, who is a driving force behind the Sea Our Future project. Alongside them are two dynamic young LGBTQ+ eco-leaders - wildlife TV researcher and marine biologist Dawood Qureshi and Student Climate Network volunteer Noga Levy-Rapoport. Together they want to draw our attention to the plight of the ocean.
