Pedro and David are both from the same small town in Portugal and are both studying fashion design at St Martins. (Are we looking at the next big designer collaboration in fashion?) When I asked them what they liked best about London they both agreed it was the freedom to express themselves in their dress. They used to be ridiculed for the way they dress in the small town they are from, saying in London people are more individual and original and like what they wear. Ari Seth Cohen over at
Advanced Style wrote an interesting piece this week about a young man from South Carolina asking for help with the fashion bulling he was going through. So it goes on everywhere.
Pedro told me the the most surprising thing about himself is the way he wears his clothes. David told me he could knit. Now these guys are dressed wonderfully and after they had gone I was kicking myself that I didn't give you a close up on their hands as they were both wearing amazing rings. I will tell you about them in a mo when I let you know where they are from. Pedro's style influence today is
Philip Treacy and military. Usually it is just the 1st thing he sees. Here he is wearing a hat by
Philip Tracey, his coat and shirt are
Burberry, I think (a combination of atrocious hand writing and it was cold).
Levi jeans,
Gucci shoes, vintage glasses,
Caroline Herrera bag and an
Alexander McQueen skull ring. David is wearing a
Rick Owens coat,
Dsquared cardy,
Levi's, boots from and alternative shop in Portugal and a
YSL ring.
