Zac works for Louboutin how cool is that. Saying that when I asked him his surprise he told me that he has 300 pairs of shoes and that his new flat has a room just for shoes. Now here is a man whose love of shoes has him working for one of the best. Style wise Zac dresses with his mood which can be flamboyant or casual. He likes to wear a lot of designer brand key pieces which are an easy fit with high street. He also has a lot of fur. Zac's favourite place in London is Shoreditch House. Here he is wearing a jacket and trousers from Aqua - Carnaby Street. Louboutin shoes (of course), fur from Brick Lane and COS top.

Laina and Guoquan are both 2nd year students and both from China. Laina is studying jewelery design and Guoquan, magazine publishing. They both like the shopping and life in London. Liana's favourite place is Piccadilly Circus and Guoquan's is Mayfair. Laina draws inspiration from nature and photos for her jewelery designs and Guoquan's surprise is he loves to dance in nightclubs. Laina's look is compromised of glasses from Chanel, Burberry coat, her top and shorts were bought in China, berry tights from Wolford, shoes Miu Miu and I cant make out where she got her bag from, maybe Celene. Guoquan is wearing a hat from Marc Jacobs, jacket from Acne, shirt and jeans Topman, shoes Louboutin and is carrying a Celine bag.

Out and about....a woman of substance

From Fashionistable

I spotted Ana as she disappeared around a corner in front of me. Luckily for a change I was in flats so could move quickly. It was her wonderful coat the the flash of red sole that caught my eyes and pulled me after her. Ana is originally from Brazil and is the Executive Director of her own company Showroom One London which represents accessory brands. For her own style she told me she lives in heels and usually dresses. When she wears trousers like today it is for comfort only. When I asked her to tell me something surprising she said 'I am 40, have been married 4 times, have 2 businesses and 2 grown up children in their 20's'. Yep that was quite a lot of surprises. Ana is wearing a coat from Jaeger, belted with a vintage belt she has had for 20years. Her shoes are of course Louboutin hence the red flash I spotted....her bag is Chanel, I forgot to ask about her trousers. She picked up her cool bangle from an accessory retailer in Poland St 2 weeks ago for a fiver.

Out and about....inside out

On a recent trip to the Tate Modern I spotted Sophie. I loved her use of blue. I am amazed I got her in focus. For any of you who know about photography I was shooting on 1000 iso at a 15th of a sec. I normally find a 30th of a sec as good as it gets for me when hand holding and would ideally be shooting on 100 iso. It is a very grainy shot as a result. (OK technical bit over now.) Sophie is from Switzerland but is living in Italy at the moment. In January she will move back to the UK to Oxford write her PHD in Ancient Greek. Smart cookie hey. Also talented. When I asked her to tell me something surprising she told me she was also a dancer and actress. Her style influences are iconic actresses from the 50's. She likes simple classical forms and bright colours. Saying that 'the special thing would be the colour'. Her scarf is by Jeff - can't find a link. sweater is Koan, trousers are Bread Jeans and her beautiful shoes are Louboutin.

I spotted Sonia on the tube and amazingly we got off at the same stop. Sonia had just come from the gym - I so wish I looked this good after a gym session - my face goes so red it looks like I am going to burst and takes hours to go back to normal. Sonia is originally from Wales and after all this time is the 1st Welsh person I have photographed. She is a lawyer (dealing with the music industry) and has been living n London for the last 2 years. Previously Sonia has lived and worked in Japan and loved it. Her favourite shop in all of London is called Season - I can't find it for you sorry - both her dress and jacket are from there. Sonia's shoes are Louboutin, she couldn't remember where her bag was from and her glasses are by Tom Ford. Her favourite designer though for both work and play is Roland Mouret.

Out and about....quiet mews

From Fashionistable

The title of my post today is to make Ashi smile. We walked off the main road into what we thought was a nice quiet mews. The moment I raised my camera there were boys playing football and lots of guys on scooters passing through. Then other pedestrians. We were amazed jus how busy it was. Anyway in the middle of all this chaos (and the scooter guys stopping in the shot so they could have their picture taken too) we managed to get the shot. Ashi is from London and has just finished a post grad in history of art. In Sept/Oct she will start her MA at Goldsmiths in cultural studies.
Until then she will be heading off to the South of France for a month before the end of the summer. Mmmm lucky thing. I think I need to go away again, but for longer this time maybe. Style wise Ashi is infulenced by the 50's and Audrey Hepburn. When I asked her for something surprising about herself she said if she were to have dinner with anyone past or present it would be Napoleon. "Why" I said. So she told me it was because he was inspirational and conquered the world. Here, she is wearing Fendi sunglasses, dress by All Saints, Louboutin shoes and is carrying a Pauric Sweeney bag.
