Her surprise was that her name means pomegranate. She works as an assistant for Club Monaco. Rimon is wearing an All Saints dress teamed with a Proenza Schouler bag and Pierre Hardy shoes.

Out and about....Milan Fashion Week - Giovanna Battaglia

From Fashionistable

The girl was not for stopping so I can't tell you what she was wearing. As you can see from her ticket she was on her way to the Marni show which was held in a lovely sun trapped courtyard full of beautiful morning light.

I had never been to Milan before and was thrown in at the deep end. The 1st day there I spent mostly walking from show to show. Not easy I can tell you as they are not always close together. 2nd day I managed to get a couple of press buses. Not ideal either as at times they leave a bit to early to catch people as they leave the shows or not early enough to reach the next show in time....hey. Public transport or taxis I hear you cry, well the trams are lovely but not extensive and the Metro also has little coverage. Taxis, you cant flag down a taxi you have to call (language barrier) them or find a hotel to call one for you. And when you do get a taxi oh boy they are expensive, makes London cabs look positively cheap. It was a great experience all the same though. And to be shooting for Vogue was just so amazing.

You can view my Vogue shots here. There are 24 up there now. More to follow.

Out and about....the fame bureau

Portobello Road on a Sunday is a much quieter place than it's rowdy Saturday sister as the crowds have usually made their way East. I had already walked the length of the road and was on my way back when I met Ted. Ted is the MD of the The Fame Bureau where he sells high end rock 'n' roll memorabilia. He also manages a girl band called Blond (cant find a link). Ted is a Londoner and his favourite place is Hampstead where he said he grew up. Ted is wearing a jacket from Gieves and Hawkes, waistcoat is vintage Hornes, he couldn't remember where his shirt is from, jeans American Apperal, shoes are Churches and glasses Ray Ban.

Sebastie Kwok didn’t tell me a lot, as he wanted to stay a bit mysterious. Originally from Hong Kong he is studying women’s wear at LCF. All his clothing is vintage. His surprising story was that he once bought 8 pairs of shoes when he was on a trip to Pairs.

Out and about....Mondrian inspiration

How could Charlotte's shirt not catch your eye. It is bold and bright and is by Moschino. Moschino's motto was "fashion should be fun and should send a message". I think he would have felt this shirt lived up to his motto. Charlotte works for Modus PR. She told me that she did design at Kingston Uni and just sort of fell into PR which has been an ongoing internship. She likes East London best saying that the night life is good. Surprisingly she says she did the mini marathon when she was at school. The rest of her outfit is made up of jacket from All Saints, shorts from Topshop, shoes by Jeffery Campbell and a COS bag.

Victoria is from Chelsea, she has just come back to the UK after a year abroad spent in Paris and Spain as part of her Uni course. She studies French, Spanish and History of Art at Durham. Paris had a great effect on Victoria. She says she blossomed creatively there. Describing herself as a budding photographer she told me she took lots of pictures during her time in Paris. At the moment she is having fun playing with composition, she also loves the effects she gets from different camera phones and experimenting. Generally she loves fashion photography and styling. I asked her if she is going anywhere during the summer. She said a week in the South of France however she is really enjoying being back in London for now. Her jacket is Earl Jean vintage, the shirt is Ralph Lauren and the additional gingham collar (which is red and white on the other side) is from Spain. Victoria's trousers are from French Connection, shoes Office, socks Gap and bag Marc Jacobs.
