I first met up with William almost 2 years ago when he was in town with his Mum for his birthday. At the time I was taking pic's for the Vogue Street style competition. You can see the picture I took of him then, here. William was at university at the time and his goal then was to work for Vogue. Since we last met he has moved to London and is in the middle of a masters in fashion journalism. It was good to see him and learn that he is still concentrating on his goal to work for Vogue. He describes his style as tailored. For summer he is channeling Brideshead Revisited for his look, wearing cravats etc. Today he is wearing an Aquascutum trench, TM Lewin shirt, vintage bowtie, Primark cardy, Levis jeans, his dads belt, John Lewis boots (they are his favourite Chelsea boots) and carrying a Mulberry bag.

Out and about...Birthday Boy

Ravi is an Art Director and a very sharp dresser. He was wearing an Aquascutum mac when we started the shoot, but the salmon cardy was too good miss out on so he kindly braved the cool day and the shoot without it. Ravi is 2nd generation Mauritian and of course he still has family there. The last time he visited was 4 years ago for his brothers wedding who was the only sibling to get married in the traditional Hindu way. Ravi's wife is Greek and family is very important to both of them. He told me  his Dad is his style inspiration 'he is so dapper. He is from an era where everyone dressed well (the 60's)'. When he looks at his Dads wedding photos from back then he loves the grey tapered suit and skinny tie he was wearing. Ravi is one of the most positive people I have ever met. He is upbeat and happiness just radiates from him. His philosophy in life is 'be good and good things will happen'. Great philosophy. I totally agree with him on this. Today he is wearing a Uniqlo cardy, Aquascutum shirt, Dunhill tie, Reiss trousers and vintage shoes. While we were chatting Ravi said 'my birthday is next week' when I asked him when he said the 2nd. So today the surprise is that mine is tomorrow. So a Big Happy Birthday to Ravi today and to let you know I will be taking tomorrow off for mine. See you all again Thursday. Love and Kisses Xxxx
