Out and about....the boys are back in town

When Reo, Joe and Jonas walked past they emitted such a force of cool sartorial style I just had to stop them. Turns out they are all fashion designers. They don't work as a team it just looks that way when the street. If you want to see more they are all on instagram @reo_ma, @joe_h and @jonaspoon. With the London Men's Collections starting next week I am looking forward to much more of this.

Megan is from Liverpool and is in her last year of studying fashion journalism. Her style influence is Vogue. Megan's surprise was fun, she was Minnie Mouse in Disneyland Florida for a summer. Her favourite places in London are Covent Garden and Kensington/Knightsbridge. In Liverpool it is the Albert Docks. She is wearing a hat from H&M, Zara shirt and skirt from Warehouse. When I asked where her belt was from she said "Topshop, bag Topshop shoes Topshop" she then laughed and said "I used to work there."

As promised here is my second example of ripped tights still looking good. Jasmine works for size? in Carnaby Street and is also a freelance stylist. You can see her work and blog here. Style wise she likes people who care/don't care, making them stand out in a crowd. Originally from Sweden Jasmine's favourite place in London is Brick Lane. Surprisingly she told me she was shy. Her jacket is from Beyond Retro, The denim jacket below the bomber and her T are vintage from NYC. Her tights are Henry Holland for Pretty Polly and her trainers are from size?

Athena is a Londoner. She works for size? on Carnaby Street and was sitting enjoying the sun, with a friend who also works for size?, (who you see another day) when I cut in. Athena says her style influence is the 20's the 70's and possibly the 90's garage/grunge. Surprisingly she told me that she manages to read a book a week and that she makes her own clothes. I am loving how her shoes ping with the lining of her coat. She bought the coat on eBay and the shoes are Office. Otherwise her glasses are Primark, trousers are Philip Lim and inventively her top is actually a slip which she has just pulled up and converted its use - clever.

Out and about....organised

I have been meeting a lot of native Londoners on my travels recently which is great. Kate is one of them. She works for an events agency. Organising mainly corporate events. As a result, how she is dressed now, is as edgy as she can get away with on a day to day basis. Otherwise her style influences are Goodwood Vintage, Celebs and the TV. Here both her jacket and necklace are vintage. Her dress is H&M, boots are Topshop and bag is Mulberry. Kate is fluent in Italian having studied and lived there. I would love to be able to speak Italian.

Out and about....colourful and fun

I think that Kay's lovely smile says a lot about her it is great. Style wise she told me that her influences were Hitchcock films, cosmetics from the 60's, and clothing which allows her to show her character. For this look I love the way she has taken one solid base colour and added a riot of other colours around it. Kay is an artist and incorporates photography, painting and textiles into her work. She feels by mixing the media it allows her to create something new. To supplement her student income she works in a store in Carnaby St called Year Zero. It was only when I was processing my close up of her that I realised the needles on her T made it look like she was being injected. My aim had been to show you her accessories. Now it looks edgy and pretty all at the same time. Her T and trousers are from Year Zero. Then all the added colour is -  vintage scarf from Deptford market, earrings Topshop, denim shirt H&M, boots DM's, there are so many great variations of these around at the moment it is making me wish for a pair again. Her bracelets are from Funky Bling and she said her bag was random from Pop.
