Out and about....Crispin St

From Fashionistable

I would say the location for today's shot is probably one of the most iconic in Spitalfields. It is certainly on of my favourites and it takes a lot not to drag everyone over to this spot to take pictures. It is wonderful that the owners keep the brilliant old painted shop front.
Louie is both a model and a visual merchandiser. When I asked him for his favourite place in London. He said "it must be Shorditch, well at least it the place I spend most of my time". His surprise for us is that he used to play football for Luton. Saying that even he finds that surprising now. I couldn't help asking him to tell me the story behind his magnificent moustache. He grew it 2 years ago for Movember, although he only managed to raise £1 for his efforts back then he has kept it going since.
Louie is wearing a Coat and trousers from French Connection, a shirt he bought in a market in Barcelona, Primark socks and Dr Martin shoes.

Out and about....to illustrate the point

Ade is in her 1st year at St Martins. She is studying illustration and is really excited to be studying there. Her surprising thing was connected with college. We met near Brick Lane where she was looking for props for a project she had been set to do. Which is a painting of herself as her hero, who is Mark Ryden (if you have a look at his paintings, then go to The Gay 90's show you will see were Lady Gaga's designer got the idea for the meat dress). So she was looking for a bow tie, glasses and dolls you can see why the bow tie and glasses here. You can see why the dolls from his illustrations. Her style guide usually follows a strict no pattern policy. The pattern we are seeing today is the only pattern she owns. Her coat is from a friend from OZ, her scarf is also a present. Her top is by Olga de Polga, dress by Warehouse, tights M&S, DMs on her feet and her bag is from Egg 3 but I can't find a link for them for you.
