When I saw Jessica she was stopping people, getting them to wear her hat and then taking their picture. However for me she looked the coolest in it, tough and gentle all at the same time. Jessica is the designer behind the Hardware London label and the hat is from her own brand. She is also wearing an Arrogant Cat coat with a vintage fur, a top she has fashioned from an old pair of leggings, Adidas trousers and Nike shoes and her clutch is also vintage.
Like most people these days Jessica is multi talented and sometimes works as a DJ. Her favouite places in London are Camden and Portobello Rd.

Out and about...Graduate Fashion Week part 3

Matt Bosbridge has just graduated in promotions. He was going to an interview about promoting his own designs which, is why he told me, he was suited and booted. He has obviously decided to used his newly gained degree wisely. For his interview he has chosen to wear an ASOS suit, Ben Sherman shirt, vintage DM's and briefcase. His surprise for us is that he loves chick flicks.

Raj Soond has just graduated in fashion design and is going to work as a freelance stylist and designer. When I asked what his surprise was he said he dresses for a big city but lives in a small town. He is wearing Vivienne Westwood glasses, shirt and shoes, Dior jacket and Topman trousers.

Miles Dumphy has just graduated from Birmingham specialising in menswear design. He was very excited about showing his work and was looking out for one of his models while I was shooting. Next up he is hoping for a place at the RCA to do an MA. His surprise for us was that he loves music and loves to smile. Miles is wearing a Nike jacket, Kooples shirt, NBA basketball shirt, his own design trousers, Okiai shoes and is carrying a Jan Sport bag.

Mr Porter - Luke like Miles is a menswear designer who would also like to go on to do an MA. I wish them both success. He is wearing a suit he bought in a charity shop on Berwick Street. He cut off the trousers and added the shiny detail on the collar.. His T is from H&M and shoes are Topman. Now, I wouldn't ordinarily say OK to white socks on a guy (unless he was playing sport) but I think I have found an exception with this look.

I love the colours Yukee is wearing here. When we met he had been in town for a long weekend from Amsterdam. Yukee is a jewelery designer and a goldsmith. You can see his work his work here and in the picture, as he is wearing his own designs here too. He gets his style inspiration from vintage clothes, the street, hiphop, urban, and a 60's 70's crossover. For his jewelery design inspiration he looks to architecture, the V&A and everyday life. He likes meld the old with the new. He told me he likes to get lost, that he feels safe in it, it gives him a sense freedom. That it is like treasure hunting. For our shot today he is wearing a hat by Episode, scarf and sweater from a shop in Amsterdam called Orange (can't find them), jacket from Portobello market, trousers from Bangkok and he had just bought his Nike's from Offspring which is were his bag is from.

Don't Riki, Jessy, Alex and Milo look great. They were very cool too. They all go to different schools but met each other through friends. Mostly their style is inspired by music. For Riki it is Yannis Philippakis from Foals. Oh and the Bombay Bicycle Club. Milo likes old Brit pop and especially the The Libertines for Alex it is Florence and the machine or Bloc Party. For Jessy though it was her mum who was a fashion designer before she came along.
Riki is wearing a T from Uniqlo, jeans from Red Herring and Nike shoes. Jessy has on short dungarees from River Island, top from Adidas, amazing tights from a trip to France. Her boots are Urban Outfitters and her bag is Paul Smith. Alex wears 2 jackets - the outer one is from Rokit, the inner hoodie is from American Apparel. Her stripy T and leggings are from H&M and her boots like Jessy are also Urban Outfitters. Milo has on a hoodie also from American Apparel, the all important black and gold Fred Perry polo, jeans from H&M and shoes from Vans. He then went on to tell me that his boxers were Calvin Klein which made everyone smile.
