Melissa really caught my eye on Oxford Street. Melissa was wearing vintage cut-off Levis – that belonged to her Mother, a Topshop tee-shirt that she cut and hemmed and a black vintage lace corset, from Anne Summers. I really liked this sexy summer, original look.
Yuliya is wearing this wonderfully elegant black dress which she say, “my boyfriends Mother made in Bulgaria – she likes to design dresses” - what a lucky girl. Yuliya compliments this classy look with a pair of Carvela shoes.
Anna is a fashion designer and recent fashion graduate from Westminster College. I really liked her pretty summer dress with the daisies – which Anna thought might be a little too short – came from rummiging around a charity shop.
Chloe is the Manager of the new Gail Berry Boutique, which is opening in Palmers Green. The green, cream and browns of her look, proved too irresistible for me to photograph. Chloe was wearing a vintage dress, Zara shoes, a coat by Whistles and bag by Vivian Westwood.
Luiza is currently working for the Jewelery designer Ben Day. Her look comprises of Alexander Mcqueen skirt and cravat, with a Vivian Westwood shirt. The shoes are Miu Miu, stockings by Agent Provocateur, and the necklass is Ben Day. What I really liked about Luiza look, was it was her’s alone – a totally original teaming-up of individual style, and the cravat adds such a touch of class.
Eric is a 23 y.o Actor, who graduated from Theatre Libre Acting School in Bogota, Colombia. he came over to London to learn English and study literature. Regarding his style he says “I try to find whatever I like, and adapt it to my own satisfaction. Vintage, cheap – but not that cheap clothes. I Just make up things on the way. For instance I am wearing a normal t-shirt cut by myself. Jeans I cut myself too - bought in Top Man. And boots from Zara. And a Little slightly Army-like Hat”.
Kariha has recently arrived in London from LA. She has already been a modeling for 4 years and is still only 17. We crossed in the rain when her radiant, simple look caught my attention. Kariha was happy for me to capture the moment, in her Topshop shorts and flats, Primark cardi and Forever belt.
Erin has just finished her training at College for Performing Arts and Dance. When I saw her she was busy attending auditions – wearing a Next Jacket, Adidas bottoms, Primark trainers and teeshirt, with an American Apparel bra. I Love the colourful urban combo, with casual-jacket touch.
Yn is a film and music commercials director. He says all of his clothes come from vintage stores and markets. I particularly liked his layered look, with his dogtooth, pale blue check shirt and yellow jeans with the turn-ups. Yn says he normally does not like having his photo taken – preferring to be on the other side of the camera.
