Frieda, is a fashion intern at Peter Jenson. Freida is wearing gloves made by her grandmother. “My bag is vintage from a lovely store in Sweden called Chic. Frieda’s waistcoat jumper is also from Chic and given to her by a friend. The coat is from a charity shop in Switzerland, and the scarf is from a flea market in Sweden.

Frieda is also wearing an 80s vintage blouse from China, and given to her by her mother. Frieda’s shorts are about 5 years old and from Topshop, her stocking tights are from Wolford and the boots are vintage.

“My favourite trend is when you just take items you love and just put them all together – you don’t really care how it looks you just love it! There has to be a story behind everything you wear”.

“I don’t like the fashion magazines that tell you what to wear, I think people should be able to feel what they wear.”

Kiko, is a DJ by night and by day he is the manages of the new Scottish mens wear store on Commercial street, called JS Dundee. Kiko’s outfit is made up from the latest collection of JS Dundee men’s wear.

“My favourite trend is tweed and tartan. I like the scottish gentleman look.
“My least favourite trend is the Camden Town Cyber-Punk look and tight fitting clothes.”

Malikah says’ ” I’m not a fan of faux fur, I think it looks and feels tacky and although I’m a vegetarian, I love real fur, as long as it’s vintage… as long as it has been killed before I was born, then I will wear it.”

Malikah’s fashion icon and inspiration is the Marchesa Luisa Casati, – “she is my favourite muse of all time!.. She was like the Paris Hilton of her day, but a lot better!”

Malikah is wearing a fox fur stole, black tail coat, a black velvet leotard, and a black tulle skirt, which malikah has modified. The shoes are Topshop black lace wedges.

I love Malikah’s take on 1920′s chic, – it references the 20′s while looking contemporary, fresh and modern, all at the same time.

Maria was dashing off to Soho House, when I spotted her wearing this Zara coat with such a lovely shape, -  “from a few seasons ago”, -  with tasselled boots bought from a boutique in Ibiza held together with a fabulous over-sized belt by Alice Temperly.

Romy, is a young fashion designer from Holland, working in London as a fashion intern.

Romy says” I am wearing a coat and sweater from H&M. My dress and bag I made myself. My boots are from Doctor Adams, which is a store in Holland. and the scarf was a present from a friend”.

“I have the feeling that colour is coming back, and I like colour very much, so I am glad to see all sorts of colours mixing up, -  I like this very much. I prefer soft pastels mixed with harsh colours. I like it when an outfit is mixed up and you have a feeling of, hum…. I don’t know if it works or not, but I like it as a whole.”

“My least  favourite trend is when I see girls wearing denim or ballerina skirts with leather jackets. I also don’t like the Goth look because it looks so depressing”.

Literature student Clio nicely blends a tweed vintage blazer, with a vintage silk blouse and H&M skirt, finished off with a gap scarf and a haberdashery headband. Clio’s favourite trend is… “the 1920′s look, especially some of Topshop’s current collection”. “Least favourite trend is florescent leggings and waist bands trying to hide a multitude of sins, but failing…” I think Clio seamlessly manages to play the vintage with a touch of modern flair while grasping a copy of Shakespeare’s sonnets under her arm. “Play on!”

Lyndon is a ‘display creative’ for Topman, Oxford Circus. Lydon is wearing Topman all in one, Uniqlo long-johns , Dr marten boots, a vintage jacket and a YMC sweatshirt.

“Trends I hate…. never hate… unless someone is too serious…. Then just let them pass you by…”

Peter was on business in the UK all the way from Australia, wearing his Ben Sherman, retro 60′s suit and his cool Australian Akubra hat There was definitely  a touch of the ‘Belushi’ about Peters look.

Peter told me that back home in Australia he and his wife love to collect Art Deco, and have a house full of the stuff.

I recently watched a fascinating documentary called ‘Good hair’ presented by Chris Rock for HBO. The documentary explored the issues surrounding black women and their hair and the huge industry that has grown around; weaves, extensions, and the relaxing of black women’s hair. I just loved the shape and colour this young woman’s Afro hair as she whizzed past me on Oxford street.
