Brian Boy, working his colour magic with this fabulous combination of yellow jacket, aqua blue brothel creepers, blue bag, with Some lovely tone blocking going on here – I especially love the green polka-dot shirt worn under Brian’s dark top.

Anna tells me that most of the clothes she is wearing came from her mother, except for the top and the shoes.

Here is a selection of images I shot for the American Black Women’s magazine Essence, for their september issue. The brief was to shoot street style fashion shots of stylish black women living in London, as part of a global street style feature.

From top: Student Chloe, wearing a playsuit made in Ghana from Chloe’s own pattern. material sourced from Market In Ghana.  Traditional pattern called Angie. cowhide bag bought in Ghana.

Stylist Gretchen is wearing Blouse Zara, Belt Primark Skirt Vintage Shoes Vivenne Westwood, Necklass Vintage, with Antique Earrings.

Blogger and photographer Michelle is wearing a Shirt Gap Waistcoat Maxmara trousers Zara Shoes All-Saints Bag LV Earings Jackie Brazil Tie Tie Rack.

PR Jannine is wearing an oversized Mens Shirt borrowed from her father, with Topshop Socks Primark Books, and a Topshop leotard/body-con.

Another fantastic example of the underwear as outerwear look with a body-con shape. I’m especially loving the nudie tones, textured detail and pleating of the bottom half.

I just love the mix of military style jacket with sexy french lace underwear  lingerie as outerwear and black lace blouse with those tough looking boots.
