Yesterday I popped down to alternative fashion week, to take a peek at a few looks from young designers. Held at Spitafields market in east London, showcasing original and creative collections by a fresh crop of new designers.

I think fashion students Anita and Gemma capture the London vintage look so well. Everything they are wearing is vintage, except Anita’s Ecco shoes, (on the left) . I especially love Anita’s Art-Deco style bag, and the overall mix of tones and splashes of colour that the girls have put together.

I got double value when I spotted – Suzie (without headband) and Hayley, – sporting their urban cool look, -  while we were all queuing for the cash machine. Suzie and Hayley are originally from Manchester, -  I was shooting the stylish ladies of Manchester back in August for the Grazia Style Hunter Awards – and I know how much the Mancunian girls love to mix their vintage. Both Suzie and Hayley were wearing a touch of vintage along with converse and Barbours – Suzie and Hayley independently decided the weather had a slight chance of rain, but it turned out to be a really nice day. Suzie was wearing faux leather trousers from TKMAXX, and a cutdown vintage nightdress, teamed with a black H&M jumper. A touch of class was also added by Suzie with the addition of the cool Chanel sunglasses, plus vintage diamanté necklace, and lets not forget the YSL Muse bag. Hayley was wearing Topshop fairtrade leggings, vintage headband with checked shirt, and Pepe jeans/sunglasses. Hayley finishes her look off with a vintage bag and necklace.
