I would say the location for today's shot is probably one of the most iconic in Spitalfields. It is certainly on of my favourites and it takes a lot not to drag everyone over to this spot to take pictures. It is wonderful that the owners keep the brilliant old painted shop front.
Louie is both a model and a visual merchandiser. When I asked him for his favourite place in London. He said "it must be Shorditch, well at least it the place I spend most of my time". His surprise for us is that he used to play football for Luton. Saying that even he finds that surprising now. I couldn't help asking him to tell me the story behind his magnificent moustache. He grew it 2 years ago for Movember, although he only managed to raise £1 for his efforts back then he has kept it going since.
Louie is wearing a Coat and trousers from French Connection, a shirt he bought in a market in Barcelona, Primark socks and Dr Martin shoes.

I want to go shopping with Andreea from Dreaming of Chanel. Can you believe that everything she is wearing is high street. I was bowled over when she told me what she was wearing. It is so beautifully put together. Here goes, coat Zara, skirt Forever 21, jewellery New Look, watch River Island, shoes and bag Primark, belt Topshop and earrings Chanel. When asked for a surprise she told me she just loves life. Me too.

Erika was on the way to the hairdressers when we met. It turned out that she is a model with Zone agency. She told me she likes to travel but at the moment London is her home. And her favourite places in London are Chelsea and Mayfair. Style wise she said "I can be everything", which I guess is pretty handy when you are a model. In the picture she is wearing a Primark dress, Zara shoes, Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses and is carrying an Armani Exchange bag.

I first met up with William almost 2 years ago when he was in town with his Mum for his birthday. At the time I was taking pic's for the Vogue Street style competition. You can see the picture I took of him then, here. William was at university at the time and his goal then was to work for Vogue. Since we last met he has moved to London and is in the middle of a masters in fashion journalism. It was good to see him and learn that he is still concentrating on his goal to work for Vogue. He describes his style as tailored. For summer he is channeling Brideshead Revisited for his look, wearing cravats etc. Today he is wearing an Aquascutum trench, TM Lewin shirt, vintage bowtie, Primark cardy, Levis jeans, his dads belt, John Lewis boots (they are his favourite Chelsea boots) and carrying a Mulberry bag.

I spotted Thanee as she was stepping out of a shop. I thought her coat was wonderful warm and cuddly. She said her style influence was the singer Leykke Li. Her surprise is that she would like to be a lawyer which her friends (who were with her) find amazing. Not that she couldn't do it but because it seems so straight for her. Her favourite place in Amsterdam is Waterlooplein. Thanee's coat is from ASOS, Her earrings are Urban Outfitters, sweater is Primark, bag NewYorker and shoes are Clarks.

It is the punk in me who likes ripped tights. Although I dont do it anymore I still see it as a fashion statement.  So today and tomorrow I have 2 examples I have shot recently. Originally from Kuala Lumpur Sabrina is studying art foundation at Chelsea. For her main degree she wants to stay at Chelsea and study textiles. I think her beautiful jacket is a fine example of her love of this discipline. Her favourite place in London is Soho and coffee shop Cafe 54. Her jacket is by Motel Rocks, top and shorts are from Topshop. Her necklaces were bought on visits to Egypt and Istanbul. Her bag is from Zara, the belt is vintage from Australia and her boots are from Primark.

Athena is a Londoner. She works for size? on Carnaby Street and was sitting enjoying the sun, with a friend who also works for size?, (who you see another day) when I cut in. Athena says her style influence is the 20's the 70's and possibly the 90's garage/grunge. Surprisingly she told me that she manages to read a book a week and that she makes her own clothes. I am loving how her shoes ping with the lining of her coat. She bought the coat on eBay and the shoes are Office. Otherwise her glasses are Primark, trousers are Philip Lim and inventively her top is actually a slip which she has just pulled up and converted its use - clever.
