Vicky is from Shang Dong in China and is an artist. When I saw her she had a lovely air of happiness about her. It was great to watch.When I asked her the questions I ask it became evident why. Her style influence she says is spirit energy. She likes to imagine the city as a forest. For Vicky meditation is essential, especially under a tree and she says it influences your energy more and helps you get back to nature.. Her 2 favourite places in London are the British Museum and the SOAS Library. The 1st drawing is one of Vicky's artworks (she doesnt have her work online)the 2nd is one of her boyfriends which she sent in her 1st email to me after we met. There is a great feeling of movement in it. Vicky is wearing a hat and coat she bought at Barnet Fair, her boots are Kenzo, necklace All Saints, bag COS and her umbrella is from China.

Louise has just graduated in Illustration and is deciding what's next. We met just after she had been to see the D&AD student competition exhibition in Spitalfields. Spitalfields also happens to be her favourite place in the city. Her style influences are designers like Raf Simons, old TV shows, films and Romwe. Her surprise was that she used to rock climb. For our shots she is wearing a COS dress and shirt, Office shoes, Burberry watch and is carrying a Longchamp bag.

Zac works for Louboutin how cool is that. Saying that when I asked him his surprise he told me that he has 300 pairs of shoes and that his new flat has a room just for shoes. Now here is a man whose love of shoes has him working for one of the best. Style wise Zac dresses with his mood which can be flamboyant or casual. He likes to wear a lot of designer brand key pieces which are an easy fit with high street. He also has a lot of fur. Zac's favourite place in London is Shoreditch House. Here he is wearing a jacket and trousers from Aqua - Carnaby Street. Louboutin shoes (of course), fur from Brick Lane and COS top.

How could Charlotte's shirt not catch your eye. It is bold and bright and is by Moschino. Moschino's motto was "fashion should be fun and should send a message". I think he would have felt this shirt lived up to his motto. Charlotte works for Modus PR. She told me that she did design at Kingston Uni and just sort of fell into PR which has been an ongoing internship. She likes East London best saying that the night life is good. Surprisingly she says she did the mini marathon when she was at school. The rest of her outfit is made up of jacket from All Saints, shorts from Topshop, shoes by Jeffery Campbell and a COS bag.
