Anne is a Research Manager. Originally from Berlin Anne has live in London for the past 2 and a half years. She told me that her style is heavily influenced by her Berlin roots, with its liberalism, vintage and hippy vibe. Anne describes herself as an artist and says she has been so since she stated to walk. This crosses over into the way she dresses saying that she see how she dresses every day as a little piece of art, it is her way of expressing herself. Allowing personal freedom and self fulfillment. I had never thought of fashion in these terms before and it certainly is food for thought. Anne's favourite place in London is Shoreditch and in Berlin is all of East Berlin and especially Kreuzkoeln.
She is wearing at top by Thu Thu who is a friend of hers, a Zara skirt, Office ankle boots and her doctors bag is from her Mum who is a Doctor.

Sofia has a 1/2 Greek and 1/2 Spanish background and is a fashion buyer, she has certainly pulled her own look together very well. I love the military and feminine mix. In fact Sofia says she loves femininity in fashion and said that "girls should always wear dresses". Heels too but flats are OK if you have to walk a long way. She also loves the 60's era, classic women and Kelly Brooke. Sofia likes to travel and recently went to Bali which she says is the most beautiful place she has been to yet. On life and travel she said "I think it is important for people to find their sanctuary. And you can only do that out of your comfort zone." In London Sofia's favourite place is Covent Garden. Here she is wearing a coat she bought online. Topshop dress, Forever 21 shoes and is carrying a Louis Vuitton bag.

When I first saw Aline apart from seeing her great colourful, patterned trousers I also thought she was French. So it was interesting to find out once we started talking that what I was seeing was her mother in her, as she is 1/2 French from her mothers side. Style wise she likes the effortless chic the French have and she describes her own style as casual, comfortable chic, quite relaxed. Aline is a copywriter for Fab UK her is a link to their site and their blog. She travels every day from Brighton to work in London. Favourite places in London are Leather Lane and Camden and her favourite place in Brighton is the sea. Aline's surprise for us was that she has climbed the 2nd highest mountain in the world K2 in flip flops because her boots were hurting too much. Respect. She is wearing a Topshop top, River Island trousers, sandals she bought in Sydney. The leaf on her necklace was a present from her Mum which she put on a different chain and her bag is from Greece.

Annelies was on her way to work when we met. How do you go to work? In flats or heels all the way? After I took the first picture we walked along to keep her moving towards work while I interviewed her. Just as we were about to part she asked if I would like her to put her heels on. Now how could I refuse the opportunity to shoot the look in its entirety? Annelies is from New Zealand from Dutch heritage and is a Lawyer. She creates her style by pulling little bit of what she like to create her look, which is different each day. Her favourite places in London are Angel and Regents Canal. Our surprise from her is that she has ran the marathon twice and "heaps" of 1/2 marathons. Annelies look is comprised of Prada glasses, shrug and bag from a boutique in New Zealand, dress and heels from Topshop and the flats are Havaianas.

Charlotte, who is London born and raised works as an Account Manager. Her style influence is anything 70's and a bit of Rock and Roll. Favourite place in her home city is Camden. When I asked Charlotte for her surprise she told me that her ideal life would be to run away and live on a camper van site and have lots of long haired hippy children. Here she is wearing a jumpsuit bought from a vintage eBay seller. Shoes from a charity shop and is carrying a Kenneth Cole bag she bought at a car boot sale.

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.

Her top and shorts are by a friend of Victoria's called Sorcha O'Raghallaigh, her shoes are by Kat Maconie, sunglasses are Missoni and she is carrying a Jil Sander clutch. Her surprise for us is that she used to be a high jumper, very appropriate for this Olympic season.

Bern is an artist and administrator (to make ends meet) you can see his art here. When I said "Bern like in Switzerland?" He said "yes I was named after the town". And why not, people call their kids Paris after all so I guess that at least it is not so obvious. Bern told me his style influence is William Burrows he finds it much easier now to wear a suit all the time and finds it harder to wear regular clothes. In London his favourite place is The Sir John Soane Museum. He says he has surprised himself because after not wanting to live a conventional life he finds he has one. I am sure you have all been wondering what the significance of today's title is. Well after I had asked Bern my questions he then asked me a set of his own. His questions to me were pretty cool actually and were 1. If I were a Muppet which Muppet would I be? 2. When did I last eat fish? 3. If I was to something really, really bad what would it be? And 4. On a rating of 1 to 10 how cool did I think I was? How would you answer these?
Bern is wearing a vintage suit, waistcoat from a Scottish theater group who were selling off their wardrobe, a Bates boater, every Christmas his girlfriend buys him a new bowtie and this is one of them, an Ede and Ravenscroft shirt with detachable collar and Office shoes.

Tom is an English Lit student, his surprise though, was that he studies in Dublin and not London. He is a Londoner and says "there is no place like home". Which for Tom is Shepherds Bush. Tom says his style at the moment is influenced by cult leaders and train drivers. I really liked the little details on the pocket and near the hem of his shirt. He told me he did these himself. Nice touch. Tom's shirt was bought on eBay, trousers and shoes are Birch Loe (I think) and he bought his glasses in Greenwich market.

Faron is a manager of All Saints and unsurprisingly she is head to toe in the brand, except for the Longchamp bag she is carrying. She told me she is a massive art fan and loves Damien Hurst, she also loves music and going to gigs. I have to say her tattoos were amazing and so beautifully done. Her love of art has flowed over onto her arms. Farons tattoos are very traditional, old school based on delicate, intricate gypsy art. The colour is added to make it all more feminine. The owl is her favourite animal and she has hidden the name of her favoutite football team in the same tattoo. Spitalfields is Faron's favourite place in London. Style wise she told me she doesn't follow anyone but herself and wears what she likes to wear from Rock and Roll to feminine chic. After she left I noticed we were on Woodstock St which I thought was very apt with her love of music.

It is just so wonderful when the sun shines. I love it when the light looks like this. I want more. I met Sinead on Oxford street and you don't have to go very far off it for it to look very different to that very busy thoroughfare. Sinead is from Australia and is in London on holiday for a couple of weeks. Not for the Olympics, that was just a coincidence. It was only her 2nd day in London so she had no favourite place here yet so I asked her favourite place in her home town Sydney and that is Surrey Hills. Sinead's surprise was that she is also a photographer. She describes her style as eclectic as it depends on her mood, so changes on a daily basis. Today she is obviously working her inner rock chic with a vintage Harley Davidson T, leather shorts she had made bespoke in Bali, Windsor Smith boots and carrying a Marcs bag.
