DANDY: That jacket is priceless. How beautiful! Not many stylist could afford that, but as far as I'm concerned, consider it bought. Any self-respecting fashionista would use his/her gift cards on that. Who is the designer, Katy?
KATY: I designed it myself.
DANDY: That's awesome. Northampton has talents! ..I love that necklace. Oh my! That's hot, so stunning..I'd rather have that gem instead of a ring. I love it from the first moment, I glimpsed it. Your sartorial taste is impeccable...tell me about that necklace, please.
KATY: It's from a brand called Bjorg and it has a rose gold nail that says "I can do anything"
DANDY: Brilliant. I love that..It's very inspiring. What's the story behind it?
KATY: I have a few of her necklaces with little quotes. They keep me motivated at univesity. My mum got me it for christmas.
DANDY: I love the rings also, please tell me about them
KATY: The silver branch ring is from one of my favourite jewellery designers; Shaun Leane. I just thought it was really unique and beautiful! And the other two are by Monica Vinader stacking rings and I chose them because of the rustic effect of the metal and the stones are so pretty!
DANDY: Wow! What can I say? You have fine tastes in jewellery. The collection is ah..AH..AMAZING. That means alot to me
.....
DANDY: Oh my gosh! I'm in love with that skirt. It's quite exquisite. Finally getting this, after waiting for it, must be a...climax. How would you describe your personal style?
KATY: I don't know...Like Alexa Chung. My look should make it clear that I made an effort, aesthetically-pleasing, yet casual..
DANDY: Her style is fine; so is yours...I'm obsessesd with that blouse. It's seriously, awesome. I'm in complete awe of its presence. I MUST have that! It would team, seamlessly, with chocolate, dinner and flowers...Incidentally, what will you be doing...at Men's Fashion Week today?
KATY: See the catwalks. Look at what others(fashionable attendees) are wearing; it's NICE to be with other fashion people
DANDY: Indeed! So what does fashion mean to you?
KATY: Oh God! I don't know...it's EVERYTHING; being yourself.
DANDY: I love ALL those cool elements; they make me happy. You are a true stylist, fashionista. Adorable styling. I LOVE that style.

DANDY: That coat!..to be completely honest, is the most admirable outerwear, I have seen; ever designed, ever rocked, EVER. It's luscious, sunny silhouette and texture make me weak. What a MAGNIFICENT colour. Good morning coat, oh, COME TO ME....

JOSHWA: Thank you. Everything else that I'm wearing, is from Topman...except the bag.
DANDY: They are ALL nice, thank you...That bow tie! I have to love it; that's so cute. It has made quite an impression in this outfit, on the fashion pack. I don't know how to say this - I'm speechless. BUt here is a question for you - How would you describe your personal style?
JOSHWA: Quite quirky, Gentleman. I LOVE mixing patterns and colours. Eccentric styles.

DANDY: I LOVE the trousers. That's something to relax in, WITH. Oh my Gosh! I want a pair of those. I'm completely in love with that, THAT...GEM. What do you love about London Collections: Men, aka Men's Fashion Week?
JOSHWA: Streetstyles; it's a real reflection of what's happening on thee catwalks.
...
DANDY: I completely agree. Designers tend to walk the sidewalk, when they need a muse...That striking bag! Absolutely YES! Yes, it is awesome. Every self-respecting fashionista loves that. Considering each element you are rocking, which of them would be your favourite?
JOSHWA: The coat...
DANDY: ...Without a doubt....what's the appeal though?
JOSHWA: it's light weight, mulit-functional. It will last me few seasons. I love its color also; others(stylish attendees) are dressed in for darker colours.
