Yudu Zeng at London Fashion Week

Mr BingBing: (faintly) Nice outfit Miss Zeng...

mr STYLES ULTRA: (rhapsodises breathlessly) ...STYLE alert! Super style! Who on earth did the styling? This ‪‎London Fashion Week‬; ‪#‎LFW‬ fashionista boasts a super sense of style, clearly. Cross my heart, each sartorial element is a wearable work of art, an original, erm, investment; so incredibly priceless, like a runway ‪#‎fedora‬, not even $100,000,000(plus tax) is sufficient. How OBSTREPEROUS it looks! It's so HOT, it melts my retina. I know alot about art, when I see it; that aesthetic is sprezzatura style at its best...

Mr BingBing:...ENOUGH!

WALKING the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is Yudu Zeng, an ‪#‎IMG‬ model from China. Steal her fashionable, androgynous aesthetic by teaming a statement clutch by ‪#‎Chloé‬ with Neither Nor jumper, Zara coat, Nike sneakers and H&M jeans. Mr STYLES ULTRA, 'THE' cheerleader for both Fedora and London Fashion Week, a student of Style and Aesthetics at the School of Frock, is self-styled in a model fedora by ‪#‎AllSaints‬, partnered with ‪#‎UNQLO‬ dress shirt, ‪#‎CommeDesGarcons‬ sweater,‪#‎Primark‬ striped tie and New Look scarf.

mr STYLES ULTRA:...jacket, no, it's a coat! Where is it from?

Yudu Zeng: Coat is from Zara

mr STYLES ULTRA: That Coat looks so stunning; cross my heart, it' the essence of the outfit, er, life itself. I want that. In fact, the whole Fashion Week set needs it. I would give up a million dollars for that accessory. Wow! Handbag?

Yudu Zeng: Bag from Chloé

Mr BingBing: Nice bag...

mr STYLES ULTRA: (interrupts)...Super BEAUTIFUL bag. Yes. it sums up the quintessential Fashion Week aesthetic; a work of art element that deserves to be framed and showcased in the Gallery of Sidewalk Darlings. I simply LOVE it. that aesthetic deprives me off the right words to describe how obstreperous it makes me feel. Okay. And where is your jumper from?
