JUDE at London Fashion Week (ss17)

er Styles Rocker: (gasps, breathlessly) Hey Jude! It’s an honour to dish out credit where it’s long overdue. That London Fashion Week fedora hat is, oh my gosh, seriously TEMPTING, a timeless beau, My Champion, Alter Bridge, It LITERALLY looks like the divine bliss all self-respecting stylist dreams of. To sum up, ten thumbs up for that that roguishly mind-blowing fedora crush....Hello! https://www.facebook.com/SidewalkDarlings/
www.allthatrageseries.blogspot.com

er Styles Rocker:....That’s why I gush. It’s my desire to declare it - mine! I hope you don’t mind. First and foremost, that upper crust is pretty special; so special it engulfs me in hallucinated delirium. Hand me some premium bottled water, I must quench this robust thirst, sooner or later. LFW SS17 AW16
Stanga: That's a bit, erm, extreme, if you know what I mean. I mean, it’s only a fedora not a sartorial dream; therefore, I can’t understand why you appear so keen. Hey Jude! Strike a pose, please.
FYI  - The fashionista walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is Jude; a Graphic Designer and dancer. Steal his High-street influenced style by matching a RIOTOUS runway fedora by Zara with Cheap Monday jeans, Timberland sneakers, Montblanc pouch and Criminal Damage long shirt.
….
er Styles Rocker: INSANELY stylish, this ensemble is the epitome of a commanding performance. It’s an unequivocal testament to the fact that at London Fashion Week, the sidewalk is the barometer of the QUINTESSENTIAL fashion week aesthete. I’m REALLY, impressed with the immersive touch of the styling. The fashion week set is so impressed with that INSANELY cool, top fedora hat, no one hear a pin drop.

JUDE: Yes. (beams,  with inordinate pride)
er Styles Rocker: I am HIGHLLY keen to establish the inspiration behind this terribly stylish aesthete.
JUDE: Looking back to the 90s, 60’s – also the 80’s; normally come with the actual (touches fedora, possessively) hat…

er Styles Rocker: …(to be precise) fedora. Hello! It’s an honour to dish out credit where it’s long overdue. That London Fashion Week fedora hat is, oh my gosh, seriously TEMPTING, a timeless beau. It LITERALLY looks like the divine bliss all self-respecting stylist dreams of. To sum up, ten thumbs up for that that roguishly mind-blowing fedora crush. That’s why I gush. It’s my desire to declare it - mine! I hope you don’t mind. First and foremost, that upper crust is pretty special; so special it engulfs me in hallucinated delirium. Hand me some premium bottled water, I must quench this robust thirst, sooner or later. Hello Creed, it’s taking me Higher.

JUDE: I kind of wanted it to come with the fedora. It’s actually Zara…
er Styles Rocker: …No wonder! It boasts the appeal and presence of a sartorial wonder. Oh my gosh! Watch out, I'm so in love with that crotch, of the tree, from which Sidewalk Darlings photographer, Stanga, perches, for a glorious shot, of this sartorial catch! That fedora hat is, clearly, the ideal match for my hero biker jacket and my statement biker boots.
JUDE: Literally, I have always been inspired by zip kind of clothing - the long, extended T shirt
er Styles Rocker: …Just look at those details!
JUDE: …black jeans…I didn’t want to stick to black (colour palette)…..
er Styles Rocker: …I can see the zip details at the end (tip of shirt)…The colour of the shoes is bold, loud and psychedelic; a superb quality. Just have a glance at how beautifully it contrasts with the outfits# wholly midnight colour palette
JUDE: …so I contrast it (black colour palette) with the turquoise timberland (sneakers)
er Styles Rocker: Completely blows me away
JUDE: The ornaments on my hand adds more emphasis to the look
er Styles Rocker: It does! Precisely! Look! That’s why I appear helplessly hooked… …
JUDE: Last but not least, let’s say - the handbag…
er Styles Rocker: …(you mean) Oversized pouch. I really like it…So how do you describe your personal style?
JUDE: I would say, maybe smart casual, if that makes sense. Mix it up; kind of casual, because I am a dancer.

er Styles Rocker: Yeah. Flexibility and versatility are of paramount importance when styling an attire for London Fashion Week…So the WHOLEsome fashion week collective, including myself, of course, are incredibly lucky to spot these fashionable clothes that you are rocking, understandably, we are super keen to establish what other elements are ensconced in your wardrobe?
JUDE: To be fair, it’s roughly smarts as well. As a Graphic Designer, we have to dress in a certain way – shoes and tie. Try to get the whole kind of smartness.  I do have a lot of jeans, chinos, smart-wear and also urban….
er Styles Rocker: …That sounds pretty awe-inspiring, creative and sartorially varied…So what fashion brands are you into at the moment?
JUDE: Actually, now I shop at Zara because I think Zara is just the look for me
er Styles Rocker: Sidewalk Darlings endorse that OPULENT observation.
JUDE: …I LIKE h&M, Topman, I really think they have the kind of look. But when it comes to smart-wear, I like to go to Hugo Boss
er Styles Rocker: To be honest, that fashion house is the boss. Its creation is synonymous with pure class. Cross my heart, you look the part. If you look further down the sidewalk, you'll see literally TONS of well-dressed people, photographers and fashion editors and curious onlookers, just milling about. Please explain what on earth is happening this week.
JUDE: It's London Fashion Week
er Styles Rocker: Oh my gosh! What in heaven's name is that, if you don’t mind me asking?

JUDE:...People are not just taking pictures, they are exposing their fashion...what's out (in vogue), what's trendy
er Styles Rocker: Precisely! On the other hand, the established and emerging designers are showcasing their spring/summer 2017 collections. At the end of the catwalk, some designers like Ralph Lauren and Burberry will be selling some of their creations as part of the 'see now, buy now' revolution.
JUDE: Yes
er Styles Rocker: On the sidewalk, the fashion week style plates, like yourself,  are sharing their personal styles...
JUDE: We are here to see, not just what others are wearing, but also the collections. If you look at the history of London Fashion Week, you'll see that a lot has changed. It's an AWESOME day. I have met, photographers, like yourself
er Styles Rocker: And we enjoy meeting classically stylish plates like yourself. How many fedoras are you hiding in your wardrobe, incidentally?
JUDE: Erm. I have two, actually
er Styles Rocker: TWO! Oh my gosh! Most fashionistas have just one. Why do you have so many?
JUDE: It has to match the outfit. I like coordination
er Styles Rocker: Coordination! To be blatant, that's the essence of Fashion Week styling

JUDE: It's good to have not just one
er Styles Rocker: I agree, COMPLETELY. What do you love about fedoras?
JUDE: I guess the whole look of it. The way it makes you look. It feels good, it looks good
er Styles Rocker: .. Smells good, taste good. You know what, that sounds exceptionally good. All self-resecting fashion week stylist should follow suit
JUDE: That's the way I would describe it (apparent fascination with fedoras)
er Styles Rocker: A fedora adds a new dimension to an outfit...I want to ask you now. If you take away 2 fedoras from 3 fedoras, how may fedoras would you have?
JUDE: (Confidently) ONE! (laughs out)
er Styles Rocker: No! That's not the right answer
JUDE: (laughs)
er Styles Rocker: Listen! I'll repeat the question, so please feel free to try again.
JUDE:So you take away two fedoras...
er Styles Rocker:...Wait! Let me ask you (repeats question)
JUDE: if you take away...(blurts out, confidently) ZERO! I believe
er Styles Rocker: (guffaws, uproariously) Listen again, closely (repeats question)
JUDE:...Take away 2 fedoras from 3 fedoras?

er Styles Rocker: Yes, how many fedoras do YOU have then?
JUDE: I have?
er Styles Rocker: Yes! if you take away two from three
JUDE: (thinks REALLY hard, then blurts out, with supreme confidence) ONE!
er Styles Rocker: No!
JUDE: It's not ONE?
er Styles Rocker: No! Look at these 3 fingers; assume that they are 3 fedoras. Now, take away two fingers; which represent two fedoras. How many fedoras do you have now?
JUDE: (thinks super hard, again, then, with persuasive conviction, gives AN answer)
er Styles Rocker: NO! (laughs obstreperously) Actually, the right answer is TWO.
JUDE: Two?
er Styles Rocker: er Styles Rocker: Yes, please! (explains the answer)
JUDE: Okay. (laughs) I get it now.
er Styles Rocker: No problem. We still LOVE your stupendous style.
JUDE: Thank you
er Styles Rocker: You are welcome…Before you walk the London Fashion Week sidewalk, may we have your permission to publish this video on our youtube show called Sidewalk Darlings?

Olga at London Fashion Week

er Styles Rocker: (enthuses, breathlessly) You are super lucky to be rocking that raucous London Fashion Week fedora; what a STUPENDOUS gift from the atelier, stylish and edgy, the aesthetic boasts a striking resemblance to Paramore Misery Business. It is far too stunning. Oh my gosh! That's the definition of perfection. Which self-respecting stylist extraordinaire could resit falling in love with that fine gem. Heaven is missing this fine specimen! It can plant itself in my fedora collection, any day, all day. If it was a cell, I wouldn't want it to be replaced. NO other cell could take its place 


... LFW SS17 AW16
Impulsy: Don’t get so excited. What you are saying makes NO sense. Wait…It MAKES sense
The fashionista extraordinaire walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is Olga from Russia. Currently a fashion intern, she previously studied at the prestigious University of the Arts London. Imitate her inimitable style by matching a runway fedora by Topshop with Valentin Yudashkin jeans, Artur Lomakin sweater and The Row bag.

It’s such a sartorial wonder!!...


(taxi passes, noisily)

er Styles Rocker: …Can you, please  tell me the inspiration for the sprezzatura aesthetic you are unveling at London Fashion Week?

Olga: erm. I was just inspired by the 60’ and 70’s, so I just got those wide-legged jeans. This is…bag that I bought recently

er Styles Rocker: What bag is it, please?

Olga: Coach Ellie

er Styles Rocker: It’s a beautiful handbag. I LOVE the bold silhouette, the understated yet strong and appealing hue.

Olga: Thank you

er Styles Rocker: It’s quite minimal and oozes inordinate flair. That jumper! Or is it a sweater?

Olga: The jumper is from a Russian brand

er Styles Rocker: What’s the name of the Russian brand?

Olga: It’s called Alena Phillieo

er Styles Rocker: An you spell it out for me, please

Olga: That’s Alena Phillieo (spells) A, L, E, N, A…

er Styles Rocker: Yeah

Olga: .P, H, I, L, L, I, E, O
              
er Styles Rocker: The slouch aesthetic is immersive; I LOVE it. It’s quire pared back and minimal; quite effortless -  and, erm, flair.

Olga: (smiles, thinly)


er Styles Rocker: Oh my gosh! That fedora. What fashion house is the designer?

Olga: Just Topshop

er Styles Rocker: No wonder! It’s a pulsating as the Rainbow, I Surrender. What do you LOVE about fedoras?

Olga: I just think it goes so well with all the outfits.

er Styles Rocker: And how many do you possess?

Olga: About six

er Styles Rocker: Why do you have so many?

Olga: They are different colors, different (touches fedora, proudly) kind of shades

er Styles Rocker: Shape is EVERYTHING! So you team these fedoras with different elements and different colours, separates that you are wearing

Olga: Sorry

er Styles Rocker: Because you match your different colour fedora hats with different…

Olga:…yes…

er Styles Rocker: …elements that you are wearing

Olga: (nods)

er Styles Rocker: Charming! What do you LOVE about London Fashion Week?

Olga: (gushes) It’s just so many (emphatically) people you can meet here and everyone looks stylish, just the whole atmosphere, and the shows (catwalks) are amazing, OF COURSE. I have been to a few today. People in the industry are here. Things are happening. It’s just AMAZING.

er Styles Rocker: Yeah.

Olga: And…It’s AMAZING!

er Styles Rocker: What shows have you seen today?

Olga: I have been to Mary Katrantzou, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi , Anya Hindmarch

er Styles Rocker: Wow! And which showcase was your ultimate object of desire?

Olga: I would say Anya Hindmarch

er Styles Rocker: Why?

Olga: Just the way it was all done…like the moving platform…the way the models came out walking and the styles were amazing, of course. It was emotional; it left an impression on me.

er Styles Rocker: Excellent! Where are you from, incidentally?

Olga: I’m Russian!

er Styles Rocker: We LOVE Russia.

Olga: (smiles)]

er Styles Rocker: Have you been to Moscow Fashion Week?

Olga: Yes! (nods, smilingly) I have.

er Styles Rocker: How would you compare that showcase with its London counterpart; London Fashion Week?

Olga: London is way busier, way bigger brands, more people and it is kind of more prestige, London Fashion Week is really easy to...(speech drowns out by sidewalk din) Yeah, Moscow Fashion Week is not so big and it’s not so…(traffic noise) but I like it.

er Styles Rocker: Amazing! Is there someone in Russia whose style you admire?

OLGA: Erm. I think…

er Styles Rocker: spell it out for me please.

OLGA: M I R A D E M A

er Styles Rocker: What does she do? Who is she?

OLGA: She is running 24/7. It’s like a website for fashion….

er Styles Rocker: How do you define her style?

OLGA: Her style?

er Styles Rocker: Yeah. You said that her style inspires you, right?

OLGA: Yes. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly inspired by someone. There are people who I like; the way the dress. But I wear what I like. I wear something when I want to wear it. It’s not that I’m taking inspiration from another person.

er Styles Rocker: Your style is effortless and it’s very immersive. Your creativity is in clear evidence. Clearly, you have your own styling ideas and innovation, We really appreciate you sharing your style with Sidewalk Darlings, today, at London Fashion Week
