er Styles Rocker: (howls rhythmically) The key elements that makeup this London Fashion Week ensemble are really stylish. Fashion Editors, however, murmur
something to the effect that, it’s that colossally scorching fedora that’s
making their hearts flutter. Like #KurtCobain of Nirvana fame, it ROCK. The
point is, it’s the heart of the matter, the heart of the attire. When it’s no
longer in my sight, I’ll feel lost, crestfallen and er, heart-broken…That
fedora! ALL self-respecting fashion editor dream of treating themselves to
that, erm, dream come true sartorial element. LFW SS16

The Fashion Editor walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is
Elizabeth, the fashion blogger who writes LV Fashion. Adept at experimenting
with different styles and fashion brands, inspired by the catwalk, she ensures
she looks the part for London Fashion Week, erm, sidewalk. Follow suit, in
other words, steal from her, by coupling a pugnacious fedora by Janessa Leone
with Never Fully Dressed coat, Miss Selfridge belt, Topshop socks, bag, jeans,
Topshop and ASOS boots.

ELIZABETH: (checks out her outfit from head to toe) My
outfit! The feather coat is from Never Fully Dressed…
er Styles Rocker: Sorry! What fashion brand is it?
ELIZABETH: (repeats brand’s name)…It’s an online brand
er Styles Rocker: Spell it out for me, please
ELIZABETH: Never! Okay, chuckles) (Spells) N E…
er Styles Rocker: Oh, NEVER! I understand…
ELIZABETH: ..(emphatically) FULLY!...
er Styles Rocker: …I get it now, thanks
ELIZABETH: (smiles) My sweater is from OASIS. Belt from Miss
Selfridge. My jeans are from Topshop… My socks are from Topshop. Also, my bag
is from Topshop
er Styles Rocker: Oh my gosh! It seems like every single
element you are rocking are from Topshop. They are all immensely Immersive. I
LOVE that psychedelic colour (orange handbag) The Future is orange, indeed…
ELIZABETH: …Boots are from ASOS. My Jewelry is Fossil.
Pandora ring. My sunglasses is also from Topshop. I have lots of Topshop going
on
er Styles Rocker: Clearly! That’s where you shop until you
drop, clearly!
ELIZABETH: My hat is from a charity so I don’t t know where
it’s from (chortles)
er Styles Rocker: er Styles Rocker: (howl rhythmically like
(#BIFFYCLYRO) Cross my heart, this London Fashion Week fedora hat is
seriously, a work of art; in other words, a masterpiece of Poldark. Checking out such a
desirable statement element is immensely enjoyable? Who on earth is your
personal shopper? I must meet him or her? Oh my gosh! I must have that raucous
fedora! It spells beauty and desire. I'm
in love, I'm sure. Let me paraphrase, I
NEED that obstreperous whopper, now more than ever. Don't you just LOVE it
also? I bet my boots you DO. What fashion house is the designer?
ELIZABETH: (shakes head) I have no idea, sorry
er Styles Rocker: It’s an IMMERSIVE, nevertheless
ELIZABETH: (laughs happily)
er Styles Rocker: In fact, the WHOLEsome outfit is immersive.
Understandably, I'm really intrigued with the key elements you are ROCKING
today, particularly that fedora. Against this backdrop, I am highly keen on
discovering the inspiration behind this marvelous aesthetic you are unveiling
at London Fashion Week
ELIZABETH: I wanted to create a contrast between the colours.
You have this kind of raspberry red…
er Styles Rocker: …Claret, burgundy…
ELIZABETH: …The feathers have a different texture. Jazz them
up with a pop of orange. A simple black jumper. I NEVER wear a lot of
jewellery. I just wear a watch and my ring.
er Styles Rocker: …In another phrase - super minimal;
minimalist!
ELIZABETH: Yea! Quite minimal The belt ties it all together .
I always wear a Topshop jeans
er Styles Rocker: This one is super flattering. Gorgeous
silhouette, texture and seams, if you know what I mean
ELIZABETH: Thank you very much
er Styles Rocker: The aesthetic is, clearly, well thought
out, expressed beautifully
ELIZABETH: Yea! I wanted to create a little colour on the
last day of London Fashion week; finish it (Fashion Week) well
er Styles Rocker: Well, you have accomplished that
astounding feat, persuasively. That impeccable style places the WHOLEsome
Fashion Week collective under a spell. The expression spells flair and
panache
ELIZABETH: Thank you so much
er Styles Rocker: Thank YOU so much! I'm SUPER
impressed. The sartorial aesthete is REALLY stupendous…Incidentally, do
would you define your personal style?
ELIZABETH: Personal style? It depends on what mood I'm in,
to be honest (chuckles) Sometimes I'm more adventurous (hold on
to either side of coat, checks out her outfit) as you can tell today
er Styles Rocker: ….Stupendous, indeed…
ELIZABETH: ..It’s the last day of Fashion Week so everyone
wants to be snapped. Other times, I’ll be wearing like a turtle-neck sweater….
er Styles Rocker: …timeless, classic….
ELIZABETH: …and black jeans, black boots. Go for more
feminine looks; like dresses and skirts. I wouldn't say I have a
particular type of style. I'm quite versatile and diverse. I try
different brands, different styles
er Styles Rocker: You remind me of a style chameleon
ELIZABETH: Yea, literally…
er Styles Rocker: …style genius at the same time. We are
COMPLETELY impressed…So we have spotted these immersive elements that make up
this winner ensemble, now we are highly intrigued to discover the other
sartorial gems in your concept collection.
ELIZABETH: What other gems do I have in my wardrobe?
er Styles Rocker: The answer is Yes! Apart from the ones you
are rocking right now.
ELIZABETH: I actually have a Céline phantom bag; like a grey
sort of color. I dint wear it today because it’s huge.
er Styles Rocker: As huge as that fedora on your head…
ELIZABETH: …too huge to carry. It’s quite good for travelling
er Styles Rocker: It sounds QUITE immersive. What else?
ELIZABETH: What else do I have? I'm trying to
think. I LOVE, like the classic Birkenstock for summer time. I wear them
with frayed jeans. Erm, I have a lot of sunglasses (giggles) I LOVE them.
er Styles Rocker: Oh, how immersive! This pair suits you, er,
creatively, aesthetically.
ELIZABETH: I have quite a few fedoras. This one (touches hat
tenderly) in light green that I'm wearing. I have a burgundy one…
er Styles Rocker: Oh my gosh! So do I. I tend to refer to the color
of mine as CLARET, however. It’s by Christy’s Hats.
ELIZABETH: …and a copper colored one.
er Styles Rocker: Excellence!
ELIZABETH: I have a blackberry one. We will see if I find the
right one
er Styles Rocker: To be honest, YOU WILL! It’s out there,
somewhere; in someone else’s capsule collection or a store. It deserves the
coveted spot in your concept wardrobe, so it’s definitely worth waiting
for…Seriously, why do you have so many fedoras, though? The WHOLEsome fashion
week set wants to know, also.
ELIZABETH: I just think, WELL, my mom told me that I should
wear hats (or is it ‘fedoras suit me?) She persuaded me to invest, NOT INVEST,
get quite a few in a ray of colours
er Styles Rocker: Well, this is testament to the fact that
fashionistas should always listen to their mothers, especially…
ELIZABETH: …Exactly!
er Styles Rocker: …especially on this sartorial occasion. Imagine,
I am spotting you rocking a fedora for the very first time, yet, what can I
say, the effortless fashion in which you portray the aesthetic , has blown me
away. Nevertheless, I am elated to be here, and not somewhere else. Honestly, I
think, you should definitely think about investing in some more of
these psychedelically hue elements.
ELIZABETH: Oh, thank you
er Styles Rocker: What’s the appeal of London Fashion Week to you,
personally?
Erm. I'm a Fashion Marketing student…
er Styles Rocker: …and Style Professor…
ELIZABETH: …so, as well as being here fro the shows (catwalk)
I’m also taking street styles (snapping). I’ve seen quite a few shows. I went
to Ashish, David Korma, Alexander McQueen, erm, I've been to
Peter Pilotto. A LOT of shows (giggles)
er Styles Rocker: Indeed! So what’s your impression? What show is
your favorite catwalk presentation?
ELIZABETH: Which one is my favorite?
er Styles Rocker: Yes. What showcase?
ELIZABETH: It will be subjective, but my personal opinion – Ashish.
Check out the pictures, on google…
er Styles Rocker: …Sidewalk Darlings…
ELIZABETH: …Whatever! It’s AMAZING!
er Styles Rocker: Well, we have seen the catwalk and our
impression harmonizes with yours, astoundingly. Great style minds, think alike,
indeed
ELIZABETH: Yea! The disco hair…
er Styles Rocker: …If so many Fashion Editors are echoing the same
eloquent sentiments, then there is more than an element of truth in existence.
ELIZABETH: …The models having fun
er Styles Rocker: …Yea. Quite edgy, QUITE 21st century aesthetic….
ELIZABETH: ….Ashish is…
er Styles Rocker: Meant to be fun, playful
ELIZABETH: Exactly! Ashish,ake light of it. That’s why I
LOVE the brand. I LOVE Ashish
er Styles Rocker: On the other hand, that’s sheer excellence, opulence.
You are not their only cheerleader. That proves that you boast the most
exquisite taste…
ELIZABETH: I think Ashish will…
er Styles Rocker: …Their creations is sheer brilliance; they
deserve to….
ELIZABETH: …They are upcoming. People LOVE them.
er Styles Rocker: Yea! Yea! Fashionable people like yourself. We
all do. Finally, Burberry is changing its heart and mind by making its
creations available for sale, immediately after the catwalk showcase, instead
of 6 months later. What are your thoughts on this contemplated move?
ELIZABETH: Actually, not to name-drop, but I was backstage at
Burberry yesterday. I didn't get to see the show but, I was
running late, so I I went backstage and overheard Christopher Bailey, having
this interview. I dint want to get too close but…
er Styles Rocker: Yeah! I understand
ELIZABETH: I didn't want to be seen as eavesdropping
er Styles Rocker: Completely!
ELIZABETH: He was saying he wants to make fashion much more
intimate. So you can order what was on the catwalk yesterday, from the Regent
Street store, right now!
er Styles Rocker: Wow! [sings Hysteria (I want it now) by Muse] I
want it NOW….
ELIZABETH: …As soon as the show is over, you can order it,
feel the textures. I think that’s amazing.
er Styles Rocker: Personally, I think that’s an immersive concept.
No need to wait until 6 months after the catwalk presentation
ELIZABETH: Exactly! Fashion is moving so fast…
er Styles Rocker: …like BOLT…
ELIZABETH: …They are definitely keeping up
er Styles Rocker: 21st century style
ELIZABETH: Burberry is doing well...
er Styles Rocker:...YOU! Are doing well, as well; in the style
stakes; with your sprezzatura style and insightful analysis, in fact, all of
your sartorial offerings. We really really appreciate and embrace your style,
and importantly, your time.
Thank you very much!
er Styles Rocker: Before you walk the sidewalk, may we have your
permission to publish this video on our youtube show called Sidewalk Darlings?
ELIZABETH: Yeah! That’s fine. Sidewalk Darlings! Perfect! ELIZABETH: I'm Lizzie
