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.

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 Vince. My blog is LV Fashion. My Instagram is, twitter is  the same. I’m a part time blogger  and full time Fashion Marketing student . Third year, so I’m looking to graduate soon.
