er Styles Rocker: (gushes breathlessly) That INSANELY cool, Van gogh hued fedora! Just wow! In other worlds of extremes, a London fashion week stylist needs an ethereal aesthete, that can slither or fall, seamlessly and effortlessly, in between

er Styles Rocker:....In other worlds, where most relives the unquenchable lust and fire, in a bad romance, where only the chosen few stands a remote chance, of overcoming the tempestuous avalanche, the WHOLEsome fashion week set notices now, that hot fedora hat, is is an efficacious counterbalance.

er Styles Rocker: (enthuses rhythmically) Oh my goodness! That Picasso tinged outfit looks so indefatigably fashionable. Incidentally, who on earth is the designer for that fedora hat. You should be boasting because, it's seriously, the most seminal element in the ensemble; perhaps fashioned for London Fashion Week or a Mr Universe Style pageant, or both. Every single stylish outfit deserves a visual treat of its caliber. Oh gosh! Look at the silhouette and texture! What a wonder fedora!

DAKOTA: (explains
er Styles Rocker’s head-turner gushing about swoon-worthy fedoras and London Fashion Week)
He feels like a new man when he spots an ethereal fedora. Be careful you catch
the fever. Strike a pose, please
The influencer
walking the sidewalk at London Fashion AW16 Week is; Yeohan Kim, an actor, model and Presenter
His style is more than basic, it’s erm, EXTREME; a dream. It’s none of this
stylist’s business if you steal his modish fashion sense. Just do it
then, you realist. Simply couple a runway fedora by Nick Fouquet with Topman
scarf, Gap waistcoat, Religion Clothing shirt, River Island tie, Burton
trousers and Hudson Penley boots.
er Styles Rocker:
(checks out outfit, teases) Why on earth are you dressed in this fashion today?
(checks out his
outfit) What’s wrong with it? (tilts head backwards, guffaws, thunderously)
er Styles Rocker:
Every single aspect of this aesthetic is as right as rain…
…My style…I call
myself a dapper gentleman. As Tom Ford said “Dressing well is good manners.”
er Styles Rocker:
That’s super profound. I agree wholeheartedly.
Today I’m wearing…
I went High-street today. High-street is cool, so you don’t need designer
er Styles Rocker:
I don’t beg to differ. That’s a proper assertion. Yes.
This (grabs scarf
by the, erm…) is Topman. This waistcoat is *Gap. This shirt is from Religion. I
LIKE it
C
er Styles Rocker:
So do I. I LIKE it; stupendously…
This (tie) is
River Island…Crystal
er Styles Rocker:
Crystal! Wow! I’d rock that now, all day, any day…Magnificent tie; I LOVE it
…Boots from Burton.
Trousers from Burton …and boots… I’m into skulls so these (brandishes a string
of bangles) are skull bracelets
er Styles Rocker:
Wow! Those are AMAZING accessories; stupendous, quite momentous. Every single
aspect, every single element is so STRIKING, it’s the stuff of freaks; I mean
DREAMS, legends..
…I got the scarf
from New York
er Styles Rocker:
Stylish! How about that FLAMING fedora you are rocking there, spin a bit so we
can have a better view of the beautiful details. I LOVE feather-looking details.
Excellence!
I LOVE supporting
the best of British brands… I’d wear that. I don’t like to wear wat everyone is
wearing…
er Styles
Rocker:...I LOVE supporting the best of British bands. In fact, I support the
best of bands wherever they are from…Why are you so in love fedoras?
Because I have a
hat head. I tried the (gesticulate with hands) top hat…Egg head…Big rims
ones suit me – Since wearing hats in fashion – Pharrel Williams – Old school,
rude boy – 70’s, 60’s
er Styles Rocker:
Oh, maybe that’s where Pharrel Williams garnered his inspiration for the fedora
aesthetic from. You see, sprezzatura styling relies on muses relayed from one
generation to the next. This explains why the retro aesthete is perennially in
vogue.
…School days, I
used to wear just blazers and tie
er Styles Rocker:
Yes. So did I…
I HATED that
er Styles Rocker:
Speak for yourself – I DIDN’T!
But now, all I
wear are blazers and waistcoats
er Styles Rocker:
Now you are appreciating the sartorial inclination that was instilled in you
then… These days, I tend to rock fedoras, biker jackets and biker boots. Just
check out my photo shoots…
…David Gandy and
Russel Brand
er Styles Rocker:
They are style icons extraordinaire, indeed. What aspects of their stylings
appeal to you? What, in particular, do you admire about their sartorial
aesthetics?
I LOVE their
styles because it’s GENTLEMAN!
er Styles Rocker:
What do you mean by ‘gentleman? What’s the quintessential gentleman’s
aesthetic?
Suited and booted!
Classy.
er Styles Rocker:
You are channeling those styles excellent, brilliantly. London Fashion Week!
What in heaven’s name is it all about?
London Fashion
Week - is fashion, style and there is also carnival like we saw earlier. I LOVE
when London Fashion Week is in town because everyone is well-dressed. You can
tell it’s London Fashion Week
er Styles Rocker:
So it’s the greatest show on earth, greatest show in London then?
Yeah!
er Styles Rocker: …Showcasing
the best…
… of British
designs – younger generation like to dress like their favorite bands –
at Fashion Week, everyone has their own unique look
er Styles Rocker:
Speaking about personal styles and individual aesthetic, I’d like you to describe
my personal style as you are seeing it now, for the benefit of the fashionistas
watching now, especially if they are curious about the aesthetic of the style I
am rocking.
You are an AMAZING
photographer – What you are wearing is quite dapper, casual…
er Styles Rocker:
(hurriedly corrects) SMART casual…
…I see colours…
er Styles Rocker:
That’s accurate. However, of course, my SPREZZATURA outfit features a FLAMING
fedora hat
(nods, murmurs
satiety) Hmm!
er Styles Rocker:
What in particular, do you LIKE about matching a fedora with other statement
elements in your outfit? What’s the role of a fedora…
Because I have hat
hair
er Styles Rocker:
That sound like a load of hot hair – what do you really mean?
(yanks off fedora
to reveal out of control hair)
er Styles Rocker:
Oh, I see what you mean now. Yes. Completely!
(laughs out,
boisterously)
er Styles Rocker:
What should aspiring fashionistas wear to London Fashion Week?
Just something
that’s comfortable; that you are comfortable in
er Styles Rocker:
Stylish! Also.
Yes!.. Because I
ate carrying things; everything is in my pockets
er Styles Rocker:
Charming! Out of interest, how many designers do you think are unveiling their
offerings at London Fashion Week this season
This season?
er Styles Rocker: Yes, please!
Loads!
er Styles Rocker:
Guess! Just give me a number
Spring summer or…
er Styles Rocker:
Spring summer, of course
Spring summer
er Styles Rocker:
Yes! The catwalk presentations that are happening this season – right now – as
we speak
2016 – I think
it’s like – between 50 to 100
er Styles Rocker:
Actually, it’s 140. Nevertheless, your fashion sense is faultless
I was close
er Styles Rocker: Yes. Close enough
(laughs)
er Styles Rocker: So, erm, I’ll give you kudos for your
attempt. So, before you walk the sidewalk
Yes
er Styles Rocker: Once again, your style, especially
that fedora, is highly immersive
Thank you
er Styles Rocker: The, erm, aesthetic you are portraying
is clearly awe-inspiring; quite magnificent…
(interrupts
without notice) …but I got… (flaunts intense red socks) I have thermals
underneath, I have long johns… (laughs)
er Styles Rocker: …To illuminate and warm the
atmosphere. Super stylish, in addition to being super functional
Yes!
er Styles Rocker: Warming! How stupendous is that! No
other style can match the one that you have hatched
I have a bit of
colour (show off those, erm, red socks, again)
er Styles Rocker: A bit? That’s more than a bit, it’s,
erm, FIERCE, intense, vermilion, bold – Just like the ensemble’s WHOLEsome
aesthetic
…Red doesn’t suit
all types of bodies
er Styles Rocker: …Yes,. It depends on what other hues
the stylists are coordinating it with. Yes, You have to opt for colours that…
(interrupts)
…also, I don’t wear lots of colours because in London, it’s polluted. It
gets dusty. If you wear dark colours, it won’t get dirty
er Styles Rocker: …easily, you have to select a style
that is suitable…
It takes me 2
minutes to dress
er Styles Rocker: Wow! You are like an export, I mean
EXPERT, then. Two minutes is a record, in sartorial history
I just put on some
music – whatever I feel like
er Styles Rocker: Genius! For the record, I put on music
and fedoras, only if they ROCK… So what other gems are in your wardrobe. In
other worlds, what other super fine clothes. I am keen to discover the other
delights, especially the fedoras
Loads of
waistcoats, shirts. Now I’m older – I’m 29, I only wear smart shirts…
er Styles Rocker: …That’s a smart move…
…You get treated
better – You dress better as you grow older. You’ll NEVER see me in casual.
Casual is for gym or in the bedroom
er Styles Rocker: When a fashionista, like yourself,
walk the sidewalk, the style and aesthetic has to be, proper sharp…
…and also, you
never know…
er Styles Rocker: …(interrupts) …immaculately turned out
and, erm, highly heeled…
…You could get
photographed somewhere. You don’t want to…(alluded to industry he works in)
er Styles Rocker:
…(interrupts) If you mind me asking, what industry is that?
I’m in the
creative industry – acting, presenting and modelling.
er Styles Rocker:
Oh yeah yeah yeahs! One should always look the part, especially when you are
out; just walking the sidewalk – ALWAYS look the part. Because you never know
for sure, which Fashion Editor could cross your door - It could be Anna Wintour
…Another reason
why I wear a hat is because it’s manly. I have the man bag so I get the man
hats…
er Styles Rocker:
…And you pull off the fedora aesthetic effortlessly, with flair and, erm,
fearlessly…
…Before, I didn’t
like hats. I APPRECIATE HATS NOW.
er Styles Rocker:
Okay. Your excellent taste in fashion is super clear then.

SIDES
