er Styles Rocker: (exults, rhythmically) As I indulge in the surreal of that
corrosively cool London Fashion Week fedora, by Azuki my imagination runs, understandably wild...

er Styles Rocker: (continues the relentless onslaught)....Clearly, it’s from another universe. Apart from confessing that its MASTERFUL charm takes my breath away, what can I say, Oh my gosh, I know, I simply adore the aesthete as much as I enjoy Sleeping With Sirens - The Strays

The model walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is RUI,
who shares tea. You may share in your effortlessly elegant, muse worthy style
by coupling a raucous, runway fedora by Azuki, with & Other Stories shoes,
Eine skirt, Rejina Pyo skirt and coat.
RUI: Thank you (smiles
with inordinate pride) www.instagram.com/SidewalkDarlings
er Styles Rocker: So what was your inspiration behind this fashionable, 21st century aesthete you
are flaunting today at the bi-annual sartorial showcase; London Fashion Week?
RUI: Well, the inspiration coming from a VERY powerful woman
er Styles Rocker: (wonders ALOUD, if she’s referring to; [in no particular order] Karen O, Alanis Morissette, Beth Ditto, Hayley Williams of Paramore fame, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm fame, Avril Lavigne, cRIStina Scabbia, Doro Pesch, Avril Lavigne)
RUI:…starting with the shirt, which is from…
er Styles Rocker: Spell
it out, please
RUI: (spells) E I N E
er Styles Rocker: Stylish.
.....Needless to say, that fedora is the bed rock. Like Revolution Radio; it’s loud, brash, audacious and bold yet relaxed. I can’t Falling Down, in its presence(sighs breathlessly) #ThisWildLife; I LOVE it. Just look how that riotous fedora hat over-intoxicates the #FashionWeek inner circle. If the establishment throws it out, that would be a thunderous mistake. Can you imagine the tremor? There would be an instantaneous clamour for it to be drafted back.

needless to say this outerwear looks immersive on you
