er Styles Rocker: ...Oh Gosh! I'm spotting this ENCHANTING element twice in an hour; lucky me; HENCE THE SMILING. just wow! i need IT. I'd rock the hell out of it, matched, ONLY, with my coveted biker jacket and biker boots. Without hesitation, that perfection (texture, design, color, etcetera) that emblem of, erm, significant accessories, is catapulted to the top of my autumn/winter wish list.
Suzanne: (explains to Anna) Styles Rocker, that's er Styles Rocker for you, ADORES fedoras and London Fashion Week so much, he mythologizes them every season. NOwplaying on Sidewalk Darlings, erm, FM, Gold Lion by Yeah Yeah Yeahs and crushcrushcrush by Paramore. Strike a pose, please.
The fashionista walking the sidewalk at London
Fashion Week is Anna, a student of Architectural History and English Literature in Dublin. Since,
like us, you are visibly moved by her minimalism tinged outfit, go ahead and
steal the idea. All you have to do, is match a runway fedora by Zara with other
statement elements; Urban Outfitters metallic shoes, AMERICAN VINTAGE coat, Zara
blouse and denim jeans.
er Styles Rocker: First of all, please state your name and what you do – please
ANNA: My name is Anna and I
study in Dublin
er Styles Rocker: Excellence!
We LOVE Dublin. And what subject are you studying?
ANNA: Architectural History and English Literature
er Styles Rocker: So I'm so mesmerized by your stylish outfit
ANNA: Thank you so much
(strikes a pose, in appreciation)
er Styles Rocker: I really
would like to hear about the inspiration behind this ultra delectable aesthetic
that you are showing of now. You should be proud of the styling.
ANNA: The aesthetic is a bit of minimalism and a bit, kind of vintage, I guess; with a little bit of a sparkle…
er Styles Rocker:..It boast A
LOT of sparkle; since it features that ultra desirable fedora. Oh gosh! What a style marvel…
ANNA: … And a little bit of
everything, I guess. Not too much, not too little
er Styles Rocker: You clearly
striking the right balance. How immersive! How accomplished this feat so
effortlessly is a mystery. Look! That striking fedora is the epitome of
sartorial symmetry…London Fashion Week! What is it all about?
ANNA: London Fashion Week is
about expressing yourself. It’s about designers giving their own ideas of the
world – and political issues. For individuals as well; like myself – a personal statement. It’s your personality. How to express yourself
er Styles Rocker: Yes
ANNA: …express yourself to
the world
er Styles Rocker: Quintessentially; that is London Fashion Week. Thanks for clearing up the apparent mystery..Besides, you are expressing your personality and individuality so validly and magnificently. Just look at that awe-inspiring style
ANNA: (does a half twirl, in
appreciation)
er Styles Rocker:
Pertinently, I'm highly desirous of discovering the fashion labels that you out features. Fedora first,
ANNA: (touches fedora,
lovingly) The hat?
er Styles Rocker: Yes, please! What fashion house designed that gigantic gem? It float my boat. Where on earth did you discover that dreamboat..suits the other statement elements in the outfit. I have never seen a fedora this dapper and perfect for all weather, for seasons. I want one.
ANNA: Zara
er Styles Rocker: I LOVE it.
Zara fedoras always INSANELY cool and edgy…Out of interest, how do you possess?
ANNA: This is like my first
one.
er Styles Rocker: What! What
took so long? (coos, breathlessly) There is absolutely no point in rocking an
ethereally chic outfit like this, if that dreamy fedora by Zara was not
incorporated in the styling. Oh Gosh! I'm spotting this ENCHANTING element twice
in an hour; lucky me; HENCE THE SMILING. just wow! i need IT. I'd rock the hell
out of it, matched, ONLY, with my coveted biker jacket and biker boots. Without
hesitation, that perfection (texture, design, color, etcetera) that emblem of,
erm, significant accessories, is catapulted to the top of my autumn/winter wish
list.
ANNA: I honestly don’t know.
I’m still searching
er Styles Rocker: I think you
have found the one. Just look at it. Oh gosh! It looks so effortlessly
elegant and, erm, poised. So if you are still searching; it must be for some
more of these sartorial gems.
ANNA: (nods)
er Styles Rocker: What in
particular do you enjoy about matching this one with the other atmospheric
elements in your statement outfit?
ANNA: It gives it a little edge. I think if there was no hat, it would be just simple. It gives it a little
bit of an edge
er Styles Rocker: In other worlds, something would me missing if you were not rocking a fedora
ANNA: Yes!
er Styles Rocker: I agree
with you, wholeheartedly, hurriedly…That coat!
ANNA: (strikes a pose, a
little celebratory half twirl) Vintage!
er Styles Rocker: Wow! That
coat looks AMAZING, completely. Oh gosh! What a dreamboat!...(rhetorically)
What other elements are you rocking (glances over outfit, admiringly) That white blouse. Oh gosh! What a top! As thrilling as the blues
ANNA: (checks out outfit)
Everything is from Zara but my shoes are from Urban Outfitters
er Styles Rocker: The design
and gold, metallic aesthetic of those footwear are simply divine…So what other
elements accompany that fedora in your autumn/winter wardrobe?
ANNA: I have other coats. I
like a bit of a wool (expressive gesticulations of shoulders) you know. Kind
of army slash – the oxford blazer – the gold buttons. That’s kind of my look –
and skirts, dresses. A lot of velvets. I LOVE velvet!
er Styles Rocker: Blue
Velvet? I am completely enamoured by the contents of your collection…
ANNA: …Chokers (indicate
neck) erm, hoops!
er Styles Rocker: …Oops! So
what’s the appeal of velvet?
ANNA: (rhapsodizes) velvet is
kind of – heavy, feminine; it can be worn as a grunge look – a very, kind of
princess look
er Styles Rocker: Sound
immersive. I bet my boots it LOOKS immersive also…
ANNA: It’s Versatile!
