Madeleine Mugge at London Fashion Week

mr Styles UltrA AAA: (breathless rhapsody)… If that FLAMING fedora was trouble, I could NEVER stay away from it. Good thing I didn’t blink; I would have missed that, er, honour. One look at it and my heart races. I can see every reason to adore it, stupendously. It’s a lot to look forward to. If I don’t look away now, cross my heart, I’ll lose focus. This is official; I am SUPER proud of my selfishness and greed; I NEED that FLAMING hat. There’s a coveted spot for it in my fedora repertoire. What fashion house is that paragon from? https://www.facebook.com/TheSidewalkDarlings

The Fashion Week fashionista walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week; #‎LFW, is Madeleine Bugge Karlsen from Norway. She is fashion blogger and Public Relations student . Embrace the chic, minimalistic aesthetic by stealing her style. Simply style a foundation fedora by Monsoon with a hero blouse from H&M and Saint Tropez statement coat. While curating this spectacular outfit for Gallery of #‎SidewalkDarlings, London Fashion Week cheerleader, mr Styles UltrA AAA , shows off his sprezzatura style by teaming a model fedora by Topman with Calvin Klein waistcoat, WILLIAM LOCKIE jumper, BAUMLER cotton shirt, VERSACE tie, POLO RALPH LAUREN trousers and Oliver Sweeney brogues
mr Styles UltrA AAA: You are from Norway?

Madeleine Karlsen: Yes.

mr Styles UltrA AAA: We LOVE Norway

Madeleine (laughs) Yes.

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Completely. What are you studying and where?

Madeleine I study PR at LCC and the University of Arts London…

mr Styles UltrA AAA: …Oh London College of er…

Madeleine …Communication

mr Styles UltrA AAA: OopsI almost said London College of Fashion. Talking about fashion, are you gonna specialize in Fashion PR or…

Madeleine …That’s the way I'm heading…

mr Styles UltrA AAA: You are heading in just that one direction; Fashion PR, of course. I wish you all the best. It’s a tremendous career move, you know. Let’s get to the meat of the matter…Your outfit, erm, I'm SUPER in love with it. It's so tasteful, it leaves me breathless. It makes my heart restless

Madeleine (smiles)

mr Styles UltrA AAA: And I quote “That outfit gets my vote”. End of quote. Oh, it’s such a cake. It makes my knees shake. The other outfits are gorgeous and relentlessly chic. However, no other outfit, and I mean NO OTHER outfit, is more gorgeous and chic, as this. It looks like the winner. Needless to say, that FLAMING fedora wins all the applaud, the acclaim. You stylist. You are a true artist. What was your inspiration for this aesthetic?

Madeleine I've been on the flair…it’s lush. I found these (show off wide-legged trousers) in a designer’s pop up shop the other day….

mr Styles UltrA AAA: What shop was it, please?

It’s in Shoreditch

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Oh my! I wish I could rock it. Where is its warning label saying “HOT.” I think it’s the silhouette and the texture that’s drawing me closer.

This (orange top) is just a body from H&M

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Great BODY! Not just a body. The Fashion Week set likes it; it’s interfering with my heart also. The colour is so vibrant, fierce, edgy and intense. Oh my. That hue leaves me breathless.
(smiles)

mr Styles UltrA AAA: That coat. Oh my! It’s such a delightful sight. Where on earth did you discover it?

It’s from St. Tropez; it’s a brand.

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Saint Tropez!

Yes. (she spins around, pridefully to show off the silhouettes and design)

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Excellence. I LOVE that brand name. The silhouette is breathtakingly beautiful. Completely. I ADORE every single element in your outfit. Each is a rock star, in its own right. However, that FLAMING fedora shines the brightest. It outshines all the other – fedoras on the sidewalk. To be honest, how do I articulate my emotions with clear deference? I know, that hat is my ULTIMATE preference.

(smiles broadly) Is it?

mr Styles UltrA AAA: It is, of course. If that fedora was trouble, I could NEVER stay away from it. Good thing I didn’t blink; I would have missed that, er, honour. One look at it and my heart races. I can see every reason to adore it, stupendously. It’s a lot to look forward to. If I don’t look away now, cross my heart, I’ll lose focus. This is official; I am SUPER proud of my selfishness and greed; I NEED that FLAMING hat. There’s a coveted spot for it in my fedora repertoire. What fashion house is that paragon from?

It’s from (playfully) Monsoon

mr Styles UltrA AAA: (mimics playfulness) It’s from Monsoon. Oh excellence! I wish it could be mine, super soon. That’s the calibre of fedora, I would like to rock with my suit, and my biker boots. Tell me, what do you like about fedoras?


Well, my mother was one of the first (a passer-by playfully posed, unawares, behind her, colossal grin on his face) hat maker in Norway, actually. So hats..something I’m in LOVE with

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Wow! Actually, that’s an awesome inspiration…

I LOVE the way you can be mysterious about it.

I COMPLETELY understand. How many fedoras do you have, incidentally?
(smiles, pleasingly) I HAVE plenty…

How many would you guess
(soft response drowned out by passing traffic)

Oh, brilliance! How do you define your personal style?

I LOVE clean lines. I also LOVE minimalism....

Yes, please. An element of my style is minimalistic also. I have a weakness for that aesthetic. And of course, the frock band called SidewalkDarlings is similarly minimal ; it features only a double base violin, electric guitar and a drum set…

…with a quirky edge to it.

Yes. Completely. You inject your individuality and creative d=edge; touch to it, is’nt it? No wonder it looks super impressive. So massive!

Yes.

It comes out, impressively, in this psychedelic outfit you are rocking today. And what do you LIKE about London Fashion Week?

(gushes, er, breathlessly) Oh, it’s just SO MUCH fun! So much is going on. People look AMAZING! It’s CRAZY!

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Gene Simmons and his cohorts from the rock band KISS would call it Crazy Crazy Nights. Of course, this song inspired SidewalkDarlings to makeup a frock tune about London Fashion Week called Planet London Fashion Week. Find it on youtube…Any way, I digress…People look AMAZING, as you said, just like your style….

…(smiles)

Therefore, we are happy to conduct this mini interview and the impromptu, video-shoot, photo-shoot of it. 
Thank you so much for your time and of course, your breathtakingly style.

(nods proudly)

mr Styles UltrA AAA: Just before you walk the sidewalk, may we have your permission tp publish this video on our youtube chanel called SidewalkDarlings?

Madeleine: Okay.

HARRY at London Collections Men

mr Styles UltrA: (rhapsodises breathlessly) WOW! How LUBRICIOUS that hat looks! That STRIKING aesthetic possesses me; sparks the heatwave on the sidewalk. In fact, I'm obsessed with it. Like an injection, I just can't get enough - a HONEY one, CLEARLY. I have a collection of hats but I'll make room for that sartorial dream; that wish. What a hat! Such a darling!
Miss Aming: (explains) He sounds super QUIXOTIC because he's SUPER in love with chic hats. He'll LOVE the fedora aesthetic, forever. Strike a pose, Harry.
Fedora
WALKING the sidewalk at ‪#‎LondonCollectionsMen‬, is Harry, a Fashion Blogger and fashion events' regular. Steal the style chameleon's BoardwalkEmpire aesthetic by teaming a ‪#‎ThomasFarthing‬ statement hat with 1974 vintage suit, ‪#‎Versace‬ footwear and tie, Topman shirt and Thomas Farthing braces. Checking out other ‪#‎LCM‬ fashionistas' sartorial elements, mr Styles Ultra, 'the' ‪#‎FEDORA‬ cheerleader, is in his element; a CalvinKlein fedora, teamed with PIRELLI PZERO shirt, Human Scales tailored shorts, ‪#‎Balmain‬ jacket. Hardy Amies jumper, ASOS tie and DOckers boots.
mr Styles UltrA: Your outfit is looking QUITE amazing today. I LOVE all the hot elements. The hottest is the hat, CLEARLY. I LOVE it. What a stunning moment to be at ‪#‎MensFashionWeek‬. I bet my boots you wardrobe is equally SUPERB.
fedora

HARRY: Thank you
mr Styles UltrA: What was your inspiration for this aesthetic?
HARRY: A little BoardWalk Empire for this look. I was doing a Victorian dandy yesterday, so I thought I go for Gangs of New York
Miss Aming: It comes off VERY ...nicely...
mr Styles UltrA:...LUBRICIOUSLY...Brilliant! what sartorial brands are you wearing, first and foremost, that STRIKING hat.
HARRY: The hat is by Thomas Farthing...
mr Styles UltrA: WOW! How LUBRICIOUS that hat looks! That STRIKING aesthetic possesses me; sparks the heatwave on the sidewalk. In fact, I'm obsessed with it. Like an injection, I just can't get enough - a HONEY one, CLEARLY. I have a collection of hats but I'll make room that sartorial dream; that wish. What a darling! What a hat!
HARRY: The shirt is Topman, the tie by Versace...
mr Styles UltrA:...Just look at that tie. It's perfect. Beautiful tie; so adorable...I REALLY love the iridescence; everything about it is SUPER cool.
HARRY: The suit is a 1974...
mr Styles UltrA:...Proper vintage then...It's SUPER graceful, elegant, enchanting...The best vintage suit, EVER....
HARRY:...You know it...
mr Styles UltrA: It looks so modern, FIERCE...When it comes to suits, I am very selective. I'd rock this one any day, all day....
HARRY:...Versace sneakers
mr Styles UltrA: Excellent...
HARRY:...Thomas Farthing braces also.
mr Styles UltrA: Brilliant! How do you define your personal style?
HARRY: Erm. I don't know... Mine changes EVERYDAY. Some days I want street-wear, other days I want to be suited and booted...
mr Styles UltrA: Why is London Collections: Men a big deal?
HARRY: I think it's most important one because it's the first to bring menswear to a completely different market. SO I think you'll see anyone and everyone, from different walks, all in different clothing all appreciating mens' fashion.
mr Styles UltrA: Brilliant! May we have your permission to publish this video on our youtube chanel called SidewalkDarlings?
HARRY: (groans jokingly) Ohhhhh!
mr Styles UltrA: Rememeber, the camera is focusing on just that STRIKING tie, isn't it?
HARRY: Yeah! Yeah! Fine. (groans) I HATE doing videos....
mr Styles UltrA: Brilliant!

Ronaldo loves Marni and H&M


Sooner or later, Ronaldo will spot another style on the sidewalk which is worth emulating. In the meantime, he decided to check out the début of the exclusive Marni collection at H&M. He joined hundreds of other fatuous fashion bunnies at 3am in the frezeing cold outside the store.  He knew nothing about Marni but heard its ranges are adorable.

                                         Ronaldo and Jamie, aka Pink Slime

                                                                     2:51AM

Ronaldo: (rang Pink Slime's  door bell, spoke to him through intercom)

Are you ready



Pink Slime: (sleepily)

Oh shit! My alarm did not go off. Sorry, I'll meet you there


Ronaldo:

Okay. Hurry up. There must be tons of people in the queue already.







The incessant downpour makes the sidewalk slippery as an eel. Pedestrians and style starlets queued and strutted carefully. Wet and cold but not short on light entertainment; girls wearing UGG boots, slipping and falling over on the sidewalk.


Ronaldo:

Sorry, H M has no first aids for your bruised knees


                                                                    LAUGHTER


Pink Slime:

Neither will it replace your torn leggings



LAUGHTER



Snooki:

Get a grip you two!




                                                                      6AM


I was expecting to see hundreds of people in the queue at this time of the morning. Not a mere 45. God! I could sleep a bit longer in my warm bed. Ugh!

Incredible! What's the point?


Ronaldo:

The point is you're more likely to get the pieces you want


Winsome:

And you are?


EVERYONE GASPS




CLUBBERS GOING HOME MOCK THE FASHIONISTAS




You lot are insane for queueing up here all night in the cold. Your warm beds are getting cold. GO HOME!

If you say wer're crazy, then youre just jealous

why would i be jealous

we can afford Marni and you cant.

Oh please! The H M Marni collection is for people on a budget

Well, I'll be spending over 500 pounds, for your information.



                                                                       6:49AM



Pink Slime: (shouts from where he belonged - the back of the queue)

Hey! Ronaldo, I wanna get one of those necklaces for my girl friend but they might finish by the time I get inside...



Ronaldo:

 Serve you right. You should have gotten out of your bed when I was passing your house


Pink Slime:

 Please help me


                                                                   PROTEST

Ronaldo:

Sorry Pink Slime , these people will not allow you to jump the queue



Pink Slime:

Just pick up the white flower necklace for me then.


Ronaldo:

 I'll try



Pink Slime:

I would like a pair of the leather sandals. They're drop dead stunning. And one of the blue dresses, one red belt, grey bracelet, PJ shorts...




LOTS OF PUSHING, SHOVING, ELBOWING AND FRANTIC GRABBING WHEN THE DOOR OPENED AT 9AM. Jackets, shoes, bangles, dresses, swimsuits, everything flew off the racks in minutes.


Ronaldo:

 I'm sorry for those who forgot their elbow pads


Pink Slime:

Idiots! Will you share yours...with me?


                                                        9AM
Ronaldo had an appointment with the dentist at 9am. It's the second consecutive time, he would be doing a no-show.


The queue inside H M was endless also. Most of the females had one of the print dresses among their shopping, whereas most of the guys had either the navy jacket or a sweater.




Originally, Ronaldo thought the collection would cater for women only but he was pleasantly surprised to see a few wearable pieces for guys. Among them was a stylish shirt. He swooned over it all night through the window. It was available, too bad, not in his size. S and M only. The navy jacket was completely sold out. UGH!



WINSOME: (grabs last pair of leggings from rack)

Come to mama! All I need is some plexi earrings now.

Sophie: I got all the pieces that I wanted despite coming late, despite the rediculoulsy large number of people who turned up

Well done! I missed out on a few pieces, but I'm happy with what I got. I'll use the rest of the money I planned to spend on other Marni's products; pizza and wine.(giggles) I particularly like the sweater's classic look, plus it's affordable.


I prefer Marni to money





Well, Ronaldo left H M empty-handed. Nevertheless, he was overjoyed. The experience was somethinh to write home about.  A lot of the people in the queue did not know much about Marni. However, its H M launch was just as frenzied and hyped as the Versace/H M collaboration.
