Rocker: (applause, breathlessly) McQueen! Little wonder it looks regal and supreme…That ALARMINGLY gorgeous London Collections: Men fedora is in your capsule collection; not mine. Super jealous! Oh my gosh! That's not fair. Since it boasts a striking resemblance to the melody of Black Peaks - Glass Built Castles. I'd not hesitate to rock it, envyingly, all day. Hot or what! Like Holika holika, it looks astonishingly expensive yet obstreperously cool, so cool that it ignites this burning desire. I have found the one. I'll tempted to own this fire. otherwise, I'll clone it with the help of the wearer. Okay, I will settle for a cardboard cut-out. Claim the gold, while I revel in the awe of this discover. LFW SS17

Thalia:
That's enough! How corny! There is truth to the rumors that he's head over
heels for a fedora. His packed wardrobe would be empty without one.
The stylist
walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is
Jing Wei, a Fashion Blogger in China. She’s a Jewellery Designer as
well. Steal her chic, midnight aesthetic by coupling a runway fedora by Ted
Baker with Alexander McQueen jacket, shoes, VICTORIA BECKHAM satchel and
ALEXANDER WANG leather skirt.

a fashionable brand. And my. This jacket is made by Alexander McQueen
er Styles
Rocker: McQueen. Little wonder it looks regal and supreme…That ALARMINGLY
gorgeous fedora is your capsule collection; not mine. Super jealous! Oh my
gosh! That's not fair. It has a striking resemblance to melody of Black Peaks - Glass Built Castles. I'd not hesitate to rock it, envyingly, all day. Hot or
what! It looks astonishingly expensive yet obstreperously cool that it ignites
this burning desire. I have found the
one. I'll tempted to own this fire. otherwise, I'll clone it with the help of
the wearer. Okay, I will settle for a cardboard cut-out. Claim the gold, while
I revel in the awe of this discover.
Jing Wei: I
really LIKE it because you can see lots of details (show-off details). The
design is very soft
er Styles
Rocker: And poignant. The details are QUITE iridescent; I love them…
Jing Wei:
..and also I love this design shape (U cut at front of jacket)…It shows my
piece of jewelry…
er Styles
Rocker: Hmm. So stupendous; astronomically appealing. That stunning bag!
Jing Wei:
This is, a vintage trousers. It’s leather. Today I’m wearing casual (style) but
it also has…some serious feelings…office…office ladies…

Yes. I choose these trousers…
er Styles
Rocker: …culottes…

match my jacket

Rocker: Coupled with that epitome of rock fedora, I can see a perfect match;
perfect coupling right there. You match maker…

Styles
Rocker:…sartorial cupid. That bag!
Jing Wei:
The bag, I really LOVE it
Styles
Rocker: I REALLY love it also. Not as much as I LOVE that fedora, however; love
at first sight…
Jing
Wei:…This (flaunts bag) is actually handmade IN 1940
er Styles
Rocker: 1940! Wow. Someone was clearly, artistically engaged during the World
War II
Jing Wei:
And this shape, it’s…
er Styles
Rocker: …Oh my gosh! It looks immaculately breath-taking condition
Jing Wei:
Yes!
er Styles
Rocker: So how did it wind up in your wardrobe. What’s the moral of the story?
Jing Wei: I
bought this in a Mayfair antique show; antique show in London
Styles
Rocker: Wow!
Jing Wei:
This, (the bag) obviously, I bought it from a French collector…he stocked so
many luxury brands
er Styles
Rocker: I'm a super fan of this one. That’s the epitome of luxury at its
highest point.

It’s really really good antique
er Styles

care of it. I LOVE it, completely…Oh my gosh! Those shoes…They are QUITE, er…
THALIA:
(suggest word)…nice
er Styles
Rocker: (ignore word suggestion)…mellifluous!
Jing
Wei:…Because it’s from the Alexander McQueen designer as well, so you can see,
it’s made of leather
er Styles
Rocker: I LOVE the details. They boast the most grit, the edge. It’s really
fierce
Jing Wei:
Because my jacket has some detailed designs, I thought it wouldn’t match…
er Styles
Rocker: They are the perfect match…
Enyiu: If er
Styles Rocker says it’s so, then it’s so. He should know. At London Fashion
Week he walks the sidewalk, he passes the front row, heads for the standing
spot behind the back row….
er Styles
Rocker: …As an art form, styling is not merely but matching elements; it’s
about mis-matching them. Perfect styling! You must do a styling tutorial, on
YouTube. Imagine your own style tutorial. The whole universe would go stylish
Jing Wei:
Well, my personal style is very fashionable. I LOVE designs. I LOVE to see so
many galleries, especially since I'm hosting a radio show. My life is so colorful (giggles)
er Styles
Rocker: That’s brilliance, just like your outfit. Where are you from
incidentally?
Jing Wei:
I’m from China
er Styles
Rocker: Oh, we LOVE China
Jing Wei: Oh
thank you
er Styles
Rocker: We adore the Chinese sartorial aesthetic, so lovable. This beautiful ,
magnificent style you are unveiling today. That beauty makes me super keen to
discover the other elements; clothes you have stashed away in your wardrobe. We
have seen these heart-melting ones you are rocking, especially that
heart-stealing fedora, therefore we are really interested in a picture of your
wardrobe
Jing Wei: In
my wardrobe, I have so many, I think Chinese designers. For instance, for
example, very traditional Chinese clothes, Chinese dresses
er Styles
Rocker: …Chinese fedora!
Jing Wei: I
also have British brands. I LOVE Burberry. I LOVE Burberry coats
er Styles
Rocker: … What’s not to love! Every self-respecting stylist are head over heels
for their creations. Their French coats are to die for; elements to look
forward to each year. Their d=fedoras…
Jing Wei:…I
LOVE so many good designers, but I also have so many vintage, antique jewelry
er Styles
Rocker: If I look in your wardrobe, I’d take full control. It would be
increasingly hard to recover from the sartorial splendor. No wonder!
Jing Wei: I
collect jewellery…
er Styles
Rocker: …Immersive
Jing Wei: I
like coral, the ring, necklace. I’m wearing a Victoria period ring today
er Styles
Rocker: A period element! how immersive!
Jing Wei:
Made in Italy...
er Styles
Rocker: magnifico!
Jing Wei:…in
1980...
er Styles
Rocker: Wow! Proper retro then, proper vintage. Your accessories taste is like;
impeccable, discernible and, er, tasteful. It leaves me speechless,
breathless...
Jing
Wei:...This is actually (showing off bracelet aesthetics)...
er Styles
Rocker: ...astounded...
Jing
Wei:...a very interesting Chinese bracelet. And this (bangle) is antique,
diamond, a vintage bangle as well. I LOVE wearing Chinese things...
er Styles
Rocker: At London Fashion Week, I LOVE spotting Chinese things, like these.
They are super stupendous. I am COMPLETELY in love with them, even though I am
seeing for the very first time. I completely LOVE them
Jing Wei:
Yes.
er Styles
Rocker: London Fashion Week is a striking spectacle, undeniably. If a
passer-by, should stop and ask you what on earth is happening here today, what
would be your considered response?
Jing Wei: I
think London Fashion Week is an opportunity. For me, because I was a journalist
before...
er Styles
Rocker: ...Journalist, stylist...there is seemingly no end to the talents on
your list. Anyway, carry on...
Jing Wei:
Then I started doing fashion illustrations. In fact, I studied at Central Saint
Martins university. I came to London Fashion Week and got so much inspiration.
That's why I decided to design jewelries. So I think London Fashion Week is
inspiration and opportunity...
er Styles
Rocker: Quintessentially, yes! A precise definition. Inspiration is the
WHOLEsome essence of the bi-annual showcase. You share your unique inspiration
and you'll be assured that you will be inundated with inspiration - even if you
have little or no inspiration, in your heart, to impart. The influencers are
the WHOLESsome fashion week set and the rock star who showcase their creations
on the catwalk. designers That's why we LOVE it, er,
stupendously.
Jing Wei:
Hmm(murmurs agreement)
er Styles
Rocker: And what trends from the Spring Summer season are you aware of?
Jing Wei:
You mean the spring summer?...
er Styles
Rocker: ...Yes. What stylings are in vogue now?
Jing Wei:
You mean London Fashion Week or my, my...?
er Styles
Rocker: Just generally speaking.
Jing Wei: I
think London Fashion Week,this year, is better than last year. There are more
designers. Especially - I saw so many Chinese designers
er Styles
Rocker: We LOVE the Chinese designers. I went to a Chinese designer's (Huishan
Zhang) catwalk showcase last week and the creations were super immersive; every
aspect of the presentation was stupendous. Therefore, as the presumptive
cheerleader for London Fashion Week, we welcome the Chinese designers to come,
again and again
Jing Wei:
They express the ideas they get from Europe. We love the see Chinese ideas come
and showcase their designs at London Fashion Week; East meets West...
er Styles
Rocker: We are completely in love with the east's fashion sense; in essence,
the whimsical aesthetics that it offers. London |Fashion Week is a platform
where we get the best designs from the east...
Jing Wei: I
LOVE your idea
LAUGHTER
er Styles
Rocker: Your style is immaculate, STUPENDOUS, astounding....priceless?
Jing Wei:
Yes, obviously!
