er Styles Rocker: (exudes rhythmically) H&M! Hmm, that’s My House, of the moment, PVRIS. It’s my personal pleasure to be the first Frock Tune designer to discover this intoxicating element at London Fashion Week

er Styles Rocker:.... Hey Paramore I’m, Still Into You, but, admittedly, I’m also in love, with that obstreperously edgy fedora, by H&M, I’m sure. If it’s, astonishingly, not from heaven, Rui, where on earth did you unearth that, erm, ethereal gem? I’m its biggest fan, number one! What a fedora. It’s on fire! I am speechless, to be candid. They do not design fedoras like this anymore, I have NEVER seen better aesthete. Once a winner, always a stunner. Suzanne, don't touch it, you'll get burnt. It's that HOT. No wonder it lights my fire. When tomorrow comes, may I borrow…?.

Aste: (explains to a visibly intrigued Rui) Look! A statement element is missing if a fedora does not complete an chic outfit, in
Styles Rocker’s book. He’s helplessly hooked to them, it seems. Strike a pose, please.
er Styles Rocker: Hello! For a moment, I was under the impression that, like me, you are a student of Style and Aesthetic because your London Fashion Week stylying, is so breathlessly on point. The bewitching, sprezzatura attire literally knocks my socks off. I REALLY admire every single aspect of the shockingly stunning work of art…Occasionally, I’m Only Happy When it Rains. Today, however, I'm elated because I am in the presence of the fedora of the moment. Clearly, it’s an utterly imaginative design, a sublime therapy. What’s not to love? The uproarious elegance; like a pet dove, a fashionable drone, is chicness epitome. . PARAMORE, That's What You Get when you attend London Fashion Week
The fashion week style maven walking the sidewalk at
London Fashion Week is Rui Wang. Steal her inspiring style by coupling a runway
fedora by H&M with Louis Vuitton handbag, Orangebear culottes and sneakers by Sam Smith, sorry,
I meant , Stan Smith. Actually, she studies Fashion Management at University of
Manchester.
er
Styles Rocker: This
outfit is perfect for London Fashion Week, London Fashion Week Men's and London
Fashion Week Festival. It looks on trend, stylish and inspiringly chic. That
fiery fedora has the star role, the highlight, the epitome of Fashion Week
style and aesthetics. Can

Hey Paramore I’m, Still Into You, but, admittedly, I’m also in love, with that obstreperously edgy fedora, by HM, I’m sure. If it’s, astonishingly, not from heaven, Rui, where on earth did you unearth that, erm, ethereal gem? I’m its biggest fan, number one! What a fedora. It’s on fire! I am speechless, to be candid.

er Styles Rocker: Spell it out for me, please.
RUI: (spells) …

blouse is, in essence, a BEGUILING
goddess. I LOVE the bellowing, bell-shaped silhouette of the sleeves.

highly striking. I LOVE the Complete elegance…Those trousers! Wow!

it’s simply photogenic. Every single aspect knock my socks off…Those shoes!
Sneakers?
RUI: (shows off details at back of sneakers)
er Styles Rocker: What trainers, I mean who is the
footwear designer?
RUI: Stan Smith
er Styles Rocker: Not to be confused Sam Smith; another
HUGE talent; I'm Not the Only One, who ABSOLUTELY loves the green stripe at the
back; it contrasts beautifully with the overall white colour palette. Are you
here for London Fashion Week?
RUI: (big smile) No!
er Styles Rocker: Oh, you were just walking by and your
discerning eye caught the spectacle?
RUI: Yes
er Styles Rocker: That’s immersive! Have you heard about
London Fashion Week before?
RUI: (shakes head, smilingly) No! It’s my first time.
er Styles Rocker: Wow! Well, welcome. Well, at London
Fashion Week all the established and emerging designers, showcase their
Spring/Summer 2017, womenswear collections, on the catwalk. On the sidewalk,
however, the WHOLEsome fashion week set, show off their inimitable personal
styles.
RUI: (nods)
er Styles Rocker: When I first spotted your ensemble, I
thought it looked super immersive, so I really had t capture it, for the
Gallery of Sidewalk Darlings
RUI: (smiles broadly) Thank you
er Styles Rocker: You are welcome. So how do you
describe your personal style? How do you like to dress, from day to day?
RUI: (trys to find the right words)…I try to look good,
so casual is important
er Styles Rocker: How many fedora hats have you set
aside in your wardrobe?
RUI: (dilated, bewildered eyes)]
er Styles Rocker: (repeats for enhanced clarity) How
many fedoras do you possess?
RUI: Maybe over ten
er Styles Rocker: Oh my gosh! What do you have so many?
You are just one fashionista, you need only a few.
RUI: (chortles)
er Styles Rocker: Why on earth do you have so
many? What do you do you like about them?
RUI: It’s the point of the outfit…
er Styles Rocker: …the WHOLE point…
RUI: So if my hair….I wear my hat….
er Styles Rocker: Oh, so it keeps your hair tidy and
neat. What other justification for matching your outfit with a fedora? For
instance, when you plan your outfit with this elegant blouse and chic pair of
tailored trousers, why did you match them with that fedora?
RUI: (smiles broadly)
er Styles Rocker: Why do you have a vested interest in so
many. Why are you so weak, for fedoras?
RUI: erm, it’s hard to say (laughs). I just choose a hat
– not for some special reason (laughs)
er Styles Rocker: Oh, okay, that’s fine, that fedora, of
course. So basically, I’d like to know, erm (searches for the next question to
ask).. where are you from, incidentally?

here. To be honest, I have been waiting SEVERAL hours now to spot the most
awe-inspiring style. Even the outfits being rocked by the show’s esteemed
fashion editors, who dressed up particularly for the event, do not measure up
to yours.
RUI: (laughs) Thank you

this surreal opportunity to curate your breath-taking style today…Before you
