Mr er, Styles, UltrA: (gushes, er,
rhythmically) That Fedora! Does it look ultra exciting right now? OmgYes! The
most marvellous fedora hat, EVER. A winning accessory. Spotting a fedora at
London fashion week is an experience of a lifetime, but spotting this one is
extraordinarily special; a dream, a thought. Such brilliance! Do you have style

The Fashion Week fashionista
walking the sidewalk at London Fashion Week is Kamiylah, Stylist and Personal
Shopper at Selfridges. Steal her functional yet uber chic aesthetic by coupling
a statement fedora by French Connection with American Apparel leggings, ALDO
shoes, H&M cropped top, and Topshop jacket. On the other hand, London
Fashion Week cheerleader, Mr, er, is self-styled in his typical VINTAGE, model
fedora (boutique in China) which he teams with Ciao Italy tailored coat,
vintage waistcoat, Melka sweater, Blue Inc scarf and Trussardi classic, formal
shirt.
Mr er, Styles UltrA: outfit looks
SUPER amazing today. This London Fashion Week outfit rocks. Someone, give this
stylist a styling deal, PLEASE. I just LOVE London Fashion Week. You know what
I love about it. It's super rare - it's staged only twice for the year. Each
year, I look forward to this sartorial showcase, so much, and when it finally
comes, I'm especially elated, when it leaves, I get seriously deflated I just
want to slap its derrière and say see you next year.
KAMIYLAH: Thank you.
Mr er, Styles, UltrA: I'd really
really would like to know the inspiration behind this, er, divine aesthetic.
KAMIYLAH: Erm. I LOVE fur. This
(touches fur jacket) is a piece which I had for awhile. It's VERY vibrant. The
hat (felt fedora) I have a collection coming out at the end of the year. SO
this is something which inspires me, which I wear all the time. I really like
fedora fedora hats. So - good stuff!
Mr er, Styles, UltrA: Every element
looks gorgeous in its own right. I absolutely love every element you you
skilfully incorporated in his beautiful ensemble.
KAMIYLAH: Thank you
Mr er, Styles, UltrA: Speak a
little louder for me, please. Okay?
KAMIYLAH: (murmurs agreement)
Mr er, Styles UltrA: What do you
LIKE bout London Fashion Week?
KAMIYLAH: Everything! To see
people; their styles, see them in their elements...Everyone has his/her own
creativity....You get to know all the current trends, past trends...
Mr er, Styles UltrA: You seem t be
deeply knowledgeable about fashion and London Fashion Week...
KAMIYLAH: ...Yes...
Mr er, Styles UltrA: What do you,
do by the way?
KAMIYLAH: I'm a Stylist and
Personal Shopper...(passing traffic drowns out her speech)
Mr er, Styles UltrA: (groans,
apologetically) Sorry. Owing to that RACKET just now, I didn't not hear a word
of what you said
KAMIYLAH: (laughs)
Mr er, Styles UltrA: Sorry about
that. So please explain again what you do please.
KAMIYLAH: What was the question
again?
Mr er, Styles UltrA: What do you
do?
KAMIYLAH: I'm a stylist and
Personal Shopper. I have my own business at the moment; with my own clientèle I
am a Personal Shopper in Selfriges. My collection will be coming out later this
year and I'm REALLY looking forward to it.
Mr er, Styles UltrA: Stylish!
Enterprising! Oh brilliance! I bet you have other sartorial talents hiding. I
wish you all the best in your future endeavours...How do you define your
personal style?
KAMIYLAH: ...My personal style
(ruminates) I'd say it's VERY unique. In the sense that it's a mix of what I
like. And it kind of represent myself....
Mr er, Styles UltrA: So what
elements of clothing or accessories would make up your signature aesthetic?
KAMIYLAH: I DON'T; I honestly do
not like accessories. I do wear earrings, bracelets and hats; mostly fedora
hats. That's as far as I'd go. And I prefer jackets...
Mr er, Styles UltrA:...Cool! So
what do you LIKE about fedoras?
KAMIYLAH: I like that they can
complete not only a high fashion outfit, but you can wear them with high-street
also.
Mr er, Styles UltrA: What's not to
love! This one that you are rocking now, really ROCKS. It's the most AMAZING
fedora hat I have spotted at London Fashion Week, so far
KAMIYLAH: (laughs, appreciatively)
Mr er, Styles UltrA: I ADORE the
two-tone color palette (black and red)...The whole design, the WHOLE
silhouette; simply, er, revealing, revelling, APPEALING. Like you, I LOVE
fedoras also, so I appreciate how you team it with these other STRIKING,
stand-out elements...What fashion labels are you rocking, incidentally?
KAMIYLAH: They are actually ALL
High-street brands
Mr er, Styles UltrA: Really!
Actually, they boast the charm, appeal and aesthetic of high fashion...
KAMIYLAH: I'm wearing ALDO
shoes....
Mr er, Styles UltrA: ...Like my Beb
Sherman rogues, sorry I meant brogues, those footwear are simply shimmering;
the emanating beauty makes me shiver....
KAMIYLAH: American Apparel
leggings, H&M top, Topshop jacket...
Mr er, Styles UltrA: Oh my. That
outerwear is super psychedelic. It oozes pure magic; it's mysterious like, er,
electric. I must admit, that I want it
KAMIYLAH: ...and....
mr Styles, er, UltrA: Last but
definitely NOT least, instead, it's the ultimate best, the undisputed greatest,
you save the best for last....
KAMIYLAH:...French Connection
hat...
Mr er, Styles UltrA:...That Fedora! Does it look ultra exciting right now? OmgYes! The most marvellous
fedora hat, EVER. A winning accessory. Spotting a fedora at fashion week is an
experience of a lifetime, but spotting this one is extraordinarily special; a
dream, a thought. Such brilliance! Do you have style icon, incidentally?
Erm. (thinks) I DON'T actually look
to any style icon....
Mr er, Styles UltrA:...So when you
plan this outfit, did you look for inspiration from among the trends that are
currently in in vogue now or in the AW16 season
KAMIYLAH: I don't actually....Today
is very cold, so I'm wearing something warm....
Mr er, Styles
UltrA:....Functionality over style...I adopt that style - super rarely....
KAMIYLAH:...I dont go by present
season. I go by what I feel that day. What I want to wear that day....
Mr er, Styles UltrA:....Needless to
say, the style that you are feeling today has made my day; In fact, it takes my
breath awayl. Doubleness, I'm utterly speechless; I have no clue what else to
say. Please, er, stay!
KAMIYLAH:...(concludes her styling)
what I want to wear, what I can coordinate, the type of coordination
. Whether it#'';s a cropped top or
high-waisted....
Mr er, Styles UltrA:....So far,
your styling is on par, on point. I mean, the colour scheme, the textures,
every aspect of this attire is so, er, on pint. I'm totally in love with the
mind-blowing aesthetic.
KAMIYLAH: Thank you
Mr er, Styles UltrA: Before you
walk the sidewalk, may we have your permission to publish this video on our
youtube show called Sideweaqlk Darlings?
KAMIYLAH: That's fine.
