Knightsbridge and Chelsea Street Style Photos. July 2015

Fashionista spotting in the Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge areas of Central London. Took in the areas of the Brompton Road, Kings Road, South Kensington near the Tube, Fulham Road, Sloane Street and Sloane Square and of course the hot spot Harrods. Photos taken yesterday 23 July 2015.

Gone with the fashionista above for the headline shot, she was the last photo of the day, saw her 500 metres down the road. Think she saw me and the camera as well. Very simple in colour terms and minimalist but never the less very striking with the flat cap giving it that finishing touch. Very individual and definetly a FASHIONISTA!

Late July and August turns quiet in London with the school holidays. Tourists in abundance and I mean by the coach loads at present but actual fashionistas will prove to be a bit thinner on the ground.

Tuesday was spent in London Fields and Dalston to check out the fashion vibe there to get off the tourist trail in Central London. Just a flying visit and a big fat zero. It’s supposed to be the new place to be, better than Shoreditch, I wasn’t convinced. Maybe I was in the wrong part? Maybe the weekends are better or maybe it rocks more at night when everybody is back from work?

Wednesday went all the way down to Richmond and again zilch. Tried Chiswick on the way back and again nothing. Peckham is another area that is being looked into which is hipsterville at present, amongst others, but at present Central London up to Zone 2 on the Tube Map is where it seems to be. Go beyond that and the dress code is safe and follow the norm and the suburbia look. No earth shattering ground breaking stuff here. The difference was staggering when you arrive back in Knightsbridge, Kensington and Chelsea.

Took about 20 shots on the day but ruthlessly cut it down to 9 to what I would call “fashionistas” on what was a quiet day in “street style” terms.
