Non Monochrome headband and chunky platforms Fashionista Shoreditch High St E1

Shoreditch in particular definetly even now is where it seems to be at. So much so, this area could be covered twice in a month instead of just once. I would go as far as to say it just beats Camden in the fashion stakes, although the two areas seem to have very distinct and different characters. I call it punky V vintage!

Monochrome still rocks in this cutting edge area but there are early signs of monochrome rebellion on the streets as the fashionista above is demonstrating?

All photos taken this Tuesday 11 August 2015 with the usual Canon DSLR and  street wide lens and all shots taken from the hip.

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. Kensington, Chelsea and Knightsbridge Fashionista spotting results below. All photos Canon DSLR and wide angle zoom “street” lens. All shots from the hip!

Camden Market is a good place to get photos in general with a good mix of tourists and locals all ready to embrace the bohemian atmosphere that this part of the word is renowned for. You tend to see more characters here and women seem to let rip  and take a few more risks and maybe wear a hat when normally they would not than an area say such as Oxford Street/Regent Street which tends to be a bit more homegenised in the fashion stakes.  You can get away with it here as nobody cares!

The photo above for me grabs the headline out of this collection, she was miles away deep in thought and I managed to get this shot merely feet away with the sun shining so very brightly on her, it’s all about the hat and the mystery.

The photo below is a good close second. just stood in front of her pretending to take a picture of the street and market but I think she knew what I was doing, the sun was catching her hair so well just had to get the shot.  She never moved an inch and neither of us said a word!.

Brunette Black Short Skirt and Tights Fashionista Knightsbridge SW3 Nokia 635 Mobile

Headline grabber for me was this Brunette above spotted in Knightsbridge wearing something that was more in tune with spring time than the depths of winter it was freezing out there. She had something going on regardless though and she is here.

The area focus in this edition is Knightsbridge including Sloane Street and The Brompton Road plus South Kensington which also produces the posher fashionistas with a sprinkling of Tourists. Post Codes are the swanky SW3 and W8. These photos were taken a couple of days ago when the weather was colder.

You seen to get a different crowd down this area such as the lady above with the worlds leading designer brands in Sloane Street, the big high end Department Stores including Harvey Nicholls and Harrods proving magnets to the well healed and tourists with a bit more money to burn than most. In crowd terms the streets are nowhere near as busy as say Oxford or Regent Street but the proportion of wow factor women seems to be higher.
