Lizzie, Balham

Today is Lizzie's 26th birthday, which seems as good a time as any to finally post these photographs of her, taken October 2018. These were originally intended for Lizzie's dating and lifestyle blog, but other commitments fell in the way - for the better, it seems, because she is now in a very loving relationship and pursuing a new career in nursing. It feels poignant that today is also International Women's Day, because these pictures depict my friend with hopes and ambition for the future, and I'm so very proud those hopes have since become a reality for her.

Elle, Camden Collective

Yesterday I rekindled my love for street style photography, when a visit to the The Bloggers' Market presented me one of the more extarordinary ensembles I've seen outside London and Paris Fashion Weeks. Bold and bizarre, I can't help but love the lucha libre masks emblazoned in vibrant sequin, hence when Elle, photographer, told me she had found this jumpsuit in a charity shop, my immediate thought was: why would want to give away such a unique outfit? I suppose I'll have to wrestle with that mystery.

More photos from The Bloggers' Market coming soon.

Emily Lambert, Russell Square

Emily Lambert is a WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Level 3 certified sommelier, which means she knows significantly more about wine than the self-proclaimed aficionado at a posh dinner party. At twenty-two years of age, she is among the youngest at her level (one step away from Master Sommelier), but she has high aspirations, which include dismantling the elitist preconceptions surrounding wine, and educating the likes of you and I on the finer qualities of this very accessible drink we often take for granted. Emily currently works for Coravin, an ingenious tool that pours wine without having to uncork the bottle, although she is soon launching her very own website to complement her regular Instagram content, among other exciting projects. If gin can have its heyday, then surely so can wine, and Emily is the woman to lead the way.

Siobhan Maroney, Victoria House

For the SS20 season, the folks at Fashion Scout have upped sticks to Victoria House in Bloomsbury with a brand new showspace. Frustratingly however, shooting the runway from anywhere besides the front row or the packed photographers' pit has suddenly become somewhat of a challenge, so I resigned myself to a second row seat for yesterday's I Love Four Seasons show. On the flip side, I bumped into the delightful Siobhan of Just A Uniform fame, who was sitting across the aisle from me. Not only does she have impeccable style (I am loving her Alzang dress), she has been posting some amazing videos to her IGTV lately, which alone is worth a follow.

Charlotte, East Horton Golf Club

Another impromptu photo shoot from Paige and Chris' wedding in the grounds of East Horton Golf Club, this time with YouTuber and blogger Charlotte Jones, whose style is bright and summery in her orange skater dress from Pretty Little Thing, complemented by matching lips and nails, and teamed with gold jewellery and nude grey Maison Valentino stiletto heels. The photograph below is among my favourites to date - for the lighting, for the colours, and for the plain fact Charlotte looks drop dead gorgeous.

Elizabeth Whibley & Yana Smith

Final-year Fashion Textiles students Elizabeth Whibley (left) and Yana Smith (right) are popping pink in their own vibrant and playful designs, which are being showcased at this year's Graduate Fashion Week alongside other collections from the University for the Creative Arts. The much anticipated UCA Rochester runway show takes place at 6 o'clock this evening and will be broadcasted live.

Steph, East Horton Golf Club

I volunteered myself as unofficial outfit photographer at my friends Paige & Chris' wedding, and it felt so good to be behind the camera and shooting street style again. (That is, if wedding attire can be considered "street style"?) I was introduced to Steph at the very same Bristol blogger meet-up that I met Paige, but I hadn't seen her since Camp Bestival 2012. Steph is now an accomplished wedding photographer, blogs about her family of Spaniels, and looks pretty damn snazzy in a sage-green corduroy suit.

Sammy, Regent Street

Sammy is a part-time model and works at fashion retailer Weekday on Regent Street. Catching him on his cigarette break, my attention had been drawn to the numerous and varied tattoos decorating his face and hands - "I have 'gentle' on my face, and 'lover'," he explains, "because people covered in tattoos are perceived as like... thugs. But no, I'm twenty-one and a nice normal person. The other tattoos are just my love for art." Sammy also wears a Carharrt t-shirt, Dickies trousers, Topman overcoat, and vintage Dr Martens boots.

Karolina, Upper St Martin's Lane

Karolina is a freelance stylist and Fashion Assistant at Unpolished Magazine. I have a lot of time and love for her chic monochrome ensemble, especially the lacy top with ruffle detail on the collar and cuffs. The outfit is mostly Zara, with exception for her vintage cowboy boots.

Federico, Balham High Road

Federico is the owner of Italian restaurant Bucci on Balham High Road, a few doors along from where I took this photo. There's much I love about Federico's minimalist ensemble, such as the pinstripe detail on his trousers, and the upturned collar of his long-sleeved polo shirt. I guess unsurprisingly, his outfit is also Italian by design.

Jonathan Daniel Pryce & Kitty Cowell

Kitty and I bumped into friend and photographer Jonathan shortly before getting a few snaps for her blog. Albeit a regular face on the Fashion Week circuit, it had been a while since I had last seen Jonathan, which reminded me just how much more I focus on shooting the runways than the street style scene. That said, I will happily take the time to photograph my friends at London Fashion Week, should they ask me. You can see more of my photos on Kitty's website: www.kittycowell.com
