When asked to discuss what makes London intersting as a fashion capital I immediately thought of a cocktail. The different styles being the alcohol and mixed togethr make the perfect London vibe.
Pretty much anything goes in London. You can walk around Hoxton in a pink tu tu and punk t-shirt, wear a black power suit in Canary Wharf or a 50's prom skirt and cardigan for tea at the Ritz. It really is a mixture of stlyes and identies that keeps the cities fashion alive and intersting. Just like that Cosmopolitan.
I love the fact that Londoners can go to work in skinny jeans and converse trainers. It's laid back and practical. But teamed with the right vest and accessories it still looks stylish. We don't have to totter around the tube station in five inch heels, trying to balance on the escalator with a skinny cappacino in hand if we don't want to.
So if you wanted to try and explain London style in a word, it might be hard. Yes, we do have new trends emerging every season that find their way to the high street at a record time that are influential to the masses - but it is everybodies individual style that all contribute to Londons 'cocktail' style.
