You'd never guess from the sense of space in this photo that I nearly got knocked over by a cyclist, 2 cars and around 40 pedestrians whilst trying to get the shot. It's come out almost monochromatic but for that amazing doll-like complexion and a peek of burgundy cut-off under the crochet tunic. This girl (must start asking people their names) was flyering for the new Blitz Vintage Department Store on Hanbury Street, sister shop to The Vintage Store from where you may remember Ella of this post. Seems like this chain has got east London street style all sewn up! Pop down for a visit soon and maybe I'll see you there...
Also this week:
My photo of Ella (and several others) was also featured recently in Japanese street style magazine Jille, who did a whole page about my blog ...huge thanks to the lovely Aya and Sayaka who spent an afternoon with me shooting for the feature, which you can see below on the left page:
Don't forget I'm currently judging the Westfield Stratford City's 'Create your Take' competition , to celebrate their launch, and will be looking for your version of a family portrait. The prize is good...all I can say is start thinking who your ten favourite people are.
And finally, I've discovered my new favourite self-style blog this week, and just had to give a shout out to the gorgeous Emily of It Girl Rag Doll, who also featured in the August issue of Jille.
Fantastic shot - what an outfit. I always admire how yourself and other street style photographers go to such lengths to get your photos! But I'm so glad you do - it is blogs like yours who show exactly what fashion is about, people out and about in diverse and interesting and amazing outfits. Have a lovely weekend!
