“I find my dress sense tends to be a bit of a mixture between high fashion and unique vintage pieces with a little bit of street trends.

“Fashion is not style. Nay, we can say more: Fashion is instead of style. Style is an idiom springing spontaneously from the personality but deliberately maintained. If you have no personality, you may be able to save your face and, possibly, your entire anatomy by following the current fashion, but all we shall know about you, when we see you coming down the street, is that you had enough money to buy a glossy magazine and were sufficiently cunning to work out the cut of the garments shown therein.” IfsKnowsMayEnoughAbleFacesCuttingStreetsFashionStylePersonalityCurrentsFollowingWork OutMagazinesYour FaceCunningGarmentsHad EnoughAnatomyIdiom Author:Quentin Crisp

“My uncle was the first brown person to have a market stall on Petticoat Lane in the 1960s. He worked his way up from the street.
