It’s a balmy, mid-August day and the lunch hour rush is in full swing at Spitalfields, as urban professionals hurriedly chase down a cup of coffee from one of the street food venues. Jostling with them are the summer tourists who have come to London in search of our world famous art, fashion and design.
It is no surprise then, to find them scouring Spitalfields Market for hidden treasures and original fashion finds. London is the leading city for spotting street style, with our laid back, eclectic and creative anything- goes -approach we turn out some of the best looks on the block. And our markets are the locals’ high street.
Along with the tourists, I love to wander the area. While no longer the fashion secret it used to be, there is still an air of excitement in rummaging the rails, breathing in the vintage fabrics or finding that one of a kind piece. But today it is the market vendors who have caught my eye. It is their home, and the sartorial choices they make, from paired down military jackets to ethnic print wrap blouses not only reflect their wares but the creative canvas of our city.
