Columbia Road, London

Street Style - Jacob, Columbia Road
I spotted Jacob on the sidelines of the busy Columbia Road Flower Market, where he was picking up flowers for a wedding. It was interesting to learn Jacob's profession is an urban planner, since my own day job lies similarly in architecture. He wears a Pretty Green jacket, Zara jeans, and Aldo shoes.

Richard & Ruby, The Strand

Street Style - Richard & Ruby, The Strand
More often than not, my favourite street style photos from fashion week aren't of the show-goers, but of passers-by. Richard and Ruby may not be as outrageously dressed as the fashionistas in the Somerset House courtyard, but I don't go to photograph outfits, I go to photograph people. When I put my eye to the camera and aim my lens, I want to capture a moment. And if the subject so happens to be a snappy dresser... well, that's simply a bonus.

Street Style - Paradigmz, Tweed Run 2014
Paradigmz is a professional dance teacher. I was drawn by the antitheses between his vintage-inspired two-piece and the contemporary chrome of his bicycle.

Sumika, Tweed Run

Street Style - Sumika, Tweed Run
The Tweed Run is one of many reasons why I want to live in London. Cycling around the city on a hot day, dressed to the nines in tweed, may sound like utter madness, but it is my idea of a vintage heaven. Even I felt under-dressed among the five hundred dapper dandies and ladies picnicking in Russell Square, such as the fantastically dressed Sumika, posing here in tartan plus-fours, a tweed jacket, and a floral bow tie.

Pitango Bikes launch party

Pitango Bikes

Bicycles are beautiful things. And by 'bicycles', I am not referring to the cheap two-wheel deals you get from Halfords. I am talking about sleek and sturdy cycles, built for sailing down suburban streets, or darting through the city.

At the launch of Pitango Bikes' new collection, I could not help lusting after their elegant designs. I have yet to invest in a proper bicycle, i.e. one that will last more than two years, and Pitango have certainly captured my interest. Although costing £375 upwards, their bikes are fully customisable, maintain beautiful aesthetics, and will serve the rider well for years on end. I suppose I will have to start saving.

Cyclist on Long Acre, Covent Garden

Street Style - Johan, Covent Garden
Johan's style caught my eye as he cycled along Long Acre. But unlike famed street style photographer Scott Schuman, I did not have a bicycle myself to catch up with him. It therefore came as a surprise that he stopped on the opposite side of the road, and he kindly agreed to have his photo taken. Johan wears Clarks shoes, Cheap Monday jeans, Barbour coat, Adidas shirt, vintage hat, and Czech army bag. His bicycle is also vintage.
