We love Susie of Style Bubble for her international perspective and original content. We also love her because she's planning on making her very own Balenciaga metallic robot leggings. A friend snapped this photo of her in Paris during fashion week, where she said she was sans cute clothes and "looking like a destitute hobo." We think not, of course.
What She's Wearing: I'm wearing a Ben Sherman checked wool jacket with a huge oversized collar. Ben Sherman is actually seen as a bit of a cruddy label in the UK but I just really liked the oversized checks. No label snobbery here! Then there's the Christopher Kane for Topshop dress which I bought on the first day it came out - about 10 people were milling outside the doors and they literally ran into the store as soon as the doors opened even though there was no need! Underneath the skirt, I'm wearing a Sophia Kokosalaki white pleated skirt which I got in the Browns sale store on South Molton Street in London for about 10 pounds - that was a perk-me-up buy that day when everything else was depressingly expensive. To pick out the neon zip, I wore green neon tights. The shoes are really scuffed up but they're perfect flats for walking around Paris - they're by Fiorucci and I got them in Times Square in Hong Kong. Fiorucci is not really 'in Vogue' anymore but, hey, I like the shoes!
Q: What is your favorite item of clothing?
A: I can't possibly play favourites with my clothes! I love everything I buy even the tatty less expensive stuff as they're all essential components.
Q: Are you looking forward to any particular spring trends?
A: Futurism. Nobody wants to wear it so I want to really go all out with it. I'm actually trying to construct my own version of the Balenciaga C-3P0 gold plated leggings, a slightly more wearable, and infinitely less expensive version! I have bought a cheap batch of lame, sequinned fabrics and foil fabric that will hopefully be transformed into something terrifyingly trashy/futuristic.
Q: If you could describe your style as a fashion mashup, what would it be?
A: Madame Pompadour meets Lou Lou de la Falaise
