Check out the latest downtheditch styler which features Tim and Aiko we spotted lurking around Brick Lane.
Once again we have a nice mix of stylish smart jackets mixed with a more casual look and of course a smidgen of vintage in true Shoreditch fashion.
Have a look at our video to fine out a bit more about Tim and Aiko’s style.
Today we meet two students in Brick Lane who tell us about their fashion style, they tell us that they like to keep their style casual and comfortable.
They are a perfect example of understated style, where one can look stylish without having to go to extraordinary lengths to do so.
The standout items for both of the students are undoubtedly their jackets which clearly have a high-end premium feel which they manage to blend perfectly with their general casual look.
Find out more about the latest stars of our styler series in their video.
London Fashion Week may be over but we are continuing our downtheditch styler week, showcasing to you to hottest street style fashion in our beloved Shoreditch area. Next up we have Toni who is from Liverpool and was just down for the weekend visiting friends, the hat she wears was recent purchase to fight off the cold weather.
She describes her style as a mix donated gifts from friends with an eye for good style and a number vintage items which she has hunted down. The blue scarf pictured above is an example of a donated gift which she got from her mum.
Adding to the donated theme her bag is a gift from a her who visited Thailand and below you can see a close up of her skirt from Topshop. Toni does exceptionally well to make to blend the colours of gold, orange, purple and pink, she does it very well and makes it look very stylish.
Check out Toni’s video to see more!

His style is a blend of Topman, high street and vintage clothing, you are a ‘top man’ Sir!
Here is Mike’s video.
So last weekend we were out with our camera for the big Swagminati event at East Gallery on Brick Lane. It was a day full of independent, unique and undergrounds street wear fashion brands as well as good music, good food and good vibes. Under one roof we had some of the UK’s rising starts in terms of street wear fashion which included Dat Tag, Trikki Clothing, Fuudhoods, BSKA, Shining Heroes, Kay-em Tees, Sangster Jewellery and many many more hot brands. Take look at our video to find out what went down at the Lane, check out a great vocal and musical performance from singer and song writer Rufio Summers.

downtheditch styler episode 7 features Nicola, a recent fashion design graduate and vintage clothing businesswoman. We met at one of the vintage fairs near Brick Lane. Nicola shares with us her style of bright colours and material clash with her own creative hand-made jewellery. Come to see for yourself if you are amazed by the beautiful and clever necklace as I was.
downtheditch styler episode 6 features Jude from Jude’s Junkyard which he opens every weekend on Redchurch Street in Shoreditch. He tells us he’s wearing a vintage Coyote fur coat, which throws up issues about recycling, animal rights and staying warm in winter, I will let you make up your own minds on that one.
