“I’m a student and model. I’m on my way to a casting now. I study music and computing.

“So this hoodie – I made it myself. I picked out the colour and made the logo and sewed it on myself. These jeans are from H&M – off-white jeans – stretch, slim. I like them. Then mint reeboks which match the mint hoodie. I actually got them from Ebay for like £20 – a bit of a bargain. This jacket is a Japanese ski jacket. I can’t remember where I got it from. I think it was a present or something. It’s hard to find.

“I would say I really like colours. That’s most important to me in my style. Not necessarily always – but today it’s flashy colours – it’s more that I like to match colours together.”

“We’re students – from just outside London.”

What are you studying and where?

Ellie: “Fine art and history of art.”

Imi: “Economics – and we’re both at Leeds.”

Imi: “My shoes are Nike.”

Ellie: “So are mine.”

Imi: “They’re actually fake, from Morocco. They were like £12 which is quite good because they’re normally like £80. My leggings are from American Apparel. My sweatshirt is from Ebay. And the jacket is North Face.”

Ellie: “I think the dungarees are Asos. My jumper is actually Sainsbury’s. And the jacket is vintage … I don’t really know. Don’t know if you can see in the photo but my bag is from a random shop in Barcelona.”

“I’m a dancer. I trained at a professional dance school and graduated almost two years ago now. I’m just working in dance and stuff – travelling with it. I’m based in London, but if a job comes up … like I went to Italy last year to dance so was over there for five weeks, I think it was, in Milan, which was great.

“Typical black jeans – I just shove these on – from Topman, I believe. Standard Topman. And I’ve got Doc Marten boots on. A plain white t-shirt from maybe like Primark and another one underneath to get the layered look going on. And a Kooples jacket which I just bought.”

“I’m taking a break from work – I’m working through a decanter of wine whilst working which I bought when I was in Paris. It’s really cheap and really good, only four euros.

Who are your influences?

“I grew up a big fan of Alexander McQueen, so I suppose he is an influence. The boots are Timberland, Rehnsen jeans, a Zara jacket. I don’t know about the sweatshirt or scarf – they’re from thrift shops, as is the watch.

“I wear black to reflect my lungs.”

“These are literally just my everyday clothes… the jeans are ASOS, my trainers are Nike.”

What about the coat?

“Oh, it’s from Gloucester Green market.”

Are you waiting for something?

“My Ocado delivery. I think that that’s the guy there outside, actually, but he’s not due until five so I have just enough time to be in this!”
