Ellis Rhys Hill, who studies at Middlesex University, stands head and shoulders above the crowds, measuring in at around 7ft in his 6-inch platforms from TK Maxx. The 20-year-old fashion student made his skinny black trousers himself and teamed them with socks and a shirt from American Apparel, a sparkly crop top from Boohoo.com and a denim jacket from Rokit. He has accessorised with a backwards cap from Primark and some chokers from eBay. Ellis, from Bradford, said: “Wear what's comfortable, don't try to fit in with trends, if you like it, wear it.”
Alice Cespa, 20, from near Florence in Italy, stands out in her fun, quirky outfit. She works the layered look with a Micky Mouse jumper from Pull & Bear over a denim shirt from Primark and a coat from Woolrich on top, worn with ripped jeans from Bershka and maroon Dr Martens. She has accessorised with a furry hat from H&M, round glasses from an independent shop in Camden, a gold chain and a black bag from Prima Donna.
Luke Jackson from Preston, a writer who is best known for his book “Freaks, Geeks and Asperger's Syndrome”, is down for a day out in London. The 26-year-old author, who used to work around Angel, is wearing a striped Feraud shirt with a smart waistcoat, some French Connection trousers and black brogues. He has accessorised with a Criminal Damage belt and a colourful Marvel backpack. He said: “My style is eclectic, I throw everything together and I live in TK Maxx and charity shops. I also try and shop locally.”
“Cybergoth” Lucy Walker is wearing a long jacket from a cosplay website, which is a prop replica of a character in a video game called Devil May Cry. She has teamed it with a top from eBay, black skinny jeans from Tesco, New Rock boots and a bag from Cyberdog.

She has accessorised with a green scarf and a fedora hat from River Island and she carries a black bag from H&M. The 20-year-old psychology student, who prefers not to look “too serious” described her own style as “grannyish” but well put together.
