IN our weekly online column, ALINA POLIANSKAYA looks at who’s wearing what in Camden Town. 

Juliet Ayisi, who is a student at Brighton University, is “being a tourist for the day” in Camden Town. The 22-year-old, from Bromley, is wearing a chunky monochrome cardigan from New Look, a little pink vest top from Topshop, some black leggings from New Look and a pair of boots from Kurt Geiger. She finished off the look with a shiny black Fiorelli handbag and some large shades from ASOS. Juliet said she had dressed for the temperamental weather, that was sunny one minute and raining the next. She said the most important thing when it comes to picking an outfit is feeling confident, as “if you feel good, you look good”.

Shayla Naznin, from Bangladesh, is on holiday visiting friends in town. The 28-year-old, who works for an airline, is dressed in a colourful short-sleeved shirt made of fabric that was made in Bangladesh, along with a long blue skirt and a pair of little purple pumps from Primark. She has accessorised with gold hoop earrings, a matching bangle, and a quilted black bag, all from Dubai, along with a pair of large shades.

Stefania Sanz, 32, from Spain, came over to England for a wedding and is now enjoying a holiday. The primary school teacher is wearing a denim jacket from Stradivarius over a white t-shirt from H&M and some blue and white printed trousers from Zara. She has opted for strappy white sandals from a small shoe shop in Valencia, a white bag from Parfois and some round sunglasses with leopard-print flicks from an Italian brand called RetroSuperFuture. She said she is quite an eclectic dresser, and her outfit just depends on her mood that morning.

Lawrence Mota, 26, who is originally from Congo but living in Covent Garden, is sporting a quirky, colourful look. The business and law student at Goldsmiths University sees will.i.am as his style icon and is wearing a blue blazer from Zara, a t-shirt with Micky Mouse and Donald Duck prints, some dark jeans from H&M, with a flashy belt from Camden Market, and some Nike trainers. The hat, which finishes off the look, is from All Saints and the black-rimmed glasses are from a small shop in Camden Town. He said: “I am a musician, I play guitar, especially blues and jazz music, so I try to come out with a different style every day.”

Janne Huggins, who studies hospitality and tourism management and works part-time, is wearing a pencil skirt from Miss Selfridge along with a brown belt and a t-shirt from Forever 21, a long cardigan from Zara and some plimsolls from Office. She has added a leopard-print bag from Paul's Boutique and is prepared for the rain with a “cute” panda umbrella that she bought from a street vendor. The 29-year-old, from Holloway, is out for an after-work stroll, and is trying to keep herself “from shopping too much”.

Emmy “Noctemy” Lunden, 18, stands out from the crowd with her rather extravagant gothic style. The Swedish student, who is on holiday in London, is wearing enormous chunky boots from Demonia, a leather jacket from Red Queen's Black Legion, a black top from Heavy Red and shiny black leggings from Queen of Darkness. She has added dark sunglasses by Dahlia Deranged, a bag from Restyle and a custom-made bone necklace, earrings and a horned headband from Etsy. “I always thought differently about style, I never liked the whole pop and hipster thing,” she said. “I love my style, I have been building it up since I was a child.” She said that her look can take up to two-and-a-half hours to put together when she goes all-out, adding lashes, contact lenses and a full face of gothic make-up.
