IN our weekly online column, ALINA POLIANSKAYA finds out who's wearing what in Camden Town this week:
 
Eri Taguchi, 24, an art and fashion designer from Shepherds Bush has put together her multi-coloured outfit with a mix of finds from vintage markets in Camden, Shoreditch and Japan. Ms Taguchi, who particularly loves 50s-style dresses, says she hopes to open up a clothes store of her own one day. Today her vintage outfit consists of a maroon skirt, green cardigan, leopard print scarf and a pink bow.
 

Kwok Hang, 26, who spends his time travelling between England and Germany, says he much prefers London style: “People are much more daring over here; you see so many different looks.” The platinum-haired globetrotter is wearing red trousers from Forever 21 with a Superdry jacket and a top from Metal Rooster in Camden.

Mery Kloss, 24, has twisted up her vibrant red hair to brighten up her all-black outfit. The fashion designer is dressed up in lace leggings with a pair of shorts from Primark, a leopard print top underneath a black T-shirt from H&M, and a leather jacket from Italy. Ms Kloss describes her look as “fun and sexy”; her friends call it “amazing”.

Verena Biber, 26, who works as a fashion designer in Shoreditch, takes her style inspiration from Japanese rock. She is wearing a scarf from a flea market, a black coat from New Look, a black dress which was a ‘random present’, and shoes from H&M, finished off with lots of necklaces and bright lilac hair.

Victoria Legge, 23, a website manager from Bath, was keeping warm in a soft furry coat that she snapped up on E-bay for just £7. She is also wearing a black Palace t-shirt, a ‘very battered’ pair of Vans and a fake Versace scarf from a market. As for the vast array of gold animal brooches half-hidden by her hair, Miss Legge said “There is literally a zoo going on on my coat!”

Norah Al Saleh, 22, who is from Saudi Arabia but studies in London, is a big fan of designer clothes. Today she is wearing a Louis Vuitton bag and gold Valentino heels along with a leopard print top from All Saints and some dark skinny trousers. The part-time model’s fashion advice is “wear clothes that make everybody’s heads turn.”
