Throughout fashion month, the Cut is ranking street-stylers on their outfits, crowning a winner of our Golden Peacock medal each time. Last year’s winner (and Amazon Fashion’s NYFW Style Expert), Shiona Turini, will help us filter through all of the photos shot by Youngjun Koo to pick out the best-dressed of the bunch. Agree? Disagree? Discuss in the comments below.
New York Fashion Week’s a wrap — but now, the street-style games continue in London. And unlike the weather in New York, it’s been a balmy 50 degrees across the pond, so everyone instantly shed their heavy fur coats and we finally saw some lewks. Some went balls-out and introduced new brands to the mix: Model Daniela Kocianova, for example, wore a crazy getup by streetwear label CheekLDN. Also in the wacky camp: Elina Halimi in her modern art–esque Litkovskaya coat. Others went for a more neutral palette — like Natasha Goldenberg in J.W. Anderson’s twist on the classic trench — and Natalie Joos, who wore a flared Natasha Zinko daisy suit. But only one can win the first London award, so click ahead to see who placed on top.
No. 20 - Chelsea Leyland Lip balm? Check. Mirror? Check. Though we'd suggest a snack or two in that Mark Cross see-through bag.
