Style on the streets

Street smart

Vintage finds

We love this vintage Pierre Cardin skirt. Dawn Green, 45, found it on one of her buying trips for Paul Smith, and couldn\'t bear to part with it.

Suits you

William Gilchrist, 44, always wears a suit and always rides a bike. Unless it\'s raining when he sticks his Brompton in the back of a cab! Here he is, cutting a dash in an Oliver Spencer jacket.

Colour is key

Sue Evans, 62, says, ‘Ban beige!\' We love the way she teams clashing brights with a striking necklace, ‘I\'d like to say it\'s Marni but it\'s actually Accessorize!\'

Eye-catching style

We spotted MJ Taylor  - and her eye-catching coat - in the crowd. And weren\'t surprised to hear that this elegant lady has been modelling for over 40 years. She\'s got class.

Services to design

Brian Godbold, 66, has an OBE for services to British fashion design. The former chairman of the British Fashion Council looks fantastic in Helmut Lang suit, Gap scarf and Prada shoes.

Classic style

Proving that less is definitely more, Doushka Krish, 43, looks tres chic in her Kinder Aggugini jacket, classic white shirt and Zara Capri pants.

Dressing up

Not only is Ann Shore founder of the fabulous Story boutique in Spitalfields, she\'s also a successful  fashion stylist. Just look at this fabulous dress she\'s created from a piece of Indian silk.  Her vintage ‘You can\'t get them like this anymore\' jacket and old J&M Davidson bag aren\'t bad either.

Friend of the stars

David Courts, 64, designed this skull ring for Keith Richards they\'ve been friends for 42 years. It\'s only rock and roll but I like it!

Squeaky clean

One of the few people dressed for the sweltering heat, Barry Kamen, 46, (and yes you may recognise that name!) says , ‘I\'ve had these trousers for 25 years and I still haven\'t spilled anything on them.\' Well done that man.

Toned up

We\'ve decided to call this the ‘blonde on blonde approach.\' Jules Winstanley, 45, owner of TCS store in Teddington, knows that pale gold and sandy colours look fab with fair hair.
