Prada, prep and cowrie shells: street style at London fashion week – in pictures

Never mind the shows, the streets are where the real peacocking happens. Here’s the best of what we spotted in the capital over the weekend

Ngozi Fulani, CEO of Sistah Space

What are you wearing? A lot of these pieces I’ve had for a very long time so it’s hard for me to remember, but I think the black dress is from Debenhams. The cowrie shells are from Ghana and the gold jewellery is available to buy from our Sistah Space shop in Dalston, London. What are you most looking forward to? The Feben presentation. She has been a big investor and supporter of my charity, which is a non-profit initiative created to bridge the gap in domestic abuse services for women and girls of African heritage.

Aleff Correa, pastry chef

What are you wearing? The jacket was made by my partner’s cousin, he is a Brazilian designer with a label called Von Trapp. The pinstripe shorts are from Cos, the bag is vintage and my Tabi shoes are Maison Margiela. What are you most looking forward to? I’m not going to any of the shows, but I’m a real fashion enthusiast. I love to walk around the city and experience the fashion week feeling with my friends.

What are you wearing? The top, jeans and hardware are all by the incredible designer Sinéad O’Dwyer. The top is a never before seen piece.
