England, a melting pot of style
How to define the style of the Londoners? Petulant, euphoric, sometimes at the limit of the trash but never boring: a dress expression, in quasi-rupture with the stylistic connivance of the other capitals of fashion, which claims its singularity through a mix of various alternative cultures and multiple underground influences.
One thinks of the punk movement in Vivienne Westwood's shops, the "so British" classicism glorified by the collections of the Burberry house, Paul Smith's pop dandyism, or the almost insolent rock eccentricity of Alexander McQueen , still today, transcend the culture of the country.
In the streets, this freedom of spirit is reflected by the vaporous skirts, mostly mini - big up to Mary Quant - clashes of ultra - vivid colors, prints galore and combinations of incongruous pieces whose example more convincing remains the junction evening gown and sneakers.

Big class.

Oopsy.
