Fashion Thirst decided to interview some London Fashion Week show attendees about their interesting outfits. We bumped in to Rawaa – pronounced RUUWA and asked about her hip and fun clothing items.

Q. What inspired your outfit this morning Rawaa?

Answer:

When I’m deciding what to wear, I tend to be drawn to one particular object in my wardrobe, with the outfit building organically around it. It might be a shoe, dress, jacket, lingerie or even some new makeup.  This morning it was all about the skirt; black, short, stiff fabric covered in neon bright swirls of acrylic paint.

The peplum effect was achieved by wearing the skirt high on the hips, paired with a wide, waist-cinching belt over a body-con black dress with a cut-out sweetheart neckline.

My striped, “Beetlejuice” jacket was a gift from an amazing photographer, Trevor Spiro, after a shoot we did together. There’ve been nights out when I’ve almost lost it, the thought that might happen fills me with dread!

Q.  Rawaa tell us about your shoes, how high are the heels?

Answer:

Like most of my shoes, these hot pink stilettos are 4 ½ to 5 inches high. People who know me would probably die of shock if I ever went anywhere in jeans and flats!

Q. Who influences your style the most and who are your favorite designers ?

Answer:

My style is considered and carefully put together, but too eclectic and playful to ever be called polished. That’s why I love the fashion in London. The only other place where street style is as free and creative is Tokyo.  It’s also why I’m drawn to our designers, to the irreverence they display for the rule book… Westwood, McQueen and Christopher Kane are personal favourites.

 Q.  What do you do?

Answer:

After spending 8 years building a career in Public Relations – and inspired by my friend Richard Johnstone – I’ve decided to take a leap and break into fashion. I’m currently interning with a hot new label, and looking to make my mark as a stylist. Being at LFW has just been amazing; the clothes, atmosphere and talent have all been incredibly inspiring.

So the style maven does it again. Rhianna was spotted last week sporting the much coveted Mulberry Bayswater. Posing with a fan, Rhianna looked stylish and snug in a fur trimmed tan jacket and acid wash jeans with perfectly matched Bayswater in tow – with even her bronze tresses coordinating. At £650 a pop, this classic treat of a tote has been quilted in a gorgeous light wash denim with saddle leather trims.
So chic, it almost makes me want to weep. Someone give me the number of her stylist….
