India
As Coco Chanel once said 'simplicity is the keynote to true elegance'. India proves that Mademoiselle Chanel is indeed correct in her saying. I would call India's style simple but with a twist. Take a rather subdued base palette; as shown below for example, where we see an entirely black base. However we do not just see matte black, we cast our eyes onto an array of textures; her top being a velour texture, tucked into black denim. (an example of texture-blocking, a big trend in this fall season, seen at Fendi and Céline ). 'Colourful', she says when I ask about how she would describe her style. Shown through the geometric print of her structured purple jacket. Which adds an audacious colour-pop; perfectly complementing her rich, golden hair.
This is eternal elegance.

Izzi
Style is about individuality and Izzi is a great example of that. Her style is influenced predominately by the 90s, however combined with an alternative edge of retro indie. One day it's denim dungarees paired with classic Doc Martens, the next is an oversized distressed sandy jacket layered on top of a dark-toned vintage flannel shirt. Her use of jewellery is outstanding, the different combinations of tattoo chokers, pendants and crystals add more depth to her look, juxtaposed with a slight mysterious angle. The clothes speak personality and for me each look delivered tells a story.

Georgie
I have never met a girl who has given their debit card an outing quite as much as Georgie. It is truly remarkable how she is able to produce a completely different outfit every single day, comprising of a new colour theme and general 'new look'. This girl deserves an award! Describing her style, it is very difficult to categorize her into any select styles, one day she's preppy, one day she's wearing head-to-toe Zara. One day it's a smock dress accompanied by some vintage wonders. One can never just determine what she'll wear next, it's always a suprise! In this look, Georgie wears an outfit, wholely built up from Urban Outfitters pieces (her jacket and jumper-which she assures me is not a Christmas jumper) on top of a bed of my favourite colour, black. Georgie is definitely one to look out for in the near future.

Emmy
Emmy is the definition of an English Rose. Think Rosie Huntington-Whitely or Suki Waterhouse, for example. Dewy skin, luscious brown hair, penatrating green eyes and a respectably simple, but sophisticated style. Take this look; now what do we think when I say double denim? Yes that's right, we think Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake in what they would describe as 'coordinating' double denim (I can assure you that that is not coordination, that is a complete disaster!). However, in Emmy's case double denim is no problem; just simply change the colour scheme and you can totally pull it off. Emmy mixes quintessential Britain with a slight Parisian vibe; perhaps a tweed skirt with military'esque pockets (Balmain fall 2014) accompanied by a crisp roll-neck jumper and mohair jacket. There is a great sense of effortless luxuriousness in all of her looks produced.
