There’s no getting away from it – part of the breathless anticipation of any Fashion Week are the Street Style photos of the good, the bad and the fabulous pretending they’re unaware they’re the players in their own performance.

An unfortunate accident? Or the latest accessory?

Because ultimately, even with this small number of elite beings, they’ll only be a select few who can really tick the boxes and dress the way you want to feel.

But they still all know to carry themselves with extreme confidence, no matter what they feel like inside..and as perception becomes more important than truth it makes these some of the most interesting, schizophrenic moments to secretly observe.

We’re no longer in the land of princesses.  What we wear, even to posh events is becoming more generalised, more ‘every day’.  Which is why these flashes of inspiration are so important – they’re within our grasp.

But innovative and desirable is still the holy grail.

The pictures tell us: To change our spots, all we need to do is change our skins. Essentially, they give us hope.
