Street-Style Awards: The 25 Best-Dressed People From London Fashion Week
Photo: YoungJun Koo
This season, the Cut ranks the street-style looks from the previous days at Fashion Week. We’ve selected these 25 images out of the many that photographer YoungJun Koo shot in London to bring you this list. Agree? Disagree? Chime in below in the comments.
If street-style looks during New York Fashion Week were dominated by crisp shirt-dresses and layers of Céline, London was just the opposite: sparkles, kooky embroidered mini-dresses, and loads of fringe. The London shows, which began on Friday, brought out everyone from Eva Chen – radiant and, this time, a little more abstract – Poppy Delevingne looking like a 50’s pinup girl, and one woman who wore her cellphone on her skirt.
Click through our slideshow for the 25 who stole this weekend’s shows, with multi-colored hair, see-thru rainboots, and stuffed-animal bags and shoes. Because if there’s one thing this crew knows, it’s that when in London, you let your freak flag fly.

No. 25 — Peony Lim Although black is thought to be a photographer-repellent color, Peony Lim demonstrates that texture can pull its weight. Pairing fuzzy slippers with her Birkin and a baggy dress, she makes the list in the final spot.

No. 20 — Poppy Delevingne Poppy knows she doesn't have to make an effort to get noticed by street-style photographers, but she does anyway — here, she looked like a cool pinup girl in a graphic swater, fringe skirt, and bold sunglasses.
