The Luella sample sale was a cracking success, the team stayed open later and for longer because of the immense interest. Yours truly queued up to nab a few bargains and while I was waiting in line I spotted Geannine Pollazzon's fabulous outfit.
Those Melissa shoes again, can't say no to coral? When I spoke to Geannine she explained that she is a recent graduate from the University of East London and now works at Liberty. She still makes clothes when she finds the time. The top, which features an exposed zip and leopard print bias binding is made from a peachy soft silk, and the dress underneath, worn as a skirt are both her creations, we LOVE!
When we spotted this retro queen at the launch of Hoxton venue The Bathouse and we were immediately all a-google!
It turns out that Paloma Faith as she is named, is a singer with an eye for exciting clothes, we love her leopard print body, and check out the be-bowed gloves and diamanté 'P' brooch. If you like your vocalists girly and retro-tinged then you will love her soulful pop ballads. Unsurprisingly she has drawn comparisons with Amy Winehouse, but it's her penchant for fanciful clothes and catchy tunes that set her apart. Take a look at her video after the jump

We stopped Lara Klawikowski just outside the catwalk at Graduate Fashion Week. She was all dressed up for the gala, and she looked great!
Lara is a 4th year Design student at Cape Town University and had won a trip abroad with her tutor, she was only spending a few days in the capital but had already fallen in love. We snapped her because the chic layering is spot-on and we love the texture of her dress. The peeptoe bootees and sequin shrug are très de rigeur at the moment, and polish her look off perfectly.
20 year old Charlotte Welsh caught my eye as soon as I stepped out of Earls Court. With her aura of hair, geek glasses and pinstriped purple tights (Oasis) she cut quite a figure outside. I especially liked her dress, with its intricate floral pattern, which it turned out she had made herself.
We bumped into Esther after the Ravensbourne show, toting an SLR camera and looking pretty cool. The Fashion Textiles student hails from Manchester University and kindly stopped to chat and pose for pictures.
There's no OTT designer or out there retro to her outfit, instead it's just an effective mix of simple pieces. We love the way the army jacket makes the look immediately more casual and wearable. Her bag is from Retro Rehab, one of the many great vintage stores in Manchester, and her cute socks are from H&M.
We couldn't have a special Graduate Fashion Week edition of 'We Love What You're Wearing' without including River Island's Arieta Mujay.
We're already big fans of her fun and individual style and yesterday's look was no exception. Sporting cutoff shorts, loafers and an oversized cardigan it was a boyish look which was made a little more feminine and punchy with hot pink lippy and some seriously cool shades. Arieta was also rocking a bum bag like no-one else can, which prompted a conversation about how utterly indispensable they are. Are you a secret bumbag fan?
Off-duty model is such a hot look that Alexander Wang pretty much based his entire last collection on the theme.
Inevitably Elite model Julie D looks great on camera, but it was her easygoing jacket and leggings combo which caught my eye. With a great statement haircut the rest takes care of itself, which in Julie's case is a tweed vintage jacket and a military style brooch from Spitalfields market.
