U: Alec King
If someone was to describe your personal style what do you think they would say?
BOLD. A mix of different patterns and prints I like to stay true to British tailoring, so at least one of the items in my outfit will have that feel.
Describe your personal style.
I have always dressed for me, I always draw inspiration from black 1970s and 60s style playing with proportions etc.
Why have you chosen the outfits you chose today?
I feel the outfits show the different sides of my style and the continuity between.
What is your favourite colour and why?
Green recently, I moved to London and I grew up in the countryside, and there is something about the colour that just resonates with home when I see the colour.
Do your religious beliefs affect the way you dress and why?
I have always been surrounded by religion and by people that have different views, but always felt I didn’t connect to a strict religion, so say I’m more spiritual and with that my style is quite free.
Are you scared to take risks when it comes to fashion?
No, if it looks dope in an outfit I would try it and flex it.
How has your style evolved over the last five years?
I’m gonna say my style is always evolving.
Does social media influence the way you dress?
Not so much influence but gives me ideas on looks or shoots.
Do you express your personal style in all social encounters? (e.g. church,work, clubbing, shopping)
I always do, I dress from me.
Who is your style icon and why?
Jimi Hendrix!! He wore what he wanted to and was authentic, closely followed by Zoe Kravitz.
How does social media affect the way you dress?
It just makes me want to always push my creativity.
How does your state of mind influence your choice of outfit?
I really am influenced by mental state. If I am tired i like to be comfortable and wear a minimal palette tone. If I have time to think about the outfit a lot of accessories are added.
What is your favourite item of clothing and how does that make you feel?
Not so much clothing but my jewellery because it’s very personal to me.
