London Fashion Week starts this Friday and industry types are nonchalantly (read: furiously) planning their outfit schedule with meticulous care.
Looking like a discerning pro gets harder every season – how to distinguish yourself from the standard wannabe? Take a swift look at Cecila Doan’s shit bloggers wear tumblr and avoid the most totally fashion killa pieces as you see fit.
As brilliant as fashion parody sites are, they’re part of the FROW challenge. Easy sartorial choices such as a supersize pink coat, Birkenstock Arizona sandals and camouflage (your OBVIOUS default look yah?) suddenly provide ample ironic hipster comedy material.
The solution? Take your styling cue from one of the standout backstage stars at Alex Wang’s New York Fashion Week show; his little niece, Aila Wang:
She’s only 3 years old but sure knows how to drop some serious alternative fash-bombs. See below for her key pieces;
The statement goat skin
Alia gets top style marks for her full goat skirt. Grab a soft grey Teddie bag from Hobbs for a tactile finish.

Timberland boots, £160, timberlandonline.co.uk
The textured knit
