Shop Boys
1/2Selling Point On weekends, I work as a salesperson at Dover Street Market, the hip department store owned by Rei Kawakubo of the Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons. It sells everything from special-edition trainers to Lanvin dresses. You can learn a lot about style working in a cool shop. I love examining the new collections up close when they come in. There's always so much I want for myself. I spend every penny I earn on clothes. If my dad knew, he'd kill me!
Positive Outlook I always tell customers they look amazing, no matter what!
Old English I like to bring the opposite ends of fashion together, like streetwear mid with high-end pieces. I'm not shy about accessories either. Ribbons can make great bow ties. Beau Brummel is my style icon. I'm obsessed with the whole dandy look. For my eighteenth birthday I had a dandy-themed party.
Hey, Mister DJ I DJ in my spare time, and would eventually like to combine music with a career in fashion. It runs in the family. My mum used to work for Comme in the eighties and my dad set up Rough Trade Records, the label the Strokes are signed to.
2/2Family values I help out on Saturdays at my mum's Notting Hill jewelry boutique, Solange Azagury-Partridge, doing everything from opening the door for clients to laying out jewelry and being the mail boy. It's always a fascinating crowd—customers run the gamut, from rock stars to aristocracy.
Gem Dandy I like to think I dress quite minimally. I don't go for anything too flamboyant, though I do have a pink diamond stud in my right ear. I wear it for a bit of subtle bling.
Kid Rock When I'm not working or at school, I play bass in a band. We've had a few gigs recently. Our biggest was at the Barfly in Camden, opening for the Bombay Bicycle Club.
