Alia on bowler hats, Fashion Week, and why women can wear whatever they want

Hi, what's your name?
I'm Alia.

Where are you from?
London. I'm on holiday, but hopefully I'll be living here soon. I just came for Fashion Week.

Have you seen any shows?
I went to a couple. I've seen Custo Barcelona, and I shot some as well.

What's a style dealbreaker for you?
On a guy, it's got to be flip-flops. I think girls can wear anything they want.

Really?
Anything. Just as long as they carry it with pride.

Why flip-flops?
I don't know. I don't mind feet, but something about it just creeps me out a little bit. On the street, it's a bit dirty. I don't know, it's just too much.

What do people say is the sexiest thing about you?
I have no idea. My smile, I guess.

What's the trends have you seen people embracing in London right now?
Everyone's embracing vintage at the moment, and these hats. The girls are really into bowlers especially. I need to get one.

And in New York. Is it entirely different?
It's not entirely different, just a little bit. New York isn't as funky as London. Or at least it's not funky in the same way.
