Her streetstyle for the shows definitely resembled a type of "uniform" for the season, fabulously tailored pants, great coats and some sort of print. She looked super classy this season in my opinion.
Yes I believe Because London is an online magazine run by Tank Magazine. She's editor-in-chief of Because London and fashion director of Tank Magazine. The thread title probably needs to change.

I live in London but grew up in Montreal. My mum is Singaporean Chinese and we used to collect Chinese robes when I was younger. I don't really wear them; I hang them in my wardrobe just to have them there. This robe was one I chose when I was living in Singapore as a management consultant. I hope it's one of those things that you can hand down - I'm about to have a niece and I'm trying to figure out which bits of my wardrobe she can have when she's old enough.
In my first months at Tank I went to a Christian Louboutin press sale. I'd been wearing bad management-consultant-type heels. All of sudden I was introduced to a world of amazing shoes and I bought this pair of slingbacks. I wore the shoes to my first formal magazine dinner and we won an award, so I thought, 'These are my lucky shoes!' I tend not to wear them often, but when I do good things always happen.

Prada does incredible crystal-laden accessories. These rose earrings from the spring collection were a gift. It's amazing how putting on statement earrings completely changes a look. I first wore them at the menswear shows and everybody commented on them.
I had a lot of suits when I was a management consultant, but when I started at Tank and saw all the clothes we were shooting I became more experimental. This gauzy Jil Sander dress with bows at the shoulder was my first big designer purchase. I loved how she knew what professional women needed. When I bought my flat six months ago, I was unpacking and found it. I hadn't worn it for years but now I've started wearing it again.
