You were part of the Lala London Crew shoot, what are your favourite pieces of the AW16 collection? I have a soft spot for the knitwear…it will elevate anything from a simple skirt to wide-leg pants.
How would you describe Lala Berlin’s look? The clothes are easy but never boring, and work from day-to-night without a second thought besides, “where are we meeting up for drinks after work?”
How would you describe your style? I have built a wardrobe of hard-working staples, ala Francaise, mixed in with the unabashed English mentality of, “do what you want”. In my case, that probably means being the least dressy person in the room at a cocktail party. Come as you are. Never apologise for who you want to be.

Just pick the clothes up off the floor that belong to the guy you stayed with the night before

What’s your secret outfit for an “I have nothing to wear” day? Just pick the clothes up off the floor that belong to the guy you stayed with the night before. Failing that; high-waisted denim with a loose fit white tee.
What do you think will be the biggest trends of this season? I think super-sleeves are going to be a major trend, and metallics and ’90s slipdresses.
You are a Parisian living in London, what are your tips to the British capital? I get my morning coffee from The Good Life Eatery, and always order an iced almond milk latte. I can then be found at The Electric (my unofficial office) in Notting Hill. In the evening you can find me at the Anglesea – the official pub for all London-based Eurotrash, or dancing the night away in East London.

Tell us about your agency, Spotding, what was the idea behind it, and how does a typical day in your life look like? I help brands from all over the world to position themselves in the UK. A typical day can vary, and normally consists of a mix of office work, meetings with influencers & media relations, attending fashion events or photoshoots.
You styled this shoot, what the concept behind it?
The idea behind the shoot was to work with a group of my London-based girlfriends, whose style I think fit to the Lala Berlin world. The shoot took place in their area, or inside their homes to create a relaxed and personal atmosphere.
What are your favourite pieces of the AW16 collection? I really fell in love with the vintage inspired silk shirt, the leather skirt, the classic detailed black dresses and the long coats in both mint and black.

How would you describe your style? My style is very eclectic and I dress according to my mood. It can be described as `70s Boheme, mixed with classic wardrobe essentials.
What trends do you think will be big for AW16?
I love the whole `90s vibe that’s going on, I have dug out an old choker and my Dr.Martens.
What do you love about London? A Saturday walk on Portobello Road to find vintage and antique bargains is always top of my list.

Franziska Steinle

How would you describe your style?

My style is relaxed, more “garcon” than girly, no surprise I love the style of Emmanuelle Alt, Caroline de Maigret or Jane Birkin, who definitely have inspired the way I dress
What’s your secret outfit for an “I have nothing to wear” day? Jeans, velvet blazer, a white loose-fitting T-shirt, my Céline sunglasses.
