If you’ve ever wiled away an hour or seventeen trawling through galleries of the street style on display outside international show venues, you’ll no doubt be familiar with Julia Sarr-Jamois’ inimitable brand of personal style.
Her deft ability to mix pared down wardrobe staples with texture, pattern and colour brighter than your future is nonpareil. It’s a sensibility that also runs through her work as both a stylist, a contributing editor-at-large to magazines like Wonderland and i-D and in her latest role as one of THE ICONIC’s aptly-named icons of fashion for a new campaign in which Sarr-Jamois stars alongside the heavenly Foxes and antipodean screen alum Samara Weaving in the latest drop from labels like River Island.
In occasion of the latter feat, we had Julia draft you up a rough itinerary to help you make the most of London’s iconic streets next time you just happen to be in London, as seen through the eyes of one of the city’s singular tastemakers.
In other words, this is her England:

I don’t shop online a lot but when I heard about the 3 hour delivery time on The Iconic I was pretty impressed. Someone needs to bring that to England!

WHAT’S LONDON’S BEST KEPT SECRET AND YOUR FAVOURITE TOURIST TRAP?
There are so many beautiful parks in London, [and] probably anywhere around central London.
WHERE WOULD YOU TAKE FRIENDS WHO WERE ONLY IN TOWN FOR A WEEKEND?
Breakfast at The Wolseley, a bit of shopping in Dover Street, before a stroll around Green Park; the walk up to Mount Street has all the best shops and another fave of mine, Scott’s. I’d stop there for lunch then head to Brixton, then maybe see a film at The Ritzy Cinema and dinner at Elephant.
