We caught up with the real people who starred in our latest campaign to find out their favourite Bromley memories and discuss all things style.
Words by Imogen Smith
No, you’re not seeing things. The people you see in our latest Autumn campaign are all Bromley locals! They’re people you may well have seen in your local coffee shop, park or pub. They have stories about Bromley to share, jokes to crack and tips to reveal.
They’re grounded in the area as much as you are and they all have a distinct sense of style. It was for all of these reasons we wanted to focus our campaign on the people who make up Bromley’s diverse community. Everyone you see in the campaign has been hand-picked to fashion some of our favourite autumnal looks shot around Bromley, in places you’ll be all too familiar with.
To get to know them a little better, we chatted to our ‘models’ behind the scenes to pick their brains for their favourite Bromley memories and style insights.
Without further ado, allow us to introduce you to the shiny happy people behind our Autumn campaign!

KATY PROKHOROVA
Q: What is your favourite Bromley memory?
A: I love to walk around the city and look at beautiful houses and try to guess who lives in them, who these people are and what life stories live behind the walls. Also, I enjoy watching older couples chilling in the morning, having their coffee in one of the many coffee shops in The Glades or nearby on the high street.

Q: How would you describe your personal style?
A: I think I dress for my mood completely and don’t necessarily stick to what’s ‘on trend’. It changes day to day, I definitely have some tried and trusted brands that I stick to but for the most part my style is pretty fluid.
Q: What does style mean to you?
A: Whatever makes you happy and makes you feel confident regardless of what you’re wearing. I think it’s so personal to yourself.
