Street Style: More Mid Century Modern



'My granny in Nigeria knits my hats for me,' says Moses Otunla, 45, 'every time I go she has three or four waiting.' Moses has been selling vintage furniture for over 10 years (mainly to Mr & Mrs That's Not My Age!) His fantastic shop, Bleu, is in Herne Hill.



Stuart Paterson, 43, buys antiques and art for clients. When we bumped into him, Stuart was buying for himself. He collects ugly anglepoise lamps and has a 'small forest of them at home.'



Simon White, 42, and Rumina Haji, 41, (Haji & White) sell vintage posters and antiques . Simon cuts a dash in his Kangol hat and heavy cotton jacket from a Parisian flea market. Rumina looks fab in a 70s Swedish housecoat.



'I'll try not to give myself 80 year old lips!' said Maxine Siwan, 49, re-applying her lipstick before being snapped. Maxine works as a consultant for Liberty, and has the wardrobe to prove it. McQueen scarf, Pauric Sweeney bag...I won't go on.

Time is on my side





'Look out you rock 'n' rollers, pretty soon now you're gonna get older,' warned Bowie in 1971. But 38 years later, The Stones are still rolling on. Charlie Watts, 68, still looks effortlessly stylish, in purple cashmere cardi and crisp gingham shirt on this week's Later. Watts plays with The ABC of Boogie Woogie, and Jools Holland - can that man not leave the piano alone for one week? A fan of classic tailoring and true British style, the best dressed Rolling Stone has grown old with dignity and a wardrobe full of sharp suits. Monosyllabic he may be, but as far as we're concerned Charlie Watts speaks volumes on the fashion front.

Band-mate Ronnie Wood, 62, may have stuck with the ageing rocker, leather jacket and black drainpipes combo, but he has designed a collection of t-shirts, scarves, dresses and bags for iconic London store, Liberty. OK, so he's no Stephen Sprouse but That's Not My Age did find one splashy floral print dress that we actually quite like.

And not forgetting, Sir Mick. 'The ultimate rock star' gives an interview in the October 09 issue of Vogue. So where's Keef?
