Market Style

Lady outside newsagents, Whitechapel 1983

Out on a hot summers day this lady has sensibly used a woolly hat to keep the sun away. Her eccentric ensemble is championed by a flowery dress giving her a mark of distinction that happily removes us from the flavourless surroundings. The push chair she commands contains a coat and some bags so she has probably just begun to shop. On the day I took this photograph I can confirm that for me she was certainly the Queen of Whitechapel market.

The lady below illuminates Watney market with her shopping trolley and stylish dress. The squares of the trolley, curves of the shopping bag and psychedelic geometry of her dress combine to ensure we all have a better shopping experience.
