Continuing with our series of blogger interviews, we talked to teenage fashionista and blogger Hannah Rose about her love of furry black knickers, Camden, Carnaby Street and Courtney Love:

Qype: Can you tell Qypers who you are and what you do?

Hannah: I’m Hannah Rose, a fashion obsessed 19-year-old from London. Very grunge – regularly sporting big boots, studs, lace and leather – but always with a touch of glam. I’m a fashion blogger and hopefully, one day, will be a successful stylist.

Qype: What prompted you to start your blog, and what elements do you think have contributed to it becoming so popular?

Hannah: Creating the blog was actually a really spur of the moment thing. I’d been reading fashion blogs for a while and just thought to myself, I want my own! I can totally do this! I want to share my own style with people… So LONDON ROSE was born in 2009 and I’ve been addicted to blogging ever since! I took a break for a few months in March for personal reasons, then came back in June. Taking a break and returning to something really makes you re-assess it, and it made me so focused on making the blog as good as it could possibly be. I put 100% in and kept looking for new things I could do to improve it. It was then that the blog really took off and I started getting invites to amazing events such as London Fashion Week, and to star in programmes like ‘The Closet’ with Jameela Jamil, and ‘New Look TV’. The freebies are a huge bonus too, haha! It still feels so unreal to me… I’m hugely grateful for all the incredible experiences I’ve had, and for the amazing people I’ve met along the way.

I think maybe LONDON ROSE is as popular as it is because I’m really down to earth and approachable, I post almost every day, and my style is very different to all the other bloggers out there. I’m a lot less pristine and high fashion, and my clothes are really affordable instead of designer pieces. I love charity shops! You can find some gorgeous things in there.

Qype: Who’s your fashion icon?

Hannah: Courtney Love circa the 90s. Simply amazing!

Qype: Best designer you saw at London Fashion Week A/W 10? And the worst?

Hannah: The best has to be Topshop Unique – I absolutely loved their woodland theme and thought it was their best collection ever. Huge backcombed hair, fuzzy eyebrows, cosy knits, slouchy dresses, oversized shearling coats, furry black knickers, huge paw like mittens… AMAZING! And the styling was so perfect. I admit, it’s not my usual style, but I could see myself wearing almost everything they sent down the runway (grunged up a little, of course!)

As for the worst… I don’t like to be bitchy! I think every designer is so talented and creative, and just because their collection isn’t to my taste it doesn’t mean it’s bad. There are thousands of other girls out there who are bound to adore it! Everyone has different styles and different visions, and that’s a good thing!

Qype: What are your favourite places in London to visit when you want to do shopping?

Hannah: Carnaby street, Oxford Street, Camden, Portobello, Brick Lane… I’m a sucker for the high street and anything vintage! Beyond Retro is definitely one of my fave shops, and Topshop of course! The one on Oxford Street is HUGE – heaven, basically.

Qype: Give us one place which you think every Londoner should have in their ‘little black book of hidden gems’?

Hannah: Primrose Bakery – it’s so adorable, and in a really lovely part of London. It always makes me feel happy.
