Hailing from East London’s burgeoning art scene that is Hackney Wick, Rory cites Bryan Ferry - of 70’s Roxy Music fame - as the ultimate style icon that he model’s himself upon. For those of you who find Bryan Ferry unheard of, Rory kindly lends words to our imagination, “Think Glitter. Think Blazers. Think Glitter Blazers!” With such a potent fashion muse - it is no wonder that Rory has managed to set himself apart from the dull sea of banker’s beiges at LSE’s campus – by kitting himself out in a red lumber-jacket that subtly screams of LSE patriotism. Casually kicking his heels with masculine cowboy boots, Rory is the prime example that boots are not just designated for those on the set of Brokeback Mountain. In fact, I am positive that city-slickers will soon catch on to man-boots, lest they get left behind by their horse-riding counterparts. So where exactly does one acquire such astute fashion taste? “I recommend ‘The Secret Sample Sale’ at the Truman Brewery – it is the only place in the world where you can snap up a Burberry jacket for a tenner.” Upon being prompted about his views on LSE’s fashion, Rory suggests himself being christened as ‘The Fashion Interventionist’ – a role in which he would wave a fashion wand over his International Development lecturers to transform their ‘overly beige attire’ to ‘more colourful numbers.’ In particular, Lloyd Grubert would his first choice up for the fashion chop. Don’t say you weren’t warned…
