Known for their instinctive style, the duo channel their 90s and early-00s upbringing into a wardrobe of elevated staples. Plus, that same eye carries through to where they eat, drink and shop. From the restaurants they book on repeat to the places they always return to, the girls-about-town share everything they’re loving… ByElaine Lloyd-Jones [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/52397) Photography: Debute All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

The fashion scene in the late 90s/2000s had so much edge and individuality. There was such a strong sense of self-expression through style. There is something so authentic and unapologetic about it. There have also been so many revolutionary British designers that I get inspired by every day: Galliano, McQueen, Westwood. **Jazzy:** London has an eccentricity to it that I love. My friends, my family, walking in the park with my dog, Banana – also music, museums, and Portobello Market. There’s something about it. Maybe it’s the fact that it’s usually grey, so everyone makes up for it with a great sense of humour. **Lola:** I think what [Saint Laurent](https://www.ysl.com/en-gb) is doing with its lingerie and slips is so effortlessly cool and chic. I also adore what Chemena Kamali is doing at [Chloé](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=46111&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chloe.com%2Fen-gb) – you just put it on and instantly feel beautiful and feminine. **Jazzy:** I’m also loving Saint Laurent, as well as Courrèges and I loved what Pieter Mulier did at Alaïa. I’m excited to see what he does next at Versace too. **Lola:** I am a huge vintage collector. I don’t really do trends and never want to be dressed the same as anyone else. I buy my vintage pieces from a wide range of places – Portobello Market, Archival, [Aralda Vintage](https://araldavintage.com/) and [One of a Kind Archive](https://oneofakindarchive.net/). **Jazzy:** I love Portobello Market on a Friday morning – you have to go early to get the best bits. They have a mix of all my favourite staples, from old Levi’s and leather jackets to 1920s slip dresses. I also love [Found & Vision](https://foundandvision.com/) and [Lovers Lane](https://www.instagram.com/loverslanelondon/) for vintage finds, and for buying new, I love a bit of [Selfridges](https://selfridges.prf.hn/click/camref:1100loTp9/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.selfridges.com%2FGB%2Fen%2F). **Jazzy:** I love flea markets and finding unique pieces. LA has a lot of great ones too, like the Rose Bowl and the Fairfax one in West Hollywood. I also love the city’s vintage shops like Aralda. **Lola:** Agree. LA has the best vintage. When I was 21, I went to LA and had a complete style shift. I fell in love with vintage clothes and really started to treasure and appreciate them. I completely changed my wardrobe and grew so much more confident. I would like to start my own archive one day. Vintage has also been such an inspiration for [Debute](https://debute.co.uk/). [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/saamqcuprQBPChMq8riWvs9VkLA=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F05%2Fsl-070526-little-black-book-debut-founders-2.jpg) ](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=46111&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.chloe.com%2Fen-gb) Chloé **Jazzy:** I always recommend Debute to friends. We try to make pieces that aren’t trend-based – things you want to reach for time and time again. **Lola:** Also, my friend Viktor is about to launch his brand, [Viktor Gichev](https://www.instagram.com/gicheviktor/). He is so talented and right now he is the person I’m telling everyone about – I am obsessed. He is definitely one to watch. **Jazzy:** If I had to pick one high-street brand, it would be [Zara](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=32887&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zara.com%2Fuk%2F). It nails the basics – a good t-shirt, a crisp shirt, a well-cut pair of trousers – and always looks far more expensive than it is. **Lola:** I’m not really an everyday staples kind of girl – I’m always slightly overdressed. However, [SKIMS](https://skims.com/en-gb) does the comfiest basics. **Jazzy:** My most-worn piece is a black D&G slip my mum gave me for my birthday. I have worn it time and again – whether at Glastonbury with biker boots or dressed up with heels. It’s the perfect little LBD. **Lola:** The best purchase I’ve ever made is a McQueen dress from his last collection. I didn’t really realise the importance of the piece at the time but it is by far the most special piece I own. It has stood the test of time because the older I get, the more I love and appreciate it. I can’t wait to hand it down to my daughter one day.

I live in them in the summer. I don’t really like sandals, so they’re the perfect in-between. **Lola:** My most worn shoes are probably my [Miu Miu](https://miumiu.prf.hn/click/camref:1100l3GU2h/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.miumiu.com%2Fgb%2Fen.html) biker boots. I love that I can wear them with jeans in the winter and mini-dresses in the summer. **Jazzy:** When it comes to accessories, I love [The Veil.](https://theveil.com/) It’s a brand created by two of my best friends, and they make the most beautiful evening bags. **Lola:** I just bought the Gucci [Borsetta Medium Boston bag](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=37933&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gucci.com%2Fuk%2Fen_gb%2Fpr%2Fwomen%2Fhandbags%2Fcrossbody-bags-for-women%2Fborsetto-medium-boston-bag-p-866732FAFV99653). It’s perfect to take to the office every day, as it fits my laptop. It’s so chic. **Jazzy:** I find Jamaica one of the most creatively inspiring places. I lived there till I was seven – it’s such a special place, so full of life, colour and character. **Lola:** [The Mezzatore Hotel](https://www.pellicanohotels.com/en/hotels/mezzatorre-hotel-e-thermal-spa/) in Ischia is my favourite hotel. It is the most magical place. But I get inspired everywhere I go, and it often has to do with the people I am with; they are the ones who inspire me.

If I’m somewhere hot, I love going on hikes and being outside. **Lola:** For me, I always put my face in a bowl of ice and water when I wake up – it makes me feel snatched and ready for the day. **Jazzy:** I have so many favourite food spots around the world but when in London, I love [Canteen](https://www.canteen310.com/london/) on Portobello – it has the most delicious pasta. **Lola:** I am such a foodie. There are so many places I love but one of my favourites is probably the Vitello Tonnato at [Macau](https://www.instagram.com/macaocafesantagertrudis/) in Ibiza. **Jazzy:** The one piece in my wardrobe I couldn’t live without is a pale blue shirt my stepdad gave me. It has his initials on it and is perfectly worn in. I love it and it makes me think of him every time I wear it. **Lola:** For me, it’s the Debute [Tish dress](https://debute.co.uk/products/the-tish-dress-black). It is everything I love about clothes. It’s feminine and sexy. You can pair it with ballet flats and an army jacket or with heels and a fur coat. It is cool yet elegant, and you can really make it your own. *Follow* [@DEBUTE.LONDON](https://www.instagram.com/debute.london/) *&* *visit* [DEBUTE.CO.UK](https://debute.co.uk/) [
