Sallu: Mitchell Lane, Glasgow

This marks the first time I've photographed a child's style. There's a difference between asking an adult for a photo, and approaching a parent to ask if I can shoot their kid. Needlesstosay, I spotted Sallu's attitude & charisma in Glasgow while watching at a street performer. When I went to take a photograph, he lit up without a flinch. If only we retained this innocent confidence into adulthood.

Style on the Streets of Paris, AW 2011

Living in Paris for the last 4 months, I've seen a different side to the city I fell in love with after many visits for fashion week. There's a subtlety to the clothing of it's natives. Watch the video below to see the showcase of my favourite Parisiens from autumn and winter of 2011.

Varda: Rue Linné, Paris

Photographing street style for nearly 3 years my eye is nearly always drawn to the exterior, but increasingly I'm becoming drawn to style in other areas. In the Autumn of 2011 I began a new project 'Superior Interior', looking into style beyond the street.

This month, I look at Varda Ducovny, an author and ex-New Yorker who lives in Paris. What I love about Varda is her style goes so much further than clothes, possessions and the interior design of her home - with her, style is in the story. Recounting times spent singing in downtown New York, discussing politics or her travels across the world, I discovered that there's always a twist to the tale.

See the full interview and photographs on Another Garçon here, or watch the 'Style in the Story' video below.

Alex: Rue Saint Paul, Paris

While stocking up on baking products in Paris' best American grocery store Thanksgiving, I saw Alex through the window. The sharp haircut alone was enough to make me ask the Londoner for a photograph.

Get On Your Bike & Go - Columbia Road, E2

From a sartorial perspective, one of the best things about London is the vivaciousness of its inhabitants. In a city where no-one is from London yet we are all 'Londoners', the continuous contrast in style as you walk, bike and bus from zone to zone, area to area, street to street.

I spotted this girl on my favourite street (see previous posts from May, June, July and September) close to my flat in Hackney. I love the ''biker girl" with the gold chain against her soft and innocent face.

Happy Holidays 2011

Wherever I travel, I love to pick up vintage photographs in the local thrift stores. Whether it's a staged Victorian portrait or a family snapshot you can tell a lot about society, culture and style in those pictures. As Les Garçons de Glasgow has it's third Christmas, I've gone through all the vintage photos collected from across the world. Looking beyond the clothing and interesting locations, the one remaining quality is the relationships that are etched in paper. Family, friends and everything in between.

Whether you're in Glasgow or Geneva, Paris or Prague, London or Lisbon, we hope you're spending the holidays with the people you love.

Jeremy: Rue Oberkampf, Paris

I spotted Jeremy whilst sitting in a cafe on Rue Oberkampf. There are few times where I feel the need to cut the conversation, get up and run to get a photograph but Jeremy was one of those. First I saw the incredible beard beside a shaved head, next the round shouldered shearing jacket over denim, but it was the leopard slippers that sealed the deal. An illustrator, he was incredibly gracious and patiently waited as I snapped him from all angles. Check out his work at JeremySchneider.fr

Joys: Rue de Dunkerque, Paris

One of the things that makes street style photography so special for me is the element of surprise. After literally a day of walking around Paris and getting very little reward, I just happened to be in Montmartre walking to Metro Anver and a courtyard door opened. Out onto the busy street walked Joys who, despite struggling with a pram looked effortlessly chic in her trench and felt hat. Add an orange and we've got street style magic.
