It's a fantasy that polo is becoming the common man's sport

It's a fantasy that polo is becoming the common man's sport. Equally slim are the chances of the champagne-quaffing polo set affecting street fashion. Maybe we're still having flashbacks of Score!, the fabulous Jilly Cooper's chafing thigh summer blockie. Well, it's hardly a fashion happening on a par with, "Who shot Gianni Versace?" But polo did set Style Police's trend antenna spinning. This week the Daily Mail breathlessly reported that Prince "Cool Wills" William wore wraparound shades to the Cartier Polo. I'm at art college now and I've been dressing like this for a couple of years, I'm influenced by the trashy elements of the Eighties. I also listen to that sort of music: Debbie Harry, The Bangles, that kind of thing Katy England spotted me in a club and asked me to model It sounded like a good idea I like having my picture taken.

The reason I'm sitting down and everyone else shot themselves standing up was purely practical: my feet were hurting.. My skirt is from Domsey's Warehouse in Brooklyn, the graffiti T-shirt I'm wearing was made by a friend, the charm bracelet is by Chanel, stiletto boots from a charity shop and the bag was from a flea market. Expensive? Yes, but if you like it you have to buy it, although my parents buy it for me.Phillipa Horan, 18 I found these zebra-print leggings in the street in Ladbroke Grove There was a whole pile of them and I picked out these. I want to be a model and an interior designer - I want to have something more secure to fall back on Taking pictures is boring As the model at least you get to move around In my view the photographer just takes pictures My favourite designer is Versace. I was spotted in my youth club and I definitely wanted to do this photo shoot I like having my photograph taken and I liked this picture.

I'd describe my style as unique, I don't follow anyone, I make my own statement which is "be as mad as you want to be, or as casual". So there was no particular intention behind what I did, I just wanted to get it done because I was thirsty and wanted a drink. I'm not sure I like it, 'cos I was sucking in my cheeks.Marcel Findlay, 14The shirt's by Barron, hat's by Nike, my trousers (although you can't see them) are in blue silk, by Versace My bracelet's from H Samuel. But I'm not sure that I want to go into modelling - I don't think I've got what it takes. But I do like taking photographs - that interests me far more.
