CityLiving finds out what the stylish people of Birmingham will be wearing this summer...

 

Alison Werrett
Bullring Marketing Communication Manager

Influences
I take a lot of influence from fashion magazines. I then like to mix designer items with High Street favourites such as H&M and Topshop.

Items from Office, Miss Sixty and Mango

Style file 1
Miss Sixty has a great collection and these white linen trousers are a must for the summer, £80.

Style file 2
Mango is a favourite store of mine which offers great value for money. For £12 this bag is a great buy.

Style file 3
Office has a fantastic range of fashionable footwear. These sandals are perfect for the weekend at £20.

Plans for the summer?
Bullring is having live music from 5pm-8pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays during June and July, so I will be spending most of my summer at work! However, I am also taking a holiday in Puerto Banus with friends.

Bruce Langham
Aston Villa Chief Executive

Influences
I wouldn't say I had a specific style of my own, I know what I like but I wouldn't say I was loyal to any particular brand or person. I do tend to stick with Ralph Lauren for my suits and shirts as I like to make a good impression at work, just like everyone else.

Style file 1
Selfridges stock such a wide range of classic and contemporary brands it's ideal to have so much choice under one roof. Wallet, £109.

Style file 2
I'm thinking of updating some of my living space so I think I'll be paying New Heights a visit. Their furniture is both functional and practical without being too fussy. Flip top footstool in the highest quality leather, £550.

Style file 3
Lastly I'd probably buy myself a comedy present from the Gadget Shop; an 'executive toy' for my desk in the highly unlikely event that I find myself with time to play with it! £12.

Plans for the summer?
I'll be trying to get out on the golf course, as well as getting to know the city and its surrounds.

Iton Moysten
Bambu Promoter (Hed Kandi)

Influences
I am influenced by popular media, such as MTV. It's always interesting to see what's hot and what's not in the pubs and clubs, but it's my job to stay one step ahead.

Style file 1
Topman is a favourite because of the massive selection of printed T-shirts from £15.

Style file 2
All Saints is always a good bet. The staff are really friendly and the style is consistent, up to date and fresh for every season. Printed jacket, £195.

Style file 3
USC has a huge variety of brands like Von Dutch so I can always be confident of finding something for a Friday night. Von Dutch cap, £50 upwards.

Plans for the summer?
I will have to work a lot this summer, and that means putting the leg work in around Birmingham - but I am planning to go to the V Festival and Ibiza later in the year.

Zoe Chamberlain
Sunday Mercury Lifestyle Editor

Influences
Audrey Hepburn, especially as the fifties style is so current at the moment. She had a look that was timeless and classic - a style which is great to emulate and adapt for yourself.

Items from Oasis, Office & Vom Fass

Style file 1
I like Oasis - it has a lovely boudoir feel, and is a fun place for girlie-girls to hang out. Their more recent ranges have had something of a face-lift, I particularly like their spring-fresh lemon tops and skirts. Top, £35.

Style file 2
I also like Office shoes, this shop is ideal for funky flats that you can wear both day and night. White shoes, £55.

Style file 3
I enjoy mooching around Vom Fass at Selfridges. Originally from Notting Hill, this outlet sells fabulous oils and vinegars - not to mention the odd cocktail! Straight from the cask, from as little as £2.50.

Plans for the summer?
Spending two weeks shopping and sunning myself in the French Riviera with my husband and two friends.

Dan Kelly
Galaxy 102.2 DJ

Influences
My style is very casual during the day, I used to live abroad in a very hot country so I've got loads of summer clothes which is great at the moment but not so good when its raining! I'll wear whatever I feel comfortable in.

Style file 1
FCUK have a great selection of casual wear and this top is a really good buy at £60.

Style file 2
Diesel is one of my favourite brands, they have the best distressed jeans. Selfridges, £120.

Style file 3
Dixons XL. Being a DJ for Galaxy my digital radio is a must-have, £129.

Plans for the summer?
I'm hopefully off to Montreal, Canada in the summer for some gigs and a holiday. It's a very cosmopolitan city and is a great place to visit. I remember shopping there last summer and it was amazing. Over there record shops have their own fashion section - a great way to shop!

Julian Kettleborough
Malmaison Sales Manager

Influences
I'm not really influenced by anyone, I think it's important to have your own style. However I'm not big on getting suited and booted, out of work jeans and T-shirt are cool with me!

Items from Sunglass Hut, Reiss, Selfridges

Style file 1
This pair of Police shades from Sunglass Hut are great - you can't beat them for choice, £104.

Style file 2
Cool shirts from Reiss, for lazy evenings in a bar, £79.

Style file 3
An iPod from Selfridges, £296.

Plans for the summer?
I'm off to Mainland Greece for a sailing holiday with friends.

Jo Malin
ITV News Presenter

Influences
I am influenced basically by what's in fashion each season. Obviously not all styles, materials and colours are right for my colouring or for television, so I don't have a free choice. At the moment I'm a big fan of Coast in Debenhams.

Style file 1
My favourite items this year is my pink handbag. Jasper Conran at Debenhams, £75.

Style file 2
Leather jacket from Massimo Dutti, £195.

Style file 3
Moulton Brown body products, £28 (£14 each).

Plans for the summer?
I'll be having a cool glass of wine and lunch at Selfridges!
