This British Vogue Assistant Just Emerged as a Street Style Star

At London Fashion Week, more than one person asked me, "Who's that girl who is always next to Edward Enninful [of British Vogue]? She has the best outfits this week." The answer is his executive assistant, Deborah Ababio. Here at Who What Wear UK, we're always looking for the next big street style star, and we're certain Ababio is about to be a regular feature in street style galleries. Instead of wearing blend-into-the-background all-black outfits other assistants often lean on, Deborah Ababiowears a lot of colour and statement accessories (she's usually wearing either a beret or a pair of quirky sunglasses). And yes, she has an Instagram. Keep scrolling for the three outfits that show why her style is worth following.

Style Notes: Deborah loves wearing colour, and we love how she matches her orange-and-pink skirt with a pair of tangerine sunglasses.

Style Notes: As an assistant during fashion week, Deborah is probably on her feet a lot. We love how she paired this beautiful dress with lace stripes and a pretty collar with trainers and socks.

Style Notes: This is the term "power dressing" in a picture, and we love how her Brogger two-piece makes suiting much more fun thanks to colours and ruffles on the lapel.
