For this week’s cover of O, The Observer Magazine, the Observer fashion team has selected 34 of the most stylish people in Britain (and one very stylish dog).
Spanning generations from 23 to 87, and drawn from both inside and outside the fashion world, the list celebrates the breadth of personal style in Britain today, and the role clothing plays in shaping identity, confidence, and self-expression.
Pick up a copy of the magazine with the paper on Sunday, or read it online now.

KENT ARTISTS PROJECT UPDATE
The longer KAP goes on, the more honoured I feel
that artists are willing to sit for me and be part of the project.
I am very happy to have had the opportunity to meet and to photograph:
VICTORIA ERIOLUWA ONIOSUN (Folkestone)
Victoria paints in oil and her Nigerian roots are reflected in her work
@victoriaoniosun
LAURA MARS (Canterbury)
Paints lots, of everything, in every medium and on every surface.
Her work has a fresh vitality that mirrors this activity.
@xanthippe_mudd

THELMA SPEIRS (Margate)
Thelma lives in London but creates in Margate. Her work is hard to pin down.
Look at https://liminal-gallery.com/collections/thelma-speirs
@thelmaspeirs
PATRICK LEARS (Margate)
Patrick paints on surfaces and makes things, but I think lately he has been doing more painting than making - but I might be wrong - maybe he has been combining both.
@patrick_lears

All are doing great work and are well worth looking into more deeply
…more to follow…
