Photos by Isla Bell for The Bold Italic

We are obsessed with this ‘literal street style’ shoot by Isla Bell Murray and Jessica Saia. Instead of snapping a bunch of skeletal swedes outside Somerset House, they’ve dressed up urban fixtures to look like aloof, off-duty models.

Traffic cones, parking meters and fag ends all get the street style treatment. And sure, you can’t polish a turd. But you can make it look chic.

There’s also some great quotes, with a discarded cigarette proclaiming: ‘The silhouette of this dress does wonders for my butt.’

Find the full shoot here. We’re off to get that fire-hydrant look…
