Fred, 23: “I am preparing to compete for the World Waterflume speed record in California. I’m probably wearing orange Speedos and a Hawaiian shirt.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Leigh - topman sunglasses

Leigh, 22: “If the Goblin King - David Bowie’s character in Labyrinth - had a son, I’d be him. The goblin prince. Kinda freaky – in a good way!”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rob - Topman sunglasses

Rob, 23: “I feel like Rocket Man. Jetted back to 1972, driving a classic car with a wood dash round Edinburgh. Super flash, super cool.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

JP - Topman sunglasses

JP, 24: “I am paranoid.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paul  - topman sunglasses

Paul, 16: “Pretty groovy – late ‘60s, early ‘70s. Hunter S. Thompson. Fear and Loathing.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Richard - Topman sunglasses

Richard. 18: “I’d be on the Big Bang theory – kind of geeky. I’d be wearing ankle swingers and doing a science experiment. I can imagine Hot Chip wearing these.”

 

 

 

 

 

  

Vyelle - Topman sunglasses

Vyelle, 25: “I feel like Alex in the Clockwork Orange. The bit when they hold his eyes open. Trippy!”
