Street Fashion

I've been meaning to post some sites that a friend pointed me to, particularly this Japananese Street Fashion site. Click on the different neighborhoods and you'll see six photos posted each Sunday of the best outfits found from people walking around that week. You can go back to previous weeks, too. Clearly there are new looks developing.

Loads of other sites around the world with similar takes on street fashion exist: Helsinki, Tallinn, Kiev, Istanbul, Jakarta. Once you tap into these, they start to link to others -- Mexico, US, Europe, on and on...

One of the things I was noticing is that people are using old articles of clothes and putting them together in new ways. And then I happened to google an old artist and musician friend in Seattle, Boma Cho, and I found a recent article from the Seattle paper featuring him. He's now buying items of clothing from thrift stores, silk-screening his own images on them and selling them in a stand on the street. Here's that article.

Have fun browsing.
