The Return of Streetwear

They say that fashion has a 20 year cycle: we repeat the same trends, only 20 years later. This has certainly rung true for streetwear clothing with brands like Stussy making a return on the highstreet in Topman, since their initial birth in 1980, and Adidas rereleasing the Torsion Integral S with two new colour ways.

Has Street Style Had it's Day?

Is street style as inspiration losing it's touch? The Sunday Times pointed out that many extroverts go out of their way to be photographed at Fashion Week by going dressed outrageously, playing on the shock factor in order to get the attention of street style photographers. Because of this farce, is it possible that street style is now becoming redundant as a valid form of inspiration, to see what's bubbling up? Are these individuals contaminating "real" street style?

Has British Style Affected the Fashion Retail Rich List?

British style is renowned for it's eccentricity, it's thrifty and changeable. Gone are the days of the Saville Row suits for most men who prefer to rummage through vintage stores, we long for a quick fashion fix for the most part. Whereas American style relies on items that last a lifetime, us Brits prefer a disposable and affordable style.

Brick Lane Style

I visited Brick Lane today and took the opportunity to take some photographs of the street style there. The style is really eclectic, ranging from vintage finds to urban brands. There was so many other street photographers there - I was photographed myself by one Korean style blog and even a woman from Vogue Korea! It really shows how inspiration can be gained from the people of Brick Lane. My personal favourite looks are all-black as they look really interesting with the mixture of textures and always chic and fashionable. I think come the warmer whether we will see even more exciting stuff!
