Street Fashion and Personal Fashion!
Street Fashion has some of the most unique styling concepts ever seen! Street Fashion or as I like to call it, “Free Fashion”, is something I truly admire. It’s unique to the person wearing it and that’s what I love the most. It’s like a work of art in a museum; it’s there to look at, not replicate. Street Fashion should be admired not copied. There’s a fine line between being “inspired” and being a downright copycat. It’s the way you look at things really. Some think it’s flattering, while others think it’s unoriginal. You rarely find copy cats in street style. That’s because of 3 things; the person, product, and the exposure.
The person directly contributes to the essence of fashion. Let’s be real, some street fashion is only suitable for the person wearing it. There background, history, lifestyle, or just anything can be attributed to someone’s personal style. One might even call it “personality style”. Usually street style fashion is worn by creative individuals or eclectic people. All I’m saying is being true to your personality is a key part of looking unique. True style starts from the inside then out, remember that!
The clothing should really stand out. Now, one thing I notice frequently is the unique items worn in street fashion. The clothes are usually one of a kind or high quality designer wear. Truly unique fashion starts in a thrift store, or Neiman Marcus. I chose Neiman’s because that’s the common spot for luxury wear, but Saks Fifth Avenues or any other high end retailer should do. Boutiques are great too; you’ll definitely find one of kind goodies. I’ve seen street fashion in which they combine both. If your entire wardrobe comes from the mall ya might not be able to create a unique non replicated look. I’m not saying street style can’t be purchased in the mall, but I’m just saying mass produced items tend to get replicated looks. Honestly, true street fashion is best when it’s as unique as possible.
And finally, the exposure! How else can the world see the fabulous world of street fashion without photographers hitting the pavement hard during events like Fashion Weeks, Trade Shows, etc? Of course street fashion is everywhere all year round, but the fashion events are the best times to see bloggers flock together from far and wide. They’re a photographers dream come true. They snap photographs of them right before they attend ceremonies, shows, and even photo shoots.
Street fashion is always exciting and ever changing. You just never know what you’ll see, at the park, downtown, on the streets, or where ever. They’re like Faberge eggs or Pokémon gotta collect them all.
