I agree wholeheartedly with what you're saying about the blurring of the boundaries between fashion shoots and street style blogs, and could not agree more about the rampant 'it' obsession across street style blogs. Indeed, in away that is at odds with what 'street style' is supposed to represent... consider what street style would have meant back in the 80s/90s..something much grittier and far less shiny/polished..<br /><br />That editorial is yum though. I was in London over the weekend and saw that copy of Tank magazine at the Tate and was so close to buying (Tank is definitely not availabe in Cork where I live!). Kicking myself now!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326814828874190331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-19905005432463961542011-10-11T09:17:52.422+01:002011-10-11T09:17:52.422+01:00Really great post, and I totally agree with you ab...Really great post, and I totally agree with you about the street style blogs, and I also rather like Vauthier's fashion editorials, though he has some awesome personal pics. Kim looks truly adorable in these pics, and the Lara Stone's editorial with her parents that you posted a few days ago was a favorite of mine too.<br /><br />kisses!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-9786685068803343882011-10-10T21:48:53.880+01:002011-10-10T21:48:53.880+01:00Interesting post, I've seen a lot of posts and...Interesting post, I've seen a lot of posts and articles popping up about the authenticity of street style.<br /><br />http://nymag.com/daily/fashion/2011/09/street_style_rules.html<br /><br />http://fashionista.com/2011/09/how-im-making-it-street-style-photographer-mr-newton/2/<br /><br />Although I still find them inspiring, it is frustrating that they pander to the typical things seen in magazines (the latest designer heels, skinny 6 feet models) though this is ultimately what can make them money.

I'd never look at them for inspiration based on "real people" - Scott and Yvan know who everybody is, sometimes pre-arrange their shoots, and half the girls they use are professional models! I really don't think they make this clear on their blogs either.Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08228565141403067916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-41182610636711747542011-10-10T13:49:02.432+01:002011-10-10T13:49:02.432+01:00i totally agree, the term "street style"...i totally agree, the term "street style" is not monolithic and ubiquitous to describe all these new venues for fashion. they are so varied in their production and their ultimate agenda, or goal. <br /><br />it can be frustrating, watching the evolution. <br /><br />on another note, it is editorials like these that have convinced me that doing away with eye brow grooming is totally the way to go.....blue roseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05882333911932324281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-26433085370718724562011-10-10T10:12:37.392+01:002011-10-10T10:12:37.392+01:00as a new blogger wanting to photograph what I thin...as a new blogger wanting to photograph what I think are genuine 'real' stylish people, rather than set up fashion shoots I found your article highly interesting and I will take some of your points on board.

Real style is on the streets where it evolves from creativity rather than buying it off the shelf. Yes I love looking at fashion shows and editorials because I love clothes, but style comes fromt he streets.Janehttp://plainjane-plainjanestyle.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-18990770319449784442011-10-10T09:28:51.742+01:002011-10-10T09:28:51.742+01:00Interesting post, thanks.

It's mostly about Punks and Mods, but his main theory has become universally applicable, that any subculture, which is threatening to the mainstream is assimilated by the mainstream thus neutralising it and removing the threat. This seems to fit the trend you describe in street style being picked up by established designers, photographers and editors and assimilated into their mainstream practice, which removes any threat it may have posed to their hegemony... <br />It's interesting to think about anyway. <br />Great blogJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09909250881477062083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-39864526607497137422011-10-10T08:25:00.553+01:002011-10-10T08:25:00.553+01:00"I read street style blogs because I want to ..."I read street style blogs because I want to be inspired by the clothes people wear without it going hand in hand with the notion of 'needing more stuff'."<br />Yes yes yes! This post is really good. I love how you write and how you reason out your arguments. And here, I completely agree! I feel the same about blogging. So many feel like adverts and almost competitive in their attempts to show yet more things that they have bought, rather than about the inspiration and creativity I want to take from them. Commercialisation is just so all-pervasive.<br />xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851255912197216409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33710095.post-440352216806283892011-10-10T06:20:59.119+01:002011-10-10T06:20:59.119+01:00Hmmmm.
