Fashion for everyone

 

by Andre Kohn

I've been following Caitlin Shearer ever since I stumbled across one of her works on flickr...

What I love the most about her drawings and paintings is that they are of girls who I would very much like to be. Feminine and sweet, without being saccharine, she makes you want to live in the world that she creates.

Check out her blog, flickr, and etsy!

This duo is too flippin' cool. Amazing images... check them out!

I love the low key nature of these advertisements, styled just a little bit left of center ...(I have a print of that beautiful artwork by Courtney Brims in pic 2) see more of her work here... The other links are Leonard St, Friends of Couture, Gingerbread Shop & Volcom.

Have a great day,

though i do occasionally wear jeans, there is a good reason why i shy away from them more often than not: to understand it, just take a subway ride in new york. look down and 99.99% of the sea of legs surrounding you will be decked in denim. it's like a uniform for humanity, and it's sort of scary.

the truth is, every society and subculture, no matter how obscure, has its own sartorial norms. whether you are personally inclined to escape this fact or embrace it, you'll be struck by the stark reality presented by exactitudes {exact + attitudes}, an artistic observation by photographer ari versluis and social profiler ellie uyttenbroek. these two collaborators have catalogued hundreds of comparative street style studies over the last 14 years. the results are entirely incredible:

{ above: le filles du 7ème / Paris, 2008 }

{ above: hipsters / rotterdam, 2008 }

{ above: holly hobbies / limburg, 2009 }

really makes you think a bit about your favorite trends, no? ultimately, this trestise exemplifies the phrase: a picture is worth a thousand words. and yet, i'm dying to hear what you all think about it!
