Sartorialist

Was just introduced to this site by a friend. Great blog. I love the concept. I've had the same trouble reconciling the shit you see on the runways and real life. This blog is perfect. Its chill, relaxed, REAL, and hip. I think it also represents fashion out of personal style and sometimes necessity. Necessity meaning the styles you create cause you only have so much flow. You get the piece thats important, and work out the rest. I mean, peoples reaction to the economy recreates fashion. You take the designer's vision, use your interpretation of it, and then modify it based on your flow. Its almost like telephone, the end product may not be like anythign what was originally intended. But thats the best part.

I'd love to see another one out there for a different fashion genre because this one clearly caters to a specific genre. Do people not see the urban street fashions of the middle to lower class? Its the best shit out there. IT truly represents something meaningful. Its the ultimate form of diverse creativity. Its the fashionistas that dont even know it yet. The pimp what you got. Shake what ya mama gave ya. Literally. "Heres a twenty, go buy your school clothes" And shit nigga do these kids work that shit out. Hell it aint even about what you buy sometimes, its how you wear it. Take it to the next level. I see this shit alot in 3rd world countries like India. Literally like a whole nother world. But in that world, you better believe even the slumdogs work them fake nike shoes, and zazzy tees. Its all about mod these days. Mod your car, mod your bike, mod your ipod, and fo sho its about modin your clothes as well. I love it. Its so creative. Fresh. Fuck the runway.
Walk down the muthafuckin street!

(note: unfortunately i have only seen this in big cities)
