Capturing
Street Style isn’t really all that new of an idea. It’s true, we were doing it
way back when – this pix from 1965 taken on the streets of Los Angeles is definite
proof. (I wish the quality was better -- my facial expression is a bit strange.) Of course, it definitely
wasn’t a candid shot; but then today I wonder what percentage of “street style”
shots are really candid. With the exception of the style captured by the
magical Bill Cunningham, I have a stinking suspicion that most street style
captures are styled to the max. Maybe some of you fashion bloggers can bring me
into this century and tell me I am wrong. By now you know that I lived for many
years in New York City – one of the things I miss about living there is the
constant exposure to a diverse world of style.
