Street Fashion is not about having lots of shopping money or keeping up to date with celebrity fashion. It's about originality and the ability to apply style and design to what you wear. No matter where you got it. Street-Fashion.net aims to support those who love street fashion, those who wear street fashion and those who make street fashion! Help us support your city by sending us links to shops and blogs you like!

I thought these photos were of particular awesomeness. Each one uses several photography techniques to accentuate the greatness of the model and the fashion. Gino is a member of the flickr group from Mexico and is becoming a popular one at that.

One of the biggest problems with any great style is if it becomes too popular it becomes a trend. This isn’t necessarily horrible, but in most cases, and in most places, trends can ruin the feeling of originality people have when they create their own style. Honestly, there’s probably not many original things people can come up with anymore which is why printed t-shirts featuring original art manage to maintain popularity. Fashion can imitate art but not all art is wearable like it is if its on a t-shirt. There are designers that really push the bar and make things completely unwearable, but we don’t walk about them here.
T-Shirts are a neverending source for wearable art
T-shirts and unwearable art fashion aren’t ideal modes of expression for everyone, at least not the only mode. Revitalized fashion is my favorite kind of original idea but sometimes this also becomes a mass marketed trend soon after some awesome person brings it back to life. For example a designer brought back stirrup pants a couple seasons ago and before she released the next line, American Apparel had them too. No ones saying they stole the idea from her of course but it’s funny how fashion works like that. Trends sneak up on you, maybe you saw something out of the corner of your eye or on a re-aired episode of 21 Jump Street, but so did someone else. One trick to designing things that cannot be reproduced quite like yours, is to make them damn good and somehow identifiable as yours. Marketing your style a certain way is key as well. Photos of your fashion pinned up against a white wall with no model, no interesting lighting, no unique location etc, can make your stuff look about as interesting as bread. The fight for originality is the same for music and photography as well. It seems like almost everyone’s band sounds like someone else and photos really need to be surprising to be new to the public eye. This is why personal style is the only way to save the future of music, fashion and art.
