I'm always drawn there, knowing the unexpected is always around the corner.<div><br />
</div><div>Today I popped in to rummage through some of the op-shops K Road has to offer. The vintage fabric of Nicole's dress caught my eye. This photo has a very 70's glow, that required no mood lighting on my behalf! The warm tones of the backdrop and the retro print go impeccably well with her long straight centre parted hair. Beautiful dress on a beautiful girl.</div><div><br />

I don't want you to confuse my lack of posts with a lack of good street fashion in New Zealand. Far from it. The truth is I've been busy relocating to Auckland, finding a home and getting a job.<br />
<br />
<div>Now, enough about me, and more about what's happening in New Zealand. While trends in NZ street fashion are not too dissimilar to those of Europe and Asia there is a subtle difference. Kiwis seem to have an obsession with being unique, one of a kind individuals and often use clothes to prove it.</div><div><br />
</div><div>One prime example is this design student from Auckland University who I spotted on K Road.<br />

Trousers are his own unique design and while they're 'out there' in terms of being a bold statement, they incorporate a high level of design and are quite simply beautiful.

It's almost like a secret club exists where every indy kid received a memo to trade sunglasses for clear lens glasses. This is a great look for those who really actually need to wear prescription lenses but I'm sure there's many a frame out there filled with mere plastic.<br />

I was only one of many bloggers out and about that day. The streets were actually lined with fashion bloggers - their cameras and release forms in hand, scouting the streets for photo ops. While I was style spotting in London, I'd come across the odd blogger but it really was a rarity... however, here in Harajuku there were almost more bloggers than passer-bys. Crazy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-UtwU95yvA488CV39GHna0-0kWrJ9Vl8UQ-AF_OutruTRm7GUOeqYI5QjRuZeBLe4MeT4BXMQlzAmkwXHAZv7JzNyOcRgcc4oevL2SQSdGqKgLQ7HCZbcGiQEm1UVo4KRIKN3lU2bp4/s1600/P1121209.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY-UtwU95yvA488CV39GHna0-0kWrJ9Vl8UQ-AF_OutruTRm7GUOeqYI5QjRuZeBLe4MeT4BXMQlzAmkwXHAZv7JzNyOcRgcc4oevL2SQSdGqKgLQ7HCZbcGiQEm1UVo4KRIKN3lU2bp4/s640/P1121209.JPG" width="421" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Look beyond the legs, if you can, and you will see an outfit that is actually really really cool. This girl has nailed a look that will appeal to girls and guys alike. The seventies inspired fur trim, the horn rimmed glasses that take you back to the sixties when television's greatest star was a puppet from the Thunder Birds and the suede shoes coupled with socks, all display an edge that cares more about trend than sex appeal.<br />
<br />
Socks seem to be an essential for wearing boots in Tokyo this winter - it goes really well with the nerdy glasses. Not always the most flattering look if you have short legs but there's a range of ways to rock socks, from over the knee socks layered over top of sheer stockings to shin high socks with ankle boots - it's definitely a quick cheap way to update your wardrobe.<br />

This is a great little video clip featuring one of London's influential fashion stylists. It was shot on a Canon 550D - amazing the level of quality you can get on a DSLR these days. Props to Canon for making HD video so accessible. Great ambience and mood can be created when combining video content with great music. I like.<br />
<br />
Vonnie Williams is a London based Personal Stylist that rocks up to every event, no matter how big or small with the most amazing outfits. I'm always inspired by here unassuming yet beautifully bold sense of fashion. Vonnie is definitely not a victim of trends and knows how to combine fashion pieces together, both vintage and contemporary, to create a unique outfit that works.<br />

These pop celebrities aren't singing about nothing - it really truly is an inspirational place - quirky, vibrant and bold. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Amidst the crazy outfits you find genuine design and style that does influence Japanese fashion houses like Comme des Garcons, Kenzo and Issey Miyake. One up and coming Japanese designer that I absolutely adore right now is Junya Watanabe. Whether fashion comes from the bottom up or the top down is impossible to say - but either way I see a resemblance between the knitted threads and patterned woollen knits that are big in Junya Watanabe's latest designs and what we're currently seeing in the streets of Harajuku. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I can't quite put my finger on the key influencer but it has a taste of indigenous South America, native American Indian dress and my grandma's shawl. While the boots and satchel are totally present in London fashion, the rest of the outfit is unlike anything I've seen before. If you visit Harajuku you will find Tokyo fashion, like Japanese culture in general, draws on the past while remaining utterly faithful to the future by pushing the limits.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHThKB7mCrNXbUKCiYxEzw93dpp5IznIWN2FPGRjwdERpyEksjVwY6N3_Qk8m9CJ1YAk5eUPVB4cPYQrD7c491vhqWP0X1d6vmcKNSijWuo7iqDbc6YHKu1B-5ePnvbgeijESk8IEsKY/s1600/Full+Length+Harajuku.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCHThKB7mCrNXbUKCiYxEzw93dpp5IznIWN2FPGRjwdERpyEksjVwY6N3_Qk8m9CJ1YAk5eUPVB4cPYQrD7c491vhqWP0X1d6vmcKNSijWuo7iqDbc6YHKu1B-5ePnvbgeijESk8IEsKY/s640/Full+Length+Harajuku.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Woollen knits with eclectic patterns are predominant right now in both Tokyo street fashion and Junya Matanabe's collection:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/JW1W.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/JW1W.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span id="goog_620610893"></span><span id="goog_620610894"></span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/JW2W.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://www.thesartorialist.com/photos/JW2W.jpg" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br class="webkit-block-placeholder" /></div><div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=100752536147612744&postID=282639309386007021"></a> <a class="addthis_button_tweet" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=100752536147612744&postID=282639309386007021"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=100752536147612744&postID=282639309386007021"></a> </div><script type="text/javascript">

Both looks are both fairly easy to spot, and both have the danger of being easily misinterpreted.<br />
<br />
Apathy can be a hard one to achieve. Go too far and you run the risk of looking like you don’t know rather than don't care. Trademark features this season have been oversized fisherman sweaters and cardigans, men’s anoraks, hair is long and unkempt, fringes and colours are half-grown out, and makeup is fairly non-existent (except for the occasional slash of lipstick). This look can be amazing on the right person – usually someone who looks pretty or interesting enough to not need any assistance, and being the size of a 12-year old is always a plus! Case in point: a friend of mine who pulls this look off exceptionally well arrived at my house the other day swimming in a giant men’s anorak, little twig legs in skinny jeans poking out the bottom, and a beanie pulled over mousey hair. If I wore this I would look like a hobo, on her – amazing.</div><div style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black; text-align: left;">The ‘ironic’ look can also cause some confusion. It is very reliant on context to be recognized. Often I am caught out with the ‘I don’t know if that’s really ugly or really cool?!’ conundrum, and its not till you take the environment into consideration (eg. Hip-indy bandroom vs fast asleep on park bench) that it becomes apparent whether a mohair-koala cardigan over leopard print tights is an ‘ironic nod to the 90s’, or really someone who just hasn’t moved on. The other day a friend of mine was telling me about how hard she finds it to relate to her colleagues, and gave me an example of a woman she works with who ‘... wears scrunchies in her hair! I mean, when I do it its ironic... but when she does it, its just tacky!’. It seems ridiculous, but what is fashion if not fickle?</div><div style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; color: black; text-align: left;"><br />

This handsome English lad has nailed the look of apathy, and as Hazel said, it takes the right kind of person (in other words only the naturally good looking) to pull if off. From the torn hem line on his denim shirt to the scuffed lace-up boots and what appears to be an old fisherman's woollen sweatshirt, he looks like he just don't give a damn. But his well nicely coiffured hair would indicate otherwise. I took this shot in London but by the sounds of Hazel's report, this could've easily been captured in the streets of Melbourne (apart from the elegant backdrop that is none other than the beautiful Somerset House).</span></span><br />

To top it off its a vintage coat from <a href="http://www.traid.org.uk/">Traid </a>which means it's both supporting the environment and helping combat poverty - a double whammy of a good deed!

Military coats are weaving their way into winter fashion for both men and women this season.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Below is a guy who works in the same office block as I do, except he works for Burberry while I sell learning solutions. A little bit jealous. So when I asked him what he was wearing I expected to hear him say Burberry this, Burberry that. Surprisingly enough, his coat isn't from the latest Burberry range (although if you check out their <a href="http://uk.burberry.com/fcp/categorylist/dept/men_prorsum_new_arrivals">lookbook</a> you can see the influence). Turns out the coat is from Primarni (aka Primark) and the leather military-esque boots are from Topman. I love it. Again, this is proof that you don't need to be rich to rock a great outfit. In so far as money can't buy you style, great style can be expressed with very little money. Pulling together a notable outfit on a shoe-string budget is a fine art and one that deserves praise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Don't be modest in the size of your scarves this winter because bigger really is better on so many levels - not only is it practical and super cosy but it's also a great look to run with. I love big chunky knits like this one... get yourself some big fat knitting needles and try knitting one yourself - stitch it together at the ends and you've got yourself one this season's fads - the '<a href="http://maccabags.typepad.com/weblog/2009/01/knit-a-snood.html">snood</a>' (apparently a cross between a scarf and a hood). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsk_ZIdFth9SBM_Ip6tMJsd7YL4JRN4irYn2sJKykRadt9XwqkYWK7cdkZCgHwOUzd1aZhFdSfSoEt1Xp328A44BNW5WC-a_NEfFmHrnc6B2BUTukNiOOjWKuVOz5tkhyphenhyphen0vWWRZWlQYCI/s1600/Stockholm+Lisa+Upper+Shot.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="533" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsk_ZIdFth9SBM_Ip6tMJsd7YL4JRN4irYn2sJKykRadt9XwqkYWK7cdkZCgHwOUzd1aZhFdSfSoEt1Xp328A44BNW5WC-a_NEfFmHrnc6B2BUTukNiOOjWKuVOz5tkhyphenhyphen0vWWRZWlQYCI/s400/Stockholm+Lisa+Upper+Shot.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Who can resist yummy colours like caramel, toffee, burnt orange and tan. Is it just me or do these colours get heralded as making a 'big come back' every autumn when really they come back in as surely as summer turns to fall? Even though it's nothing new I seem to get caught by surprise every autumn. This oversized hooded anorak is fabulous and made me fall in love with the rich autumn colours all over again. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Dr Martin's epitomised shoe street fashion in the 90's. In fact you really only needed to own one pair of shoes because Docs were fit for any occasion and worn with everything and anything - you could dress em up with floral dresses or rock em with jeans. Here Lisa is wearing look alike Dr Martin's to bring the best of the 90's and mix it with the best of now. Please leave the rest of the 90's where it belongs! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

The calibre is such that window displays provide endless amounts of inspiration and entertainment. Not to mention the Christmas displays that we're going to start seeing everywhere (yes - early November and the decorations are on there way up!)<br />

I love this window display where English floral country cottage meets a cycling skeleton:</div><div><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_338869882"><br />

I caught one of Liberty's Sales Consultants, Stefan, during his smoko... very slick outfit. Mustard chino's and a navy blazer are tied together with camel coloured buttons and beautiful brogues to create a sharp looking outfit.<br />

Now, this store is what I imagine was at the heart of Carnaby when Carnaby Street was in its prime - full of independent designer boutiques that stocked one of a kind garments. Sadly it seems to have sold out to (or more aptly been bought out by) boring chain stores. But if you depart from the beaten track you will be pleasantly surprised with what you find...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

I want to drag this series out... because such is my attachment to Stockholm that I don't want this love affair to end. To sum it up - Stockholm with her omnipresent sea-side, sophisticated fashion, creative design and warm ambiance makes up for the chill in the air. It's a perfect destination for a weekend city break. If I haven't convinced you yet...<br />

Definitely small in comparison to a typical London market but what it lacked in size it made up for in quality.<br />

Edwin is the epitome of a scandinavian man - bright blue eyes, hair so blonde he's bordering on albino and very well attired. Great outfit; his crushed velvet scarf comes from Sicily and his coat comes from Minimarket. Totally check out their <a href="http://www.minimarket.se/">website</a> it's another scandinavian gem of inspirational design. If you fall in love... as you very well may... you'll be relieved to know that Minimarket can be found at Urban Outfitters or even purchased online at <a href="http://www.asos.co.uk/">www.asos.co.uk</a>.<br />

Random fact about Minimarket (which makes me love them even more) is that the store's name came about when the owner and her friend were joking about starting a work place only for short people... at 159cm maybe I could get a job there (if I fail to cast for the Hobbit that is)?</div></div></div>Marianne Falconerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11022045477052971021noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-100752536147612744.post-34847841765295040832010-10-20T21:33:00.008+01:002010-10-20T22:11:44.715+01:00Anna in the Old Town of Stockholm<div>I absolutely love this Svenskt Tenn hand bag - it goes so well with the autumnal colours of Anna's outfit and the gorgeous Old Town buildings in the background.

I discovered that there was a lot more to Sweden than long legs, blonde hair and blue eyes - they also seem to come pre-installed with an inbuilt style barometer. So yes, annoyingly enough not only are they extremely good looking but they know how to capitalise on their good looks in an indie cool kind of way.<div><br />Like a good slow releasing carb, I'll post a Stockholm picture each day this week...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_OwweEzOUEbfJodqvBj9VumCAyRG3ecmcHU7IQuorUPmBJ3Wbz3b3TArojJsuACMei4SP33uvPiq-Qh1TKOklyKDVifmkE4InHHN4VkBetYxUVrS0TXNq6pJ9-rYfNgst6NhWSLmRsus/s1600/Stockholm+Street+Fashion_Gabriella+Crop-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 375px; height: 375px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_OwweEzOUEbfJodqvBj9VumCAyRG3ecmcHU7IQuorUPmBJ3Wbz3b3TArojJsuACMei4SP33uvPiq-Qh1TKOklyKDVifmkE4InHHN4VkBetYxUVrS0TXNq6pJ9-rYfNgst6NhWSLmRsus/s400/Stockholm+Street+Fashion_Gabriella+Crop-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529886412612264482" /></a><br />First up is Gabriella.
