Street Fashion Blogs


Supermodel Agyness Deyn poses for London Cycle Chic.

The Sartorialist street fashion blog by Scott Schuman, which mainly focuses on NYC, Milan, and Paris has spawned a series of blogs around the world that feature people wearing their own clothes and looking fabulous. This new trend is exciting, because it focuses on style, rather than branding, and signals a renewed appreciation for the art of fashion. Perhaps car culture has made it too easy to throw on a pair of sweats and sneakers and leave the house; the make, model, and color of one's vehicle expressed one's identity and style. However, walking, biking, or riding mass transit are public activities in which one may run into anyone, and clothing/accessories are key. Below, I list some street fashion blogs for your pleasure. Rest assured that there are many many more than what I have listed, and that some of these blogs have links to other sartorialist-inspired sites. I am sad to see that the Chicago Sartorialist is just a few shots of Chicagoans, and lots of commentary on designers and fashion shows, not people wearing their own clothes.
