Trending.

Check it out. The ultimate exercise in cataloging street fashion trends. We know about trends, like young girls at the moment have their hair really long, nail polish is cool, middle aged Christian men wear polo shirts with wide horizontal stripes, urban men are wearing beards and plaid. What is surprising is how SPECIFIC a look can be, and not in teenage girl copying a magazine way—people of all ages have their "style tribe" as it is called. These portraits are taken wearing exactly what they wear on the street, and everyone is expressing themself. It's so interesting to look at the people around you like this, and also wonder which style tribes you subconsciously emulate. (Jeans and brown cardigan girls?) And when you have different areas of your life, like mum culture and office culture and muso culture, how you combine them or switch between.
