This is England... (Skinhead Chic)

^^Me too.
This style is so far from femininity so I just stand it on girls. I think there's something more - this girls doesn't act like girls and it makes everything looks so.. rough.

i prefer the original pics with people who were involved in the whole well i want to say revolution, but a small one... everything else is recycling

^Isn't almost all fashion about recycling and adapting though? Originality is very prized but sometimes I find the retellings and the reinterpretations much better.

I do think I understand what you mean though, that there's a real story behind the original pictures as opposed to the others?

Never liked this trend. Mainly because a large part of it comes from punk anarchists from the 1970s and 1980s. I'm thinking of Generation X and The Clash. But that being said DSquared did a mens collection a few years back that was skinhead-inspired and I loved it.

i think fashion is more about innovation. and i prefer the old photos cos they were not only related to fashion, but they are also reflection of the whole society, those people were part of cultural revolution. but im not saying that going back to decades is bad. i just love originals.
