Oh my God. This thread is actually starting to give me nightmares.

 

[Honey~Blade]

[chip45]

it's more embarassing that scary. i have never seen people like this out on the street. where are these pics taken...boganville?

agreed chip45.
although I'll concede that in Australia, we do love our colour and fluros (especially scene style), these recent pics are definatly from some kind of fancy dress party. thanks for posting though twill bill, what a laugh!

Gosh it's been a while since i've used this forum What i miss and notice from my recent trips to Thailand and US (Hawaii) is Aussie street style. We're willing to give anything a go... hence some of the wierd and embarssing moments. We DO love our havs, and we're proud of it! I noticed no where else in the world seems to wear thongs so well and fashionably. I think the word Havs is in the Aussie dictionary... if not it should be by now!

And I don't get where the rest of that outfit for that girl in the swimsuit/leotard went... we don't dress like that here... all the time

can you please post those pictures running vertically, it's really difficult to view them when the page is so long across

 

[Twill Bill]

^^ I'm sorry, I didn't realise that happened!
When I view the page the pictures automatically run vertically if they are wider than the screen.

It's interesting reading that blog and seeing what the fashionista person has to say about the fashion and what other Australians say.

It seems that photos from this blog at least are just of some crazy Melbournians whom no one really thinks anything of.

Comments I agree with:

"There is no style in finding some old opp shop shoes and matching them with some fugly gold ra ra skirt."

"I think i just vomited a little bit."

"i can't believe such a reputable newspaper would hire some self indulgent melbourne scenester chat to take pictures of their d*ckhead mates"

"Its all very 'look at me! Arent' I so original and crazy'"

Comments that make me cry:

"After travelling the world, I can honestly say that Melbourne is right up there as one of the most fashionable cities in the world."

"this is fashion at its best"

"your blog is a thing of beauty"

Alec's Final Thought

I really hope someone comes up with some nice style from Australia and shows us what they think Australian style is. Maybe even take some photos yourself!

Oh, and I can't f***ing wait until this thread goes on to a new page and I don't have to scroll horizontally.

Twill Bill I've had to edit the setup of the pictures that you have posted on this page, in the future please make sure to make a space between pictures so viewing becomes enjoyable for all.

BokuAlec - please refrain from using profanity. If you come across a similar problem, you can always contact a mod to have the issue handled.

AH I think this girl was inspired by prada spring collection

 

[collusion]

some of these last few posts have been horrifying to say the least... i don't even know what kind of dress up party these people are going to!

anyway, www.sportsgirl.com.au has a street style section, it's flash so i can't link it directly, but go to 'spied' >> 'on the street'. there are the ever-present scenesters, but i've come to accept that australian street-fashion-photographers are obsessed with this look.

does anyone read the 's' supplement that comes with sydney's sunday morning herald? i'd love to scan fernando frisoni's weekly column (very occasionaly he unearths some interesting looks) but i don't have a scanner!

edit: after looking at the sportsgirl photos properly, i'm not sure it was even worth linking. most of the looks are very blah. some of them are just... not great.
