That Ashish dress looks completely out of place on the girl in post 1030! Some people can just not carry off his pieces. His A/W08 show was amazing, btw! Loved it.

for whoever said London street style isn't consistant.....I think it's important to keep in mind that what we see really isn't really a sampling of how everyone dresses. It's a very specific type of look that gets photographed over and over again. And yes, in general I would say Londoners dress more indie and more mix and match than let's say New York or Paris but I think it's totally wrong to compare them. I mean, when I was last in Paris, I really saw no one dressed as well as I see in the Paris Street Style thread. The people they shoot for these things are people who they think embodies paris street style. Though I think there's a lot more acceptance and approval in London for dressing offbeat and quirky.

its a mystery to me how anyone could say 'this city dresses like this and that city dresses like that' theres a general idea but unless u monitor every single person in that city and what she/he wears u can never really tell...there is certainly a special 'Parisian' look and a special 'London street style' but even that i think is limited to a special 'scene' whether its the fashion scene, the music scene, the art scene...etc.

^^ exsactly .. you can not honestly say you get all you influences from with in that city or country .. your have outside influences as well of course

I agree with you to a certain point but I still think you can dissect a typical London-look ... and that is what most of the age group 15-25 wears... it's very vintage inspired not afraid to mix prints often and very often a tan vintage bag.

They are in no way as crazy as the facehunter pictures as they are just taken in the East End/Shoreditch area..

I'm not saying they all dress like that but is very..shall I say..indie inspired.. I always feel like I am the only one drawn to a minimalistic sense of dressing..my mates don't really 'get' why I don't wear colours... in London I feel special but, actually..to my surprised missed standing out in Paris as in the chic areas everyone was wearing black!

It did get a tad dull... and coming home I actually had to put on an electric blue dress just to balance out my mood.

Is it weird while on holiday in Paris I was able to spot Londoners from miles away?

i'm excited about london style. what other city can claim that its individuality is mainstream? it's like one big eye candy shop. and in terms of trends: i feel like they change daily.
