Fashion on the street

What it is - is FASHION. Big Frank has been checking out fashion websites and fashion blogs. The typical person in the street, the typical blog reader - you, most likely, along with Big Frank can be a little mystified by much of what is found on the catwalks. However, it is always interesting to see what is found on the street, and luckily there are lots and lots of blogs that cater exclusively to that. The preeminent one, of course, is The Sartorialist; do visit that site, because in many ways all the others are attempts to duplicate what he does so well - capture real people on the street showing fashion in its real public face. There are lots and lots of other sites in lots of other countries. See stylebytes for a pretty good list of sites along with a few short descriptions of each. Many of these sites have links to others, and some like styleclicker allow you to view fashion shots by the cities in which they were taken: it covers everything from Bangkok to Vienna. Then, of course, there is Bill Cunningham of the New York Times who posts media slide shows of his shots on the streets of New York, and also other cities. Here is his post on the rise of boots (look out the boot craze is growing and is now going OVER the knee). Finally, Washingtonians, not to fear, there is also a street fashion blog that focuses on Seattle 21arrondissement. What about fashion on the streets of Spokane? As of yet - no blogs on that; maybe Big Frank will take his camera out on the streets - could be interesting (or else not).
