Street Style

You've got unread emails. You've got one from UK Vogue. You've been receiving this daily newsletter since you were 14. For the love of it, there it is, at your fingertips. And so you see there's street style images and every month or so take a moment to scroll through them. It's always exciting what you may find. There's the term that's often overused to live vicariously through someone else. For many of these people, you'd never dream of wearing what they're getting around in, but there's always the chance to play vicariously...
This first image in New York takes me back to the summery days we spent walking down the streets of the West Village in delight. To stumble upon markets on a Saturday, cupcakes on a Wednesday, necklaces and jackets on a Friday, it's was ultimately a time to simply enjoy.
Some of these other images are also from New York, others from London. I attended a UTS Speaks talk last night from one of their Public Lectures series. It was about 'The New Writing', and how with the development of technology, a whole new writing language is emerging that is considered inherently learned rather than taught. Take for example the phenomenon of twitter. Meaningful sentences condensed into 140 characters? Or presentation tables, they're a form of writing perhaps none of us have really considered, but they certainly change the structure of a conventional sentence and that's something that's, in the grand scheme of things, a relatively new use of specific language.
The brief captions that accompany images that you can see here are often purely descriptive to say where the garments are from. We don't know anything else about the person other than their age and profession, given as a point not structured in a sentence. Given that information, we can form our whole new basis on what they might be wearing every other day of the week. The beauty of fashion and technology is that it's changing rapidly. Ever evolving. Like our language.
