Fashion vs. StreetStyle

New York, London, Paris, …   one by one fashionable cities with great fashion shows!  But there is also 'the circus outside the show': the street style photographers.

The romance between photographers and fashion on the streets is a tool for magazine editors and designers, an expression for the photographer himself and the model but a frustration for many fashion editors. 

Garage magazine captured all the fuss in a short documentary about the circus!

I have to admit, I love street style blogs! There is something about those causual and every day shots in a steet-settings.  My roommate pointed out this charming blog 'What Ali wore'.

Photographer Zoe Spawton works in a cafe in Berlin and every morning at 9:05, Ali, this elderly Turkish man walks by, dressed very stylish.  After days, weeks of greetings and smilings Zoe started to take pictures of Ali.  A new street style star is born: What Ali Wore

Yesterday's whereabouts: the awesome quartier Le Marais in Paris.  This trendy and beautiful area of Paris mixes the old with the new, hip with tradition and fashion with food.  It's like a lively little town in a big city! A very interesting fact: The shops are open on Sundays in Le Marais!!

Activity of the day: shopping and window shopping, drinking coffee and enjoying 12 hours of Paris.
 
Shop of the day:

There are tons of great spots in Le Marais, but this one is my favorite:  Simonne & Lisa B. Between some art galleries and designer studios you can find this very nice boutique. Entering this shop is like entering a world of fresh young designers.

oh so mine: ring from Clara Jasmine
