STREET HEROES: Flower Power

Corey Moran — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 14:30:20 +0000

I could do without the puff ball on the hat, but this is a perfect look for the Winter if you ask me! Maybe it’s just me, but when it’s cold I find myself wearing clothes that are comfortable enough to walk in the door and hop back into bed in, but call me crazy!

STREET HEROES: Look At Us But Do Not Touch

Corey Moran — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 18:24:27 +0000

I mean it’s not terribly difficult to look cool when you’re draped in Brian Lichtenberg, but then again not everyone can wear BL. I can’t get over how awesome this look is, trust that I will own those jeans.

STREET HEROES: A Letter To France. Seraphin.

Corey Moran — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:33:56 +0000

I love this look! The weather is still trying to decide whether is it wants to be Winter yet or not, but when it finally does turn this is how I want to spend my winter. I love that sweater! I could live in that!

STREET HEROES: Saturnales

Corey Moran — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:40:34 +0000

If you can pull off a velvet suit and not look like an up tight douche you deserve to be on Fashion Indie. I love this look, but be careful this is not an easy one to pull off.

STREET HEROES: Wet

Corey Moran — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 20:14:33 +0000

If you ever want to make a statement in the fashion world you have to take a risk, and this kid is just going to prove that. His look is very androgynous and chic, and I love the shoes! Plus, the use of DIY pieces totally adds street cred!

STREET HERO: Denni

Hillary Frazier — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 17:08:06 +0000

I’d love to go to class looking like this. Denni’s got some great looks on her Lookbook! I think showing off your bra is officially trendy.

STREET HERO: Rachel Iwanyszyn

Hillary Frazier — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:26:41 +0000

Another Lookbook member that has an actual photographer to take their photos..I love these! Rachel’s look is simple, but so cute and polished! And she’s representing Michigan, which makes me temporarily retract any mean comments I’ve made about this state.

Do you guys love this look, or is it just me?

STREET HEROES: Denny W

Matt Newman — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:27:16 +0000

I guess the best way to move past the enduring humiliation that is surviving high school marching band is using your tiny jacket later in life for style. Being stick thin and baby faced doesn’t hurt either. Denny W updated the shit out of his high school torment and made it work, can I do the same thing with acne scars and memories of lonely lunches? Probs not, but way to go Denny.

STREET HERO: Diego Dom

Matt Newman — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 22:45:05 +0000

Adrien Grinier gone gay, who’s gonna hate that. Diego Dom fringed it up big time with his jacket and squeezed into some skinny’s for his backyard photo shoot, the result: me likey! Keep on Keepin on Diego

THE TEN: Best Street Style Blogs (Besides Fashion Indie, Of Course)

Hillary Frazier — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 20:16:00 +0000

We asked, and you told! Here are some of the best street style blogs (besides ours), including some favorites mentioned by our Twitter followers (in no particular order):

IS MENTAL: An awesome blog in itself, but also featuring some rad streetstyle from the webworld

Altamira NYC: Nicknamed the ‘off duty models blog,’ all sorts of industry peeps are featured on Altamira, making it even better than it already is to look at for street style.

Hoy Fashion: Streetstyle from London, Manchester, and Liverpool. What I like best about this styleblog is that it also includes close-ups of everyone’s faces

Jak and Jil: An absolute favorite, Jak and Jil frequent events and fashion shows, catching models, designers, and other fashion peeps, which makes for the most fashionable styleblog on the web

Glam Canyon: A typical feature in Fashion Indie’s RAW feed, and another unique look at style worldwide

Style Defined: A look at NYC’s style elite, and a guest photographer at Fashion Indie’s SoHo Grand events!

The Sartorialist: Given. So painfully cool that they have their own book.

Lookbook.nu: The roots of style blogs everywhere (including numerous style bloggers). Lookbook.nu was formerly an exclusive street style blog for invited members only, but I think they’ve opened it to the rest of the public now (judging by some of the horrors found on the site…) Regardless, it’s always a good site for Street Heroes, by the thousands.

Face Hunter: Another worldwide photo snapper, Face Hunter was the first style blog that I ever began to frequent (back when I was still in Michigan and didn’t know my way around the internet). I think I made a wise first choice, and I’ve been coming back ever since.

Click Clash: An East Coast street style blogger with a lot of fresh taste. Also, check out the blogroll in the right column, tons and tons of good clicks!

Who’s your favorite? Someone we missed?

QUEST: What Is Your Favorite Style Blog? (Besides Fashion Indie, Of Course)

Hillary Frazier — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:28:55 +0000

You know we love The Sartorialist, Face Hunter, Jak and Jil, and Lookbook.nu, but what’s happening out there in the world of style blogs? We want to know your favorite, whether it’s street style, style advice, or DIYs. Where are the best style blogs on the web?

STREET HEROES: Melissa Tofton

Hillary Frazier — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:16:50 +0000

LOVE the denim vest! As soon as I get home I’m cutting off the sleeves of my old denim jackets (which are so out) and going for this look. And her hair is amazing!

STREET HEROES: Hannah Snider

Hillary Frazier — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:00:52 +0000

We’ve featured Hannah before, but Lookbook.nu is looking pretty drab lately and she always looks fabulous. I NEED to get my hands on some tie dye jeans ASAP!

STREET HEROES: Magdalena K

Hillary Frazier — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 21:57:49 +0000

I love those tights so much, and the red bow. The clashing in this outfit actually works for me, and I’m not just saying that because of the size of the space between her thighs (so don’t hate anti-ED patrol)..she’s wearing a beret, come on!

STREET HEROES: Kate Pe

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:45:32 +0000

I love these DIY boots, and Kate’s bring red hair. I saw that shoulder-padded dress at H & M and seriously considered trying to pull it off, which I think she does wonderfully. Black is really easy to work crazy accessories with, and she’s killing it in this.

STREET HEROES: Grace Sunami

Hillary Frazier — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 13:31:02 +0000

She loves her new necklace, and so do we! (it was DIY-ed by a friend). Grace is super adorable, her haircut is awesome, and so are the rest of her looks!

STREET HEROES: Gabrielle H.

Not only did she make the scarf, she made the shirt too. Still wishing I knew how to do.

25 UNDER 25: Stylish People To Know

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:36:21 +0000

We’ve composed a list of the twenty five most stylish people we know under twenty five (well, a couple are “25″). Influences, creatives, or just plain crazy people, here’s Fashion Indie’s take on who to know, and who we wish we were as stylish as:

Celebrities-

Rihanna- Ri’s been really stepping it up lately. She’s got a wide range of looks, and is starting to find a world of her own when it comes to her style.

Lady Gaga- Everyone knows she’s crazy. Lady Gaga is definitely changing the views of fashion right now

Taylor Momsen- Are you surprised? You know we love her.

Emma Watson- The young HP actress is growing up! And looking hot at every event, if we do say so ourselves.

The Olsen Twins- They’ve been in the fashion eye for awhile now, and now that they’ve got some of their own lines, they always look awesome.

Zoe Kravitz- Lenny’s daughter! This teen has been making a lot of appearances lately, and looks good!

–

Models-

Chanel Iman- Our favorite model to follow on Twitter. Chanel is so adorable, and has really awesome style

Tallulah Morton- She’s all over the Cobra Snake (in a Cory Kennedy way), and always looking fly.

Cole Mohr- This is for you Kirby. Cole brought boyish and grunge to the fashion forefront, for models anyway. Plus he’s incredibly handsome, which definitely isn’t a bad thing.

Ethan James- Ethan is being seen more and more on the fashion scene (Milan fashion week, H & M, tons of editorial spreads), and has a similar look to Cole. I actually went to high school with this Ford model, and he’s been the most stylish guy I know since he was 15.

Jethro Cave- Pioneered the half-shaved head. LOVE those hanger tattoos.

–

Fashion Personalities and Party People-

Alexa Chung- Whether she’s dressed to kill or wearing denim cutoffs, Alexa Chung is always on top of her game.

Chloe Sevigny- Great designer, great style icon. I’m in love with her buckle booties, which she is seen wearing a lot, paired with skinny pants or cute dresses. Definitely a hipster style icon. We know she isn’t exactly under 25, but she’s been around for so long as a stylish designer to know, and like our moms, is one of those women that turn 25 every year for the rest of their lives.

Peaches Geldof- This social always looks gorgeous (as do all the Geldofs), for events or on the street with her fake fiance.

Aaron Kolfage- Fashion Indie’s favorite party host and dear friend, Aaron always looks fierce on Friday nights at Ruff Club. He dresses with such creativity, I haven’t seen anything like it anywhere else. This weekend, Aaron was wearing a giant tulle bowtie with a brooch in the middle, and I was mad jealous. Aaron gives us Midwesterners hope for being incredibly stylish, he’s from Michigan!

Fashion Bloggers-

Pelayo of Kate Loves Me – This guy, and his girlfriend, both have killer style. He wears some of the craziest things I’ve ever seen (including Louis Vuitton mesh tights!), and has perfectly coiffed hair at all times.

Lovisa The Intern- Lovisa Drever is all over Lookbook.nu, but I know her from Waffles + Falafels (who even briefly carried a shirt with her photo on it). She’s got a killer sense of style and can pull anything off, plus adds to the crazy personalities of W + F, who are some of my favorite people.

Six Six Sick Girls- These hosts and bloggers DIY matching outfits for their events, which include everything from red wigs to elbow gloves. They not only have a crazy (and matching) sense of DIY style, they also post some (literally) sick stuff on their blog.

Kirby Marzec- Fashion Indie’s own managing editor, Kirby not only knows everything about every designer, and what’s going to be hot next season, but she also isn’t afraid to pull it off. Whether it’s drop (to the knee) crotch pants, DIY ripped tees, or metal vests, you can be assured that Kirby will wear it, and she’ll wear it damn well.

Jazzi McG- We had a half hour long talk the other day about how much we love Jazzi’s blog, and her style. A queen of DIYing and always dressed perfectly for the occasion, she’s definitely one to watch.

Tavi of Style Rookie- Tavi is no rookie, maybe in the way that ‘Rookie of the Year’ becomes a professional baseball player, Tavi dresses better than some veterans of fashion.

Camille of Childhood Flames- Another not-even-legal fashion blogger showing that you don’t have to have a career to be fashionable, this sixteen year old is a pro at mixing designer goods with things we can afford, and is also taking advantage of the DIY world.

Lucas Logan- This 18-year-old from LA is all over the internet, model/blogger (Stylish Kids In Riot)/designer, Lucas is California’s newest ‘It’ Kid, braces and all.

–

Musicians-

Uffie- I mean look at her, in.sane.

The Veronicas- I’ve followed The Veronicas since I was in high school, and their style has definitely evolved into rocker chic. They always look good separately, and even better together, on stage or off, and aren’t afraid to take risks.

STREET HEROES: Tao Tao

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 21:35:27 +0000

Not sure why I hated when my mom wore shoulder pads, because they’re my new favorite look. After seeing Lykke Li at Webster Hall in a pink jacket with amazing shoulders, I’ve decided this is the next big thing. Such a dramatic, awesome look. Awesome job, Tao

STREET HEROES: Merve Polat

Hillary Frazier — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:36:32 +0000

I’m not normally a huge fan of netted hairpieces, but her haircut pulls it off perfectly. The fur is faux, too. She’d look cute at the Marc event tonight!

STREET HEROES: Marion Saint-Jean

Hillary Frazier — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 19:24:55 +0000

David Bowie shirt and leather gloves = good. I’m really into the thigh-high sock look lately.

THE TEN: People Who Deserve To Be Kicked Off LookBook.nu

Corey Moran — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:59:17 +0000

1. Baseball tee, Levis, and pimsols…real original dumbass. Don’t post on a style site if you don’t have style!

2. Sale rack at Forever 21…tacky!

3. Jersey Shore Bouncer Chic…nice! Great photoshop work too. HA!

4. You look like a Romanian Olympic gymnast who fell off the balance beam and hit your head really hard.

5. Baggiest leggings ever! This is what we like to call style vomit, people.

6. We get it, you’re super hipster. Nice Ray Bans…so original. Now, go put your mom’s sheets back on her bed and go back to your 9-5 at Sonic. 2 for 1 Thursdays don’t serve themselves.

7. Every cholo’s dream: Rosie Perez chic straight from White Men Can’t Jump.

8. Nice eyebrows! I’m pretty sure college campuses breed douches like this.

9. Boot cut 7′s jeans and a pleather jacket? Urban Outfitters salutes your mediocracy!

10. At least make what your’re wearing visible!

Hillary Frazier — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:43:55 +0000

This handmade dress is a dream! PB said she made it, “I first built a duct tape and paper structure, then hand printed sheets of paper with acrylic paint and hand cut lino stamps, cut them out and stapled them to the core. twine is used along one side to fasten the dress.” DIY to die for!

For all you Lookbook.nu fans out there (including myself!), Unif has created a Lookbook.nu-inspired tee with the ever famous ‘Hype’ on it.
