Perfection: Street Fashion







































Dress: 1950’s Vintage; Purse: Vintage bought on eBay; Shoes: Louis Vuitton ; Sweater: Vivienne Westwood

So for my sake, all of you, take just a few moments to experience the first picture here. I won’t say more. But do tell me what you think. 

So now that you’ve established that S is a genius and when it comes to spotting incredibly fashionable people we’ve had really good luck so far, I have another thought in my head. Not that I don’t like current fashion as we wear it right now, but I often wonder why I am always gravitated towards the classics. I mean every decade before, I would say, 1980’s was different [fashion wise]. Each had its own style and almost its own era. From 1980’s onwards I feel like everything has just been a mismatch and blur of generic trends and returning trends. IMHO we don’t have a strong style type that truly belongs to our decade, namely 2000-2010. Or should I wait till 2040 to look back and maybe it will be more evident then? Not sure.

Maki is a Fashion consultant and designer clad in 1950’s vintage. Taking the whole look from head to toe in that direction. The hairstyle, the pearl hair pin, the purse, the makeup, everything!! Its so exciting for me to meet such people. I loveeeee it!!

  1. She lives in the wrong century. Her look is amazing! I think the years before have more expression than ours now,too. But maybe we really have to wait until 2040. ;)

  11. the first pic has the dreaminess of a movie . . . or a murakami novel! and yeah i agree, there is nothing that is iconically our times. maybe we're just a generation of consumers and our ancestors were predominantly creators. i strongly believe in that in most aspects of life; that we make a choice of whether to primarily be a consumer or a creator
