Emerald: Street Fashion




Images by Prutha Raithatha



The people I find most interesting to shoot for their fashion are people who have a somewhat original point of view that is only their own and no one else's. I see a lot of street fashion blogs with a lot of very beautiful people wearing expensive beautiful clothes and shoes, but more than half of them i find dull and not original or even remotely creative. I can see that outfit put together in any J.Crew catalogue so I wonder why it needs to be documented in a form of a blog if its so generic. But I shall not dwell on that anymore. I am glad I find the craziest, most creative people on the streets. They inspire me to push myself and step out of my comfort zone. I am sure Lady Gaga will approve ;-)

Emerald is definitely one of those people. Her raw layered outfit is just what I mean by a personal sense of individual trend-free style. She shredded that long thrifted Kenneth Cole Dress her self and FYI she bought that dress for only 50 cents. Love the cardigan on it with one long sleeve and the other a tank. The Lace circle scarf + foxhead+ chains she put together were all found in trash and hence FREE!! She cut her own hair and there is really no limit to how much she inspires me. Love the ram skull ring and the skull bead bracelets. 
You can check out her cool blog at Le Reclus Noir Nu.
Peace out Lovers!!

  1. I quite agree with your viewpoint of deriving inspiration from people who take it up one, no, lots of notches. However, it's all about comfort at the end I guess. You know, for example, I may be inspired by Emerald and do a little bit of shredding in one or two of my t-shirts or something but I wouldn't be 'personally' either comfortable or 'be able to pull off' what Emerald has done so well. So I think people just document their own styles, which may inspire some others who are like them so then it all balances out you know! :)

    Anyhow, I wish I had good camera skills because Austin's got a bunch of weird styles that would look so good if they end up on your blog! :)

    For some reason, she reminds me a little of Bow Wow Wow, gosh I haven't thought of that band in years.

  11. Youre quite right. I agree with most of those things. I guess in a way everything is relative, but it is really hard not to pity some of the bloggers of today. They have no idea what real originality is about. Not that im an expert, but i think its about not trying too hard, about exploring and feeling good about yourself.I like your blog by the way.

  16. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yours is really very interesting Prutha! I'll be the first to admit I am no fashionista by any stretch of the imagination....I don't follow any trends, I'd live in a T shirt and jeans all the time if I could!! Hmmm..maybe that does make me a fashionista???? Anyways......nice pics. Very edgy and stylish!
