What I Wore Today | An exploration of street style around the world

Posted by Jordana Mah, February 13, 2009 12:26 AM |

wiwcover.jpgIf you want to know the latest trends and hottest looks for upcoming seasons, don't bother looking to the magazine racks, or listening to the gospel of the fashion police -- the edgiest fashions are coming straight from the streets and blasting through to the masses via the humble ethernet cable.

The Internet is revolutionizing fashion and if you didn't know this already, then from now on you will. Blogs, especially street fashion blogs and sites, such as Flickr or Lookbook are showcasing fashionistas around the globe, and now a taste of that street fashion pie is captured in the book What I Wore Today: Fashion Remixed Online from Beijing to Berlin.

Composed entirely of photos, this collection was compiled from postings by girls around the world. Many of the fashions are refreshingly unique, and yet there is also a subtle consistency in styles between places as far apart as Kansas, to Singapore, to Moscow.

Whether you are into fashion, social trends, or simply photography, there is something inspiring about this book as these homemade photos capture glimpses into the lives of these girls and a generation.
