Tommy Ton’s Do’s and Don’ts of Street Style
Follow these rules and you just might catch the eye of Fashion Week’s finest lensman.
How Street Style Jumped the Shark
GQ’s Will Welch prays for an end to the trend:
When the street-style trend went nuclear, all the accidental “Who, me?” unselfconsciousness that once made it so fresh was tainted. The streets became the runway. Next thing you know, wannabe style icons are stalking Sartorialist-favored avenues, hoping to be photographed. And—even worse—the fashionistas loitering outside the shows in Europe transformed from insiders who live the life into try-hards working overtime to get photographed. What everyone quickly learned is that the best way to get noticed is to go over the top—to identify every trend and pile them all on at once.
