Sporting the unlikely juxtaposition of woolen hattery and shorts + t-shirt you could be forgiven for thinking that this young oik is a bit confused.
Do not fret though readers as this is just an important fashion statement - something to do with juxtaposing society against the craziness of modern living set against the poverty of struggling east london artistes, or some other frippery. I fear I’m just too jaded and cynical to recognise truly expressive genius when I see it.
Feast your eyes until they can gorge no more.
Not in shot - their ‘clever’ poster.
The Mission
Posted by admin in Fashion victim mission statement on January 19th, 2009
Well I just can’t let the opportunity pass to shame some of the extreme fashion victims I see on my way to and from work in Brick Lane. Having worked around here for a year or two I’ve seen some prize sights and thought it was about time this was spread to the wider world.
I have seen plenty of dire attempts, including the infamous bear hat man (honestly he looked like a cross between a court jester and a cro magnon - he was indescribable but had some sort of fluffly coat/poncho/cocoon on with pointy shoes). And now in my magnanimity I will share this with anyone who is willing to plough through my rubbish rhetoric to forage for the good stuff.
The Method
I have 2 techniques scoped out for the mission;
1) I’m going to pretend to take scenery photos with my camera phone and really secretly snap people
2) I’m going to procure a digital SLR and actually ask them if they could pose, I figure that they will be vain/naive enough for it.
The Results
These will be posted up here whenever I have a fresh batch.
