Cold elbows

With matching black leg-warmers, gloves, scarf and peaked beanie you’ve got to wonder why this guy doesn’t go all out and wear a coat. His voluminous white fro no doubt keeps him warm on those lonely winter nights.

Looking like Sir Chumley Imatoff on a day at the polo, this guy is smooth sassy talker who knows what he wants and pulls his socks up like a pro. This guy reeked of so much cool we had to hold our breath as we walked by.
1980′s fashion come-back bollocks, the 1890′s is where it’s at; the more vintage is it the better. Next week cod-pieces and suits of armour.
I looked up ‘plus fours’ in the dictionary today & I’m not proud.

Not in shot: his ginger moustache
Blue Man

Fresh from 1982.
Looking like the twisted offspring of Stevie Wonder and the Blue Man group (and courtesy of @icklekaskas).
I really am at a loss of how else to describe this one other than to point out the polish woman behind him, she’s not impressed. Although I will say I would’ve been happy if he was poppin’ and lockin’, or better stilling robot(ing) down the street.
Call grandma – she wants her shower curtain back.

Lovely. The day after I created this these eejits appeared in front of me whilst wandering about at lunch. Heaven sent one might say. It required a bit of overtaking and hiding around a corner action but all tings considered a satisfactory catch, its a shame I couldn’t get all of the bags/haircuts in shot but as its the first attempt I’m sure you’ll forgive me…
I can only surmise that these three were taking a daily pilgramage from the mecca of hoxton and shoreditch to go to the apple store.
nice haircuts too
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.
