New book -- Streetwear
I just picked this up from World of Mirth in Richmond. I've been
interested in streetwear ever since I went to the University of
Richmond without having money for an expensive wardrobe. It was a great
way to express myself without resorting to fourth rate imitations of
proper styles.
It might surprise present friends, since I've worn pretty muted clothes since then, but I've always loved the stubborn independence, ingenuity and visual flair of streetwear.
I read the first 50 pages tonight, and already enjoy the angle
Vogel is taking. Hope it will continue to be a fascinating glimpse at a
creative, touchy, volatile, and rich subculture.
