Product Description
Product Description
Ask any designer, fashion editor, or art director where the hottest trends are coming from, and they'll tell you it's from the streets of certain cities. And if you ask them what magazine gives the best, most authoritative coverage of these outsider fashion incubators, chances are they'll say Nylon. Nylon here combines its street cred and international expertise (the magazine is read in major cities around the world, and has recently launched both Japanese and Australian editions) to reveal the iconic looks in the seven most fashion-forward cities today: London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Melbourne, Copenhagen and New York. Led by acclaimed editor in chief Marvin Scott Jarrett, Nylon's editors, writers, and photographers cover these cities' trends with the same signature flair, enthusiasm, and eye for the cutting edge that has catapulted the magazine to the top of its demographic. Each chapter opens with an introduction describing the city's particular history, traits, and culture, followed by full-page pictures of each city's stylish residents, showing their creativity in full detail, from Tokyo's famous Goth Lolitas to Copenhagen's casual chic and everything in between. Quotes from each subject tell about who influences their personal style, what they love about their city, and their favorite local stores. Edgy, colorful, and fascinating to look at, Street is a chronicle of diverse urban style that you won't be able to put down.

Format:Paperback
As a fashion student I find it difficult to research cultural style in other countries without actually hopping on a plane - this book is fantastic for giving a little insight to some of the major fashion capitals of the world. It shows real people with their own quirkiness without all of the magazine 'styling'.
Also perfect for fellow designers who have difficulty in finding decent 'poses' for illustrations!

excellent source book, bought when i lost inspiration when looking on the high street. good for inspiration on the off days. good to have around when looking at other youth cultures in other cities. i find this of great use as part of my degree
"Nylon" a fashion magazine is already a well known and respected publication, so i knew the quality is good when i first clapped eyes on this publication.
THE INSIDER INFORMATION FOR FASHION LOVERS EVERYWHERE.

it was nice to flip through, but failed to surprise; nothing particularly edgy or inspirational unless you are a fan of understated fashion

Buy The Sartorialist instead!
I dunno if it is because it may seem slightly dated, but I'd say at least a 1/3 of the people in this book were just to fill the book up! Read more
