Now Reading…Streetstyle
On one of the latest editions of SPOT’s Fleamarket, the members of the organization collaborated with the PYMCA. One of the available items at the market was the revised edition of “Streetstyle” by Ted Polhemus.
The new edition is approximately 100 pages longer than the original, and remains a compilation of all known existing street styles to date, including “tribes” such as punks, teddy boys, rockabillies, surfers, etc…
A renowned document among fashion enthusiasts, it has become a style bible for many, such as actress Chloe Sevigny. If you want to further enhance your knowledge of each individual style or simply draw inspiration from the amazing featured pictures, this is a great addition to your library.
Streetstyle Contest @ Flea Market
This Saturday, Spot’s Flea Market will be hosting a streetstyle contest at Rua das Flores, in downtown Porto. Everyone’s invited to drop by and portray their original looks, be it preppy, punk, hipster, surfer or any other. The aim is to capture the diversity and individuality of streetstyle nowadays, and on the plus side the winner gets an autographed copy of the book “Streetstyle” by Ted Polhemus. I’ll be there…how about you?
