The push towards the death of street style (or perhaps its a lampooning of people who dress solely in the hope of appearing in a street style snap) continues to find champion in GQ. Recently there was an essay mocking a large part of what gets photographed, now there’s a guide to help gentleman get photographed in the forthcoming. Laden with ridicule the guide promises to teach you “five style innovations” to help a gent navigate “the fiercely competitive, man-eat-man world of street style.”

stupid street style

From the neck tie as bow tie to the ‘through the back door’ (not as rude as it promises to be, alas), it’s probably only the ‘sock-it square’ that has any sartorial merit. Accidentally, of course.

Late one Oxford night Daniel P Dykes set about creating a fashion publication that would go someway to being an arbiter on fashion as it appeals to the emerging power generations: those who don't remember a world without the Internet and for whom work plays second fiddle to pleasure. And so Fashionising.com was born as a publication for those who were focussed not just on fashion's trends, but on society's too, and how those trends could all go to heighten the art of living. Hence, Daniel sees a future where, for those young at heart, both fashion and style are grounded in traditional quality, but with a youthful, sensualised edge. Daniel is Fashionising.com's Editor in Chief and Chairman.
