Fluoro bandaid stuck to your foreheadThis is possibly the strangest street trend I've come across since I encountered a few people walking each other on leashes... but I digress - the latest 'thing' to hit Melbourne streets are Fluoro bandaids stuck to one's forehead. I kid you not, today I witnessed not one, but two tweens walking the streets with the brightest bandaids ever to be produced (in fact so bright, I think they may have been irradiated at Chernobyl) plastered to their heads. 2007 Men's Fashion Trends to Buy In ToBelgian fashion designer Kris van Assche has given Details magazine his two pence on 'his guidelines for looking good'. Some key gems: Ballet Flats On The StreetBill Cunningham at the NY Times wrote this cute little piece on the continuing trend of ballet shoes: "The snow hadn't disappeared from the streets of New York and already the first trend of spring could be seen up and down Madison Avenue: the revival of flat ballet-style shoes.

Rene says: Why do boys wear bags at all? All you need is money, keys, phone - right? Pockets in your jeans will do? Wrong! One obvious reason is practicability here! If you ever lived in Tokyo, one thing is for sure: everybody spends a lot of time travelling on the train from home to the centre of things (think about the greater metropolitan area of Tokyo - this is not Paris!). That's why people might not come home after work before sports or party activities (and some won't even come home for days...). |
