Whatever happened to the plain old street style? Most of the street style fashion that we see today seems to be a replica of the ones found in fashion magazines and designer shows. The idea of portraying unique fashion styles seems to be disappearing in the modern world. To make matters worse, there appears to be a major shortage of uniqueness and ingenuity about styling merchandised products that are sported on the streets nowadays. According to a number of fashion experts, one of the biggest reasons for the disappearance of the authentic street style is that most consumers prefer to deck themselves out in merchandised and branded products from head to toe at the expense of individual fashion styles. As a result, instead of sporting their true personal styles, they end up dressing up as billboards for some of the major brands out there.
Luckily for us, there is still some interest that remains in the street style business. One of the biggest reasons for this interest are a group of stunning fashion insiders who have become the women to watch out for on the streets. Call them the czarinas of street style if you like, but these women are not just known for their good looks and fearless dressing sense. They are also known to match designer clothing and accessories to their personal styles in order to create an exotic and immensely appealing image. As a result, these beauties have become the center of focus for almost all upcoming and established photographers and they help to bring in a whiff of fresh air into a world that seems too impersonal and brand-centric. What’s more, these beauties are also known to be as serious about friendship and mingling as they seem to be about fashion! We bring to you the most popular street style stars to watch out for.
