Call me a hater, but I'm over it.
It was cute and novel in the beginning. But the ubiquity of street style blogs everywhere is killing individuality and surprise. It just seems like everyone's a street style star and everyone dresses for the sole purpose of the camera versus for themselves.
It's bad news when the only person on the street who I think has the best sense of style is the guy who's wearing everything in his closet, which just happens to be Margiela. But even this guy is street style bait and within 6 months, everyone will be layering like him.
Perhaps that's my other problem with street style. The blatant and constant stealing. It seems like a person's individual style is open for interpretation, inspiration and theft. It's one thing for a designer to be inspired by someone but it's another to just blatantly steal someone's look for the sole purpose of commerce and a styling trick and then move on to the next one.
It's vampiric.
YES
I should look away but I just can't seem to since it's always in my face.
NO
Say no to homogeny and yes to individuality!
MAYBE
Personal style is overrated and we are all going to look like the same biracial child in the future wearing the same distressed denim and apple watch.
