London Fashion Week Street style 2012

London Fashion Week Spring 2013 Street Style

What really makes street style inspiring is the spontaneity. Of course, assembling a look requires artistry, but the best photographs outside of the shows are always about the big picture. Take for example, Phil Oh’s shot of the seen-everywhere Céline bag in tow with a pair of dramatically curved Jason Wu heels. While the combination itself is interesting, the photo really comes alive when you notice that the accessories’ owner is walking over a paintedLOOK on the street. Notice how Michelle Reneau’s neon knit is electrified when she sits in front of a colorful mural. Or how the wind catches Hanneli Mustaparta’s hair, forming a shape that’s echoed in her billowing blazer sleeve and the strap on her Jil Sander bag. While hot orange arrows on a motocross-inspired Alexander Wang happen to match a string of construction workers idling behind. There’s so much more to enjoy than the cool clothes on display. Just look.
