NY Diary #3 Brooklyn Flea & Brunch

So we have sunday car boots, muddy football fields  and Ducktales on VHS. Yeh it's ok and yes everything tends to be under a fiver, you will probably make at least one friend over 70 and leave with a niggling feeling that you should have bought that teapot. Brooklyn's different, like you see in films there are very few fields in the city and when there is they're massive and cornered off and quite often have a zoo in or at least a small menagerie. So instead of the car boot they have flea which is a cool way of saying lush boutique stores under a canopy in a playground. They're amazing, copious amounts of delicious food from company's all over the city appear, I have massive love for Dough the best Doughnut stand, EVER. They're huge, incredible and coated in the best sort of icing you could imagine. The Flea see's tents selling intentional worn denim, beautiful lace dresses. Vibrant 60's kitchen everythings, Star wars figures vs Trolls, little tin things I'm not sure what for even vintage fairground parts. And the best thing about all these things is the variety of gorgeous people that it attracts.

We LOVE.

The print mini skirt

summer dresses (never too late)

Loose tee's girls and boys

Dungaree a classic

Night time dresses worn in the day.....

TOUGH GUYS: AW '13 Punk Trend

Skinheads and Punk subcultures are very different and carry quite an angry and hostile history with them but to avoid me rewriting my University dissertation again today we will only be talking about the fashion and style that emerged and has been recreated for years since.

It's an instantly recognisable style which has been moving into the mainstream for years now. The look and culture was at it's strongest during the 1980s but began in the late 60's and went hand in hand with common values of anti-establishments, non conformity, direct action and not selling out, which makes it a funny one to be so on trend! There was a strong unity in style and almost 'gang' mentality but we look up to their DIY and individual ethic which is something we do believe in so we have chosen this style as one of our favourite A/W '13 trends.
Here are some classic punks who we do look up to for what they do, believe in and of course their icon styles!

PATTI SMITH 

JOAN JETT AND BLONDIE

Here are some classic skin head girls who have the iconic denim, Fred Perry polo shirt, Dr Martins, braces and skinhead look which we all know, more recently from the 2006 Shane Meadows movie This is England which caused a stir and brought a huge skinhead revival back to life!

THIS IS ENGLAND

SKINHEAD BOOK - NICK KNIGHT

1982

This is a brilliant book.. even if you don't care much for the history, origin, music, attitude and lifestyle which is all covered in there, you may enjoy the clear, raw, emotional photography!
