Someone said to me recently that it was no longer pc to refer to something as being ‘rad’?

…Apparently its too main stream?

I have never been one to follow trends but I did think it was a slightly bizarre comment.

All things rad aside welcome to fashion iiinside soon to be a collection of my thoughts, musings and ramblings on all things fashion and style.

Meeoww!

A Street & Studio to Juergen Teller to Marc Jacobs to BryanBoy rambling

A common theme for me is seeing things advertised on the underground and thinking ‘ I really must go to that’ and then forgetting about it until I see it again. Maybe I need to invest in a dictaphone so I could do the little ‘note to self…must go see the Street & Studio exhibit at the Tate…’
www.tate.org.uk/modern/exhibitions/streetandstudio/

But last night I finally did remember to go so with help from my boyf who I love for having a TATE membership off we went…

I was most interested to go and check this exhibit out as it features some of Juergen Tellers work who I am really into at the moment because of the whole Marc Jacobs/Victoria B collaboration (which I’ll talk about shortly) but also because I really just truly love street style. I was first inspired by the book FRUITs I bought years ago and am an avid facehunter regular.

The exhibit looks at street style from its beginnings and starts with some of the first street photographs ever taken in the 1800s through to street photography of today. Although I went with the intent to look at Tellers work my favourite piece in the end was by Rineke Dijkstra called the Buzz Club. It was a video piece where she had set up an improvised studio in the Buzz Club Liverpool and it shows various people dancing, smoking, gurning looking a bit like twats basically! There is some good footage on you tube (see below).

 

if you are interested its also a nice reminder as to how ‘dowdy’ 90s fashion could be . . im lovin this matching tracksuit combo.


But back to the Juergen/Marc/Posh collaboration… I am sure you have all already seen the campaign images as they have been bandied about on numerous fashion blogs. But something that really did make me smile the other day was Bryan Boys ‘homage to Marc’ apparently Jacobs is quite a fan of Bryan Boy…and now so am I, his blog

is FIERCE as they say.

Here are some great street style blogs for all you fashion hungry
