I'm a fan of the lifestyle, design, fashion, decor, & stylist's blogs and I'm probably older than these talented authors' moms. This book is great inspiration for my artwork and I love its European vibe.

3.0 out of 5 stars Personalized Fashion, No So Personalized Commentaries., October 26, 2010

A bit misleading, this is not a 'book' but a compilation of individual fashion styles from around the world. It definitely steers clear of mainstream fashion, instead indulges in personalized and pluralistic art for self-expression. In other words, 'wear your heart on your sleeves'. I find it refreshing, in an off-beat and eclectic way. If anything, this compilation asks of you to have an open-mind and non-judgmental attitude, appreciate the creative expression and respect the liberal outside-the-box thinking. There are mini commentaries by the photographer interspersed throughout, but I find them inconclusive and lacking. Those few commentaries don't fully grasp the photographer's intent and purpose, as well as not aiding the story of the photos.*

Lots of images from the street, not bad but can be disappointing if you are expecting this book to be like a glossy magazine. These is just normal people trying to do their best effort not be confused with someone who dresses in GAP all week. The photography doesn't make much effort to be anything, its quite normal, don't expect Yvan Rodic to follow the steps of Jurguen Teller, Terry Richardson, The Cobra Snake or Merlin Bronques. No out of focus background, no flash, no funny angles.
If you are not shure about this one, just stick to the blog, for some reason the images look better in the screen than printed. I thought I would never say that.
