These were attractive people on the street, not professional models (except one but it was just happenstance!) and the clothes they chose to wear that day. I like street fashion more than runway fashion. My only negative thought was that, while stylish, the outfits were very middle of the road. There were very few examples of anything remotely extreme like in Fruits. I would like to see more outrageous fashion, people whith character who are interesting regardless of age or size. I did really like this book and I see something new everytime I look through it.

I've noticed in other reviews people have taken up with the fact that its not like Fruits. I think that that is a good thing. It's got more "practical" style if you will. If you're looking to change up your own style a bit, this is much more helpful and inspirational. It's not just for admiring.

I really liked this book. It reminded me of Fruits, but I liked this slightly more because it focused on different countries rather than just one country like Fruits did. Some people didn't really have intresting style, but not everyone does, and that also made me like it. The style wasn't to an extreme; there were cute, but simple outfits, too. I highly recommend this to any fashion lover.

I had bought this book expecting smart, interesting coverage of fashion as evidenced by the magazine. That's why I was so disappointed when I read this book. It has some worthwhile, interesting outfits, but the level of the photography is so low as to be distracting. Almost all the photos are out of focus, and many, including the entire Paris section, have such horrible lighting so as to completely obscure the actual outfits. I couldn't believe Nylon would not edit out these photos, or re-shoot the section. The layout was rather uninspired and hard to read, with the tiny courier font descriptions of the people on the side so that you had to turn the book and squint to find out more. The only part I really enjoyed was the essays, typical of Nylon fare with good historical and cultural background. Save your money and subscribe to the magazine instead!! Their book "Beauty" is also worth a look. With luck they'll make another street style book with much better production value.

This book was poorly put together and the pictures involved in the book are pixelated.

Like others i thought this book would be interesting or fascinating but to my disgrace it was boring and a waste of money. Hate it would not recommend it.

i got it as a present for someone of my friends but ended up leaving it for myself. how mean. but i just loved it.
a nice book to look through again and again. the days you don't know what to wear, how to feel and just wanna change something. there is always some inspiration to get.
nice editors job.

the format is the almost the exact same as Fruits, but the fashion is less interesting. a lot of the outfits are somewhat boring and some of the photography is out of focus. some of the pictures are really good, though.
