I live and work in London. The majority of people I pass (between the ages of 16-35) in the street can be easily pidgeon-holed as a fashion sterotype. This can be anything, including the Art-Student look, the indie-kid scruffy hair and tight trousers look, the boy-band highlights-in-the-hair look, the stereotypical gay look (neatly shaved beard) and the hip-hop look, but to name a few. I think these people dress this way in order to stand out from the crowd, but it seems to me they all look like clones of one another. I fear that as time passes, everyone will bow down to the pressure of the fashion industry and dress like one another. It seems people dress according to their tastes in music, but why? I like all sorts of music, but have never felt the urge to dress to fit in with a crowd. I dress how I want to and let my personality express how I am. Why can't people think for themselves and dress how THEY want to, not how their peers want them to. What happened to originality?
