Focus on Street Style
"People dress differently in New York and
Paris," says Scott Schuman, who writes a blog
about fashion. People in cities around the
world pay attention to their clothes, and
5 they work hard to look beautiful. They use
their culture and the materials around them
to create their own look.
Schuman started his blog to "simply share
photos of people that I saw on the streets
10 of New York." He thought the people looked
fashionable, and he put photos on line.
Schuman isn't alone. Bloggers all around
the world are using their cameras to report
what is happening in their home cities. Since
15 bloggers find and write about stylish people
on the street, this type of fashion is called street style.
Fashion changes often. With the Internet,
street style changes even more quickly.
Bloggers only need minutes to snap a
20 picture and post it online. Their readers
can use those ideas to create their own
styles. Fashion used to come from the
runways of Paris and Milan. Now fashion
is homegrown.
