Brighton Boys

"Look! up there! It's Ty Page". No it isn't. You're just saying that to distract me from my focus on documenting yet another fine example of the Twinning thing that you seem to be executing oh so well. For me it is your dual endorsement of the slimline 70s skateboard that takes your particular take on Twinning to the next level. Two trends in one... BLAM BLAM. Twinning and Ty Page. Look out for these in 2009.

Twin Set

Two prime first hand yet polar opposite examples of the Twinning code of attire. One clearly mutually appreciated. The other case seems to stem from a dictatorial background. Firstly, why do dads do that? Or are mothers to blame? This is just wrong and ridiculously effortsome. I mean, where oh where do they sell the same garments in everysize from toddler to extra sizeable male? I have yet to encounter such a store. Besides, it's cute for about a nano-second, then you're left with this feeling, like, "poor bastard. How long will that carry-on?".

The second example is likely to become increasingly present on streets around the globe as we see teens giving in to the fact that it is ever so hard to distinguish oneself and actually, realising that, looking identical is a much more impactful feat worthy of a double-take count many times greater than that of any BAPE all-over print hoodie. Rather than risk the embarrassment of turning up to group night out where two of your buds happen to have gotten the same American Apparel hoodie for xmas and appear to be wearing it with pride, why not go the whole hog and orchestrate the impact. I like that "Orchestrate the impact". Anyway, there you have it; Twinning.

Mind your T's & P's

The right man for the job. Nuff said.

"To the batmobile. Let's go!"

How to look scary in broad daylight; get yourself some body armour. Although designed for the motor biker, this sh#t puts you on a par with Batman, bringing a superhero aesthetic to any mortal human silhouette.

Miss Match

A simple lesson in the subtle art of 'same-same but different'

Mindies Got Luv 4 Fiddy

I wished I'd asked her about this friggin T-shirt. Can't get my head round whether it could be 100% real love for the big guy or just some ironic statement. Either way, it's a look, Non?!

"What BY-ATCH?!"

What a little styler. Fresh to def. Kitted out proper for his Sunday afternoon date.
Sneaker tongues out - CHECK. Thumb in belt pose - CHECK. Backpack with nothing in - CHECK.

Stunners'N'Stripes

Portable Venetian blinds! Who would have thought. Reminds me of a joke;
Q.How do you make a Venetian blind?
A.Poke him in the eye.

Beanie Man

About 2 minutes ago it was only Asian kids who wore their beanies like this, but now the JD Sport consumer owns this shit. Check it out. This wasn't even Capital City cock walking with his pals, this was Camber Sands on a sunday afternoon in perfect Cream Tea weather. We're talking tumble weed town. Things spread fast these days, there's just no denying it, but whether there's room in the current spectrum of fashion stories for the 'blind little busker boy' look, I couldn't say.

Whole lotta sock!

A little while back I mentioned the evident resurgence of the 'pin-roll' technique of styling one's slacks. I'm still seeing it and it seems more of a sneakerhead thing; a styling tool to accentuate the aesthetic of those prized vintage Mowabs, or maybe they are the re-pros, who cares, they're sweet, and your proud of them! However, something else seems to have popped up on the radar. Too lazy to bother with the technicalities of perfecting the pin-roll, or failing to source the knowledge of how-to, the sock-tuck has surfaced as a stronger contender as the more readily adoptable hem styling option amongst the yoof. This could be the secondwind of nordic invasions. It seems to have gathered most strength amongst Scandiweigens (and Sunday League goalkeepers)who are deploying it under the guise of city break touristic teen groups. All eyes on Oxford Street for the rise of the sock line!

Hey little Carnival lady

Speaks for it's self really. This little lady was propping up the railings at this years Notting Hill Carnival. Just one of many shots that represent the true identity of what carnival is to the youth... flossing time! The modern day equivalent to the 'sunday best' comes out of the wardrobe, as all the hyper yoots strive for attention.
