clothes don’t make your identity... at least, yourself speaks about your clothes. people are a black coat, the same black bag... and...
words from the editor
“I smile at the idea you think you know me through what I’m wearing... My dress tells about me that I have good taste, or that my stylist has chosen well for me. It tells that I had a good purchase because in fact it is enchanting on me. Beyond appearances...Here I am. But that’s all folks”.
Holiday comes. Give a look around. Might be so surprised by the STYLE TRICKLE DOWN. WE ARE NOT ADVISOR. We are only REVEALER of the culture of costume, beyond fashion, look through garments. YOU CAN FIND WORLDS made of Aestherics that may sound odd or just distant from your way of “dressing up”, but... FIND the truth. And always ask yourself: WHAT IS FASHION ABOUT?
Cheers, Evan Editor In Chief.
model or student?

beyond my self
They ask us to be opinionless, they want us not so talkative, rarely witty and clever and barely cultured. I am fake because these guys from the mag imagined me wicked and bold, dramatic too. No garments can tell you what you are. No precious time expended thinking that when you wear something is for your mood or for what you feel: you wear clothes because you do appear and you have an image of yourself, projected onto something bigger, the others.
if you smile you’re not in fashion

i feel consumed by media but i am what i am, no conjectures
trickle down
i wear what i want. nobody can tell me how it’s... What happens when people see an outfit on the runaways, on the adv panels, in the magazines and then try and customise these messages onto their bodies? What can we expect from this phenomenon called “Fashion Trickle Down”? Of course, you don’t tell a book from its cover, but sometimes, above all, something deeper than coverage is found, something louder and definitely up close and personal: the choice.

peeper. From Milan to Tokyo, from Buenos Aires to New York from Paris to Amsterdam Streetpeeper catapults us into a highly original world: the Fashion, which is always in the street, perhaps to remind us that WE DO IT every day. It makes then possible to trace the brand of a leader who we loved in a photograph taken in London, or Boston, then can look in our country. It’s a real window on new trends, or, better yet, on how new trends are realized and take shape on the streets of world capitals.
