GLOBAL STREET WEAR

St reetwear Nation What does streetwear mean to you?

A writer from Inverse Culture states, “Streetwear fashion is contemporary, usually casual clothing that is worn by urban youth subcultures. That definition is vague as streetwear is an all-encompassing umbrella of styles & themes - similar in vein as the hip-hop genre is to music”.

That being said, have you ever wondered how street style looks around the world? What are the cultural influences and similarities the street wear nation have in common?

In order to capture the art, fashion, lifestyle and the culture of streetwear we have partnered with photographers from around the globe to get their perspective on street wear through their images. From China, Tokyo, Europe and the U.S. we have you covered. .

FEATURED BRAND This months featured brand is the brainchild of 10 year old JJ Dickson from Houston, TX. The IF Legends (International Fashion) brand is comprised of collective ideas and thoughts that derived from the fashion legends and folklores.

Jeremy ‘JJ’ Dickson and his classmate, Christian Tan, from Wharton Elementary School in Houston, TX were charged with creating a business as a class project. Together they created a company called IF Gaming. IF Gaming was derived from their favorite game ROBLOX. The ‘I’ stands for Ice and ‘F’ is for Foudan which is Christian and Jeremy’s ROBLOX usernames, respectively.

JJ, his love for eclectic fashion and a little motivation from designer Travis Hamilton, has taken the name to further heights with IF Legends. The graffiti and abstract art pieces designed by JJ Dickson are street wear styles ready for any school year.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK TAKEON Founded in 2018 in Soho New York, TAKEON serves to create and bridge the gap between women’s wear and streetwear. Co-founders Chelsea Ma and Jessica Zhao strive to cross over quality, design and culture.

As female streetwear enthusiasts, Chelsea and Jessica noticed that there was something missing when it came to “streetwear” clothing for women. “I feel that women are often underrepresented when it comes to streetwear.

Streetwear culture can often become a boys club but I believe that girls can wear mens suits and guys can wear women’s cardigan if they choose to.” states Chelsea. Both co-founders work to pursue quality, integrity, and originality for women and men within the new world of fashion.

TAKEON currently sells in dozens of store world wide including Shanghai, New York, and Tokyo. Having completed 15 pop-ups in Soho New York, TAKEON continues to build a community centered brand that focuses on unisex and utility wear.
