SPRING/SUMMER 2012 STREET STYLE TRENDS SARAH MILLER
STREET STYLE The Streets of Atlanta Atlanta style seems to be driven by music, it’s southern heritage, weather, and the arts. Still a major train city, we can see the influence of grunge and street art as well as a down to earth blue collar style in many of the community neighborhoods. Some of the most interesting neighborhoods, each producing their own unique styles were: Inman park, Little 5 Points, East Atlanta Village, Northside, and Reynolds Town. The nightlife culture of the city revolves around Cuisine, music venues, coffee shops and art galleries. Since there is an abundance of thrift stores in and around the city many of the trends involved used clothing and vintage prints.
