From the outside by NG: Street style: the democratization of fashion

I have only been here on planet earth for 16 years, and interested in the fashion industry since i was about 14; here in latin america some say that ignorance is rude, so forgive my security when i speak of ideas that may only make sense to me...

Now picking up on the first idea, i have been cultivating my brain for a really short time, but i know my history, and i know for example that fashion was limited to aristocrats, leaders, queens and even kings(louis the XIV, the inventor of high heels), movie stars and musicians until lets say 50 years ago; lucky me i was born in the new era, women, and men, have now ditched the old rules and have imposed (thanks God!) capitalism and the rights to equal opportunities, at least in the western world, for men, women, poor, any kind of race...

I know, i know... right now you might think i'm totally wrong, fashion is still for the rich, or the spendaholics, but i look at the glass half full, yes, it is hard to get, but thats what makes it attractive (apart from the design quality and craftsmanship), and if you work hard enough, maybe some day you'll get to own them.

Now, this idea is represented in fashion weeks all over the world, by YES! street style(my favorite part of fashion). Why? well to me it is easy to explain, it is fashion walked in the streets you and me can walk through, fashion bought by individuals, and by people that have worked sweat and tears for it, they are not queens and kings, they are CEOs, bloggers, buyers... they don't only go to the défilés to have fun, they go to work for the clothes they'll wear to the next fashion week, you may think it all doesn't make sense, but to me it would make a perfect life...
