Synopsis

Ask any designer, fashion editor, or art director where the hottest trends are coming from, and they'll tell you it's from the streets of certain cities. And if you ask them what magazine gives the best, most authoritative coverage of these outsider fashion incubators, chances are they'll say Nylon. Nylon here combines its street cred and international expertise (the magazine is read in major cities around the world, and has recently launched both Japanese and Australian editions) to reveal the iconic looks in the seven most fashion-forward cities today: London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, Melbourne, Copenhagen and New York. Led by acclaimed editor in chief Marvin Scott Jarrett, Nylon's editors, writers, and photographers cover these cities' trends with the same signature flair, enthusiasm, and eye for the cutting edge that has catapulted the magazine to the top of its demographic. Each chapter opens with an introduction describing the city's particular history, traits, and culture, followed by full-page pictures of each city's stylish residents, showing their creativity in full detail, from Tokyo's famous Goth Lolitas to Copenhagen's casual chic and everything in between. Quotes from each subject tell about who influences their personal style, what they love about their city, and their favorite local stores. Edgy, colorful, and fascinating to look at, Street is a chronicle of diverse urban style that you won't be able to put down.

Synopsis

Designers, photographers, and fashion editors all agree that the street is the cauldron of fashion inspiration. The clothes, the accessories, and the looks developed by (particularly young) people in different cities today is both an inspiration to the mainstream fashion world, and a phenomenon distinct to their environment. The book will be divided into five chapters, one chapter for each city (New York, Paris, London, Berlin, Tokyo Melbourne and Copenhagen). Each city chapter will begin with an introduction explaining the city's particular brew of geography, culture, and fashion. Then, a series of photographs of stylish young people in each city will follow. Each subject will respond to a series of questions (name, age, occupation, meaning of their look, and so on). The photographs are taken on-site, by Nylon's own photographers. The book will juxtapose the different looks of each city, in an exciting but timeless documentary style.
