Product Description
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.

 It's "middle of the road" February 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I've noticed in other reviews people have taken up with the fact that its not like Fruits. I think that that is a good thing. It's got more "practical" style if you will. If you're looking to change up your own style a bit, this is much more helpful and inspirational. It's not just for admiring.
not legendary, but really good September 29, 2007

a nice book to look through again and again. the days you don't know what to wear, how to feel and just wanna change something. there is always some inspiration to get.
nice editors job.
 I would like to see fashion covered more like this.... April 12, 2007

These were attractive people on the street, not professional models (except one but it was just happenstance!) and the clothes they chose to wear that day. I like street fashion more than runway fashion. My only negative thought was that, while stylish, the outfits were very middle of the road. There were very few examples of anything remotely extreme like in Fruits. I would like to see more outrageous fashion, people whith character who are interesting regardless of age or size. I did really like this book and I see something new everytime I look through it.

I really liked this book. It reminded me of Fruits, but I liked this slightly more because it focused on different countries rather than just one country like Fruits did. Some people didn't really have intresting style, but not everyone does, and that also made me like it. The style wasn't to an extreme; there were cute, but simple outfits, too. I highly recommend this to any fashion lover.

the format is the almost the exact same as Fruits, but the fashion is less interesting. a lot of the outfits are somewhat boring and some of the photography is out of focus. some of the pictures are really good, though.
