FRUiTS

Ever since I was younger, I’ve had this strange fascination with Japanese fashion. Whether it be completely out there and J-rock (hey, that was a long time ago!) or completely elegant and Kabuki, I’ve always understood the Japanese nation to be incredibly creative and fashion-savvy in every setting and context.


One of my favorites is the Japanese fashion bible, FRUiTS, which features some of the best creative self-stylers from the heart of Harajuku and beyond. The street style mag is easily attainable at any Japanese bookstore, but ever since I moved to Davis to pursue my studies I’ve had to go without.  And that was that.
However, just up until a few minutes ago I stumbled upon a FRUiTS blog on Tumblr! Could it be?
Could I finally enjoy the uber-juicy Fruits once again?  Yes, and so can you! A few of my favorite looks--

































































かわいいね～！


If you're new to Japanese street fashion, I'd also highly recommend checking out Gothic & Lolita Bible created by none other than J-Rock God/dess, Mana. Like FRUiTs, Gothic & Lolita Bible shows Victorian-inspired Lolita looks ranging from classic and sweet to gothic and punk. Available in Japanese and now English (as of 2008), it also features some great DIY projects and some interesting articles.   


Unique in everyway, Japanese subculture fashion is always spot on.

STYLE SPOTTER, WHOLE EARTH FESTIVAL 2011

Here are some toasty-warm, fully-clothed hippies that stood out this year.  (No scantily dressed or alcohol impaired were harmed in the making of this album.)  The theme is not "what is soon to be hip," but rather "what out-there styles can one get away with during this zany Davis tradition?"

BIKE CHAIN BELT

"sw8 fixxy"  (http://prollyisnotprobably.com/)


The frame-set as pictured costs about $850 retail.  It is no wonder that when Scott Schuman of The Sartorialist saw a bike messenger riding it in NYC he also saw a hefty bike lock around his waist.  Here is what Scott posted last week and his comments:


 
Whenever I see these bike messengers with their big bike chain wrapped around their waist I always think about Karl and Chanel. I keep waiting for the day I see Chanel models racing down the runway sporting heavy chain belts with leather threaded through - a thicker version of a Chanel bag's chain. This messenger's look is just begging to be Karlized.

I know he has Chanelled other sports but has Karl ever interpreted bike messengers? Just imagine all that gear (high-heeled biking shoes as showcased earlier today) with the Double C logo. --The Sartorialist (http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/)
Now, I actually missed his post and only read it after Bike Snob NYC cried of the lunacy in divorcing purpose from style on his cynical bike blog:
Speaking of new trends, yesterday I mentioned that bike lock you wear like a belt, and subsequently many people have informed me that fashion blogger The Senatorialist or whatever he's called has identified the waist-borne bike lock as being ripe for haute couture appropriation by Karl Lagerfeld...The rider pictured is of course local messenger, bike racer, and Red Hook Criterium winner Daniel Chabanov...There's something perverse about divorcing certain items from their context and then turning them into fashion accessories, especially when you consider the reasons people use these items in the first place. For example, no cyclist wants to carry a gigantic chain, it's just that we're forced to because if we don't then our bikes will get stolen...--Bike Snob NYC (http://bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/)
I understand the Bike Snob's sentiment--who would wear a 15 pound lock if they didn't need to lock their bike up?!  Still, I feel he grossly underestimates the power of good design in the interplay of form and function.  What do you think?  Should bike messengers be Karlized?  Is focusing on "bike fashion" off the streets perverse?  Let us know in the comments section!

STYLE SPOTTER, APRIL 21ST

This is Davis:  Look at her glasses, her trench for layering, her delicate but practical flats, her bike!  Everything about this girl screams UCD style. My photographer, Evelyn Santillan, and I spotted her leaving class in Kleiber and heading for a well deserved break.





Meanwhile, these two were pretending to study in quad:


 


It is always fun to see pairs of stylish friends together, but the following two girls amazed me with their entirely different takes on casual skinny jeans:





I like how this girl struck the perfect balance flirting with a sheer top while still dressing conservatively enough for office hours:





Stay tuned for more fashionable UCD students!

ON TREND

As the weather in Davis begins to warm up, we can't seem to shake the winter wind. Everyone is dying to wear their new shorts from Forever 21, but most days it seems too chilly to pull it off. Well here is a perfect remedy for your spring wardrobe! The shorts and a blazer combo. Stars and New Yorkers alike are loving this trend right now and I foresee Davisites loving it too!

STYLE SPOTTER, APRIL 11TH

On March 31st, Ivette Uy (of daintiness) and I, went on a style spotting photo hunt.  Here is the well-dressed game:


 


We found this statistics major reading outside of Shields Library.  His whole ensemble is great, but his leather backpack that he bought on Ebay was what first caught our eye.  Here you can see some detail:





Later on we spotted this girl with her matching dress and flats.  She looks comfortably ready for spring while saying goodbye to winter with cool blues.  Unfortunately for UC Davis, she was only visiting.





Last but not least there was this girl with her cute pastel pink moccasins outside of the death star:





Stay tuned for more fashionable Davisites!

WHAT TO WEAR: OFFICE CHIC

As college students, our foray into the world of full-time work will (hopefully) come sooner or later. This means that our day-to-day uniform of jeans and a tee are no longer applicable and a more sophisticated wardrobe is necessary. Since I recently landed my first 9 to 5 office job for the upcoming summer, I've been daunted by the task of creating a look that is less casual and more conservative while still adhering to my personal sense of style. The images I've been gravitating towards are definitely more polished: longer hemlines, impeccably tailored trousers, structured silhouettes, and muted palettes. However, the appeal is in the brilliant pops of color in unexpected places, the messy updos, the play on different textures and prints, and the strong accessories that offset the somewhat banal look that is often associated with office wear. I can't wait to get my hands on some mid-calf pleated skirts, school-boy blazers, camel accessories, and leg-lengthening trousers. In the meantime, here are some images currently inspiring me.


Mary Kate Steinmiller, fashion market editor of Teen Vogue, looking chic and workplace appropriate in her printed skirt: The pop of color underneath neutral basics adds interest:The undone hair and bright coral lips from J. Crew's Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear line are a perfect juxtaposition to the clean lines and overall crispness:



The structured satchel and heels on this model add class to her more casual ensemble:

Leigh Lezark looking uber glamorous, as usual:

Olivia Palermo's silk tie blouse and camel accessories are sophisticated and chic:

KEEP YOUR EYE OUT FOR THE COPS

Oscar art in LA







Street art is know as the hybrid form of graffiti using mediums such as stickers, stencils, posters, paint and sculptures. It is considered one of the biggest counter cultural movement since punk and is often done secretly at night, due to its illegal nature. Exit Through the Gift Shop follows an eccentric shop-keeper turned amateur film-maker, Thierry Guetta, as he attempts to document the birth of the street art movement and capture many of the world's most infamous vandals on camera. Along the way, Guetta crosses paths with the notoriously secretive street artist, Bansky, who ends up turning the camcorder back on the Frenchman with wildly unexpected results.







Some of Bansky's street art



Some critics have concerns over the authenticity of the documentary, but others believe that Oscar nominated documentary is the "first Oscar-related publicity to actually extend the concerns, and deepen the mystery, of the movie it's intended to promote." In the weeks leading up the awards, Banksy's somewhat controversial and industrial art has been popping up all over Los Angeles, which has given a lot of hype to his nominated film.
