Vintage Lass

a) This look is pretty self-explanatory, and carries a very in-the-closet vintage/granny throw-back. It has a very retro feel that looks as though she just saved her clothes from her heyday. I like how she caught my eye and was able to stand out amongst the throngs of people. This trend came from humble foundations of the past, that people have been able to replicate by shopping in vintage stores. Was never able to exchange names, but she was a very lovely lady. Thank you stranger!

b) Trickle across theory. 

c) Rejections. 

d) The type of consumer that would wear this would be those who don't care for current fashion and trends. The type of consumer who is courageous enough to walk around without giving the least bit of care if people thought he/she has zero fashion sense. 

I'm waiting for the man

This young man seemed extremely apprehensive to have his photo taken however finally gave way. Good karma shall come to you!

a) I find that this gentleman is donning a very Andy Warhol-esque style; very prominent in the New York art scene circa late 1960's to early 1970's. The band, The Strokes, seem to later have revived this style in the early 2000's and was referred to as "hipster" fashion.

b) He would fall into the Trickle Down theory, being influenced by those who came before him. Namely figures in the art scene.

c) An increase in population would best fit the category of this trend. It seems to be the staple for "fashionable gents" who we refer to as "metro". Its been around awhile, but people seem to be making the style into their own by either stripping down the accessories (ie. scarf) or jackets, and either replacing them with nothing else.

d) Consumers who would be influenced by this style are those who work in a business oriented field but on their days off; dress as such. Casual, laid back, but with a flare for fashion.
