Welcome! If you are reading this, then my dream to post photo-documentation of global clothing and fashion may not be entirely futile. I would say I am an official member of the fashion industry, having spent years studying and working in design and living in the world fashion capital, New York City. Learning about people and their culture have always interested me so how can I not want to cross-inspect this with fashion?
As much as I love foreign fashion magazines and the great snapshots of "The Sartorialist", I do not only want to know that this season's Prada is indeed being worn by Brazilian, Japanese, and Italian socialites as well as by my city sisters on Park Avenue. On the other hand, researching about more indigenous, local, and popular fashion and costume should not only lead you to an old library book, last published in the Seventies. Clothes say much about someone's identity as, usually, it is the product of environment, activity, and personality.
So I will dare to pause in my bubble of the very fashionable Big Apple to learn more about the wearing and making of clothes on a global scale. Sometimes the fashion of a place may be defined by its absolute lack of so-called fashion at all! Everyone has to wear clothes and though you and I may not always like what they are wearing, a good journalist records all.
