520 |a Since the early 20th century, city sidewalks have become runways where idiosyncratic modes of dressing are presented, consumed and exported. Their messages include resistance, solidarity, subversion, social transformation or musical affiliation, and a group of like-minded individuals can create a powerful sartorial force. Organized by continent and with 600 color images, The World Atlas of Street Fashion examines street style in all its global diversity. The book shows how Punk's generic language of anarchy is redeployed in London, Berlin, Tokyo or Jakarta and takes on the unique flavor of each. It also reveals how street style can be overtly political. The Sapeurs of Kinshasa use elegance to reframe themselves as gentlemen, and the cholo gangs of east Los Angeles took strength from the Chicano movement of the 1960s. Street style can also be obsessive, as seen here through the K-Pop enthusiasts of Seoul, who inhabit the lives of their music idols by re-creating publicity stills through elaborate cosplay. The author discusses how such scenes can develop cachet by being underground, fostering a look's distinctiveness and integrity. Through its extensive research, striking photography and handsome design, World Atlas of Street Fashion is the essential resource on world street style.
