Lookbook.nu

November 5th, 2009

I like it and don’t at the same time. On the one hand: Yes, it’s great to see how different people dress themselves, their different styles, individual tastes etc. You can find truly beautiful things there to admire: secondhand clothes, vintage pieces that don’t make it into the public life via any other medium but the internet.

On the other hand, some people are really toiling to be the most unique person out there, but somehow the more they try the less they achieve. Most of the over-the-top outfits kind of melt into one big alternative type of conformism.

Although I am not implying that I am not vain myself (everybody is), I have to admit the vanity fair of lookbook.nu tends to give me a headache after 15 minutes of being on the site.

I do love the amateur photography side of it all, though. It’s fresh.
