Street Fashion: Market Style
We love Melbourne in the springtime! The sunshine and warm weather encourages the shedding of wooly layers allowing our true colours to emerge. And while this city offers a good number of vantage points we recently chose to observe the occurrence of this phenomenon from some of Melbourne’s finest outdoor second-hand and self-made markets where we were able to ogle weekenders on the hunt.
In amongst the wares up for sale we duly noted that indeed all manner of individual style was out in force and in a wide variety of shapes and saturated colours to boot.
Also of interest to us all was how the style changed as we moved from one market to the next. This was particularly evident in the ensembles of stallholders in the east who we found were a random pocket of fun their northern counterparts opting for more thought out (but just as delightful) looks. We think that this could be testament to the types of wares on sale from the random bits and bobs in the east to the creatives in the north trying to turn a hobby into just a little bit more.
We hope you enjoy the treasures we captured here pictorially and are proud to disclose that no friendly market attendee was harmed in the process of our work.
