Fashion is fleeting. The moment you think you’ve got it, it flashes by. Therefore from today on we follow flashy passersby at their heels for five minutes to find out where they shopped, how much their clothes cost and ask them five quick questions about styling. No particular scheme. No particular price range. No particular beauty standards. Just a style that for any reason caught our eye.
TODAY:
Lelise, 25, mother of a six-year-old
Coat: 40 $, from Burlington Coat Factory
Shoes: 20 $ from a store she accidentally walked in
Scarf: from a market in Ethiopia, Lelise’s home country
T-Shirt: her boyfriend’s
Pants: so old she can’t remember neither the prize nor the brand
BYT: How much time do you need to get ready? Two hours if I dress up for clubbing, 10 minutes on a regular day. Today: two minutes. I didn’t even have time for make-up.”
BYT: How much money do your usually spend on clothes per month?
“Hardly 50 Dollars. I’m raising a six years old daughter, she eats up the most of the budget.”
What was the purchase you regretted the most? “A Dolce&Gabbana perfume set I absolutely didn’t need. It messed up my finances for the entire month.”
How would your describe your style? “Chilled and sexy. But you really can’t tell. Every day and every outfit has a different message.”
What’s the today’s message? “I’m in rush.”
Is she holding her daughter hostage on that leash? o_O
