Brooklyn Street Style: The No-Rules Guide To Fashion Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Brooklyn style is eclectic, creative, and distinct from neighborhood to neighborhood. It’s not about chasing labels. It is stylish on its own terms, and it’s about dressing for real life. Brooklyn Street Style: The No-Rules Guide to Fashion explores what has made the borough a global fashion mecca and presents style advice from a host of Brooklyn tastemakers. This diverse crew of notable women in the design, fashion, food, and entertainment worlds includes style expert Mary Alice Stephenson, Girls costume designer Jenn Rogien, Urban Bush Babes blogger Cipriana Quann, Sleigh Bells’s singer/beauty-industry activist Alexis Krauss, and award-winning actor/playwright Eisa Davis. Chapters distill what’s happening in the borough today—from the maker movement to eco-conscious fashion—with more than 175 striking street-style photographs. Full of suggestions for both visitors and locals alike, the book’s Brooklyn Guide offers a curated listing of the essential shops, markets, restaurants, and bars.

Oh my!!!!! What a fantastic, fabulous, wonderful, inspirational book - except it's impossible to read! You read a captivating sentence or two then get seduced by a photo, then lured away by a reference, then page forward like a demon to find inspiration for your outfit for the day, then lose your place, then run to evaluate your own closet ... It's like a huge big bag of sweeties, you can't stop at just one. I must have 'read' it at least four times since buying it - but I don't actually think I've actually read a chapter (or even two pages) properly. It's witty, sparkling, insightful, beautifully written - so much care, thought and passion obviously went into the writing of it - GOOD JOB authors! - and, of course, the fashion is just amazing. I sooooo want to live in Brooklyn, and I want to dress/look/be like so many of the women in this book, and I'm really, really, really going to break out Brooklyn-style in my own life and wardrobe (even though I live on the other side of the world!) My favourite, favourite, FAVOURITE street style/fashionista book. 10 stars if not 15.
I really enjoyed this book. The styles are fresh and comfortable and the stories are interesting. The only problem I had was that there was only one picture, at the very end of the book, of an older woman. I feel that the book is definitely geared toward very young women (with a an older artist or two thrown in for good measure). For me, the book would have been much more interesting if the people in it were different ages and even body types.
I love this book....great fashion, wonderfully written and perfect photos...and of course Brooklyn!!!
A great read and a great reference, one that I will return to often. Thank you to the authors for sharing the stories beautiful real women and for the hundreds of sources shared in the guide.
Thank you!
