 Atlanta Georgia:
At my school, vintage is very in. Skirts below the knee, 70's shirts, 40's handbags, old tight boot-cut or flared pants.

Fashions of a Demented New Yorker (as she put it herself!)

Personally, I prefer the vintage shops, consignment, Salvation Army, and the like. The more outdated, the better. Usually I dont like anything newer than the 19th century, and I adore corsets. Though I have begun to buy from as late as the 1940s. I prefer black or dark shades of red or green. As a seamstress, if it's out of my budget, I can make it for considerably less. As to shoes, I have pretty much any possible variety, from beat-up combat boots to very formal dancing shoes and sandals. My favorite look(at this moment) is a black taffeta dress, the skikt to mid calf, with combats and a biker leather that my husband gave me. My hair is dyed burgundy, which I suppose is the fad now, because now I see every one with it. Or the other favorite is a dark blue satin gown in a 12th or13th century style with silver trim, with very pointed black patent leather shoes and a little silver dragon that sits on my shoulder. Being 19 and no longer in school, I can usually get away with this, as the people I hang out with dress similarly.

New York City fashion is extremely varied but the one thing that's common among everystyle - black. New Yorker's love to wear black. NYC club kids have a style of their own, anything goes and the more outragous, the better. Ru Paul for example started his career by being a club kid. Progect X is a club kidmagazine for anyone that's interested. But I must say that London fashion takes the cake.

Malta: My idea of fashion may not always be what the media feeds us with, but I do get ideas from the high street. I sometimes wear clothes i design myself...mostly 70's retro/80's mod chique, using fabbrics such as black chiffon, satin, striped ties and shirts, together with sneekers (adidas mainly). Or bohemian, gypsy earrings indian scarfes worn with leather boots or Indian shoes, or leather heels (I do love miss Self. and Top Shop).:P What is fashion but a statement afterall? As lead vocalist in an indie band i don't bother much with people fashion, but with mine. heh.Fashion is sound, colour, intensity. I Choose white and black. They speak for themselves.Renaissance and new romantics-inspired clothing, touch of india. definitely huge flairs..brown trousers, dirty denim.I revert to my mother's old wardrobe for coats, uniforms (she's got some exclusive stuff no one makes anymore. I love the uniform.Heavy black eyeliner. No mascara. The most fashionable number may once have been (studio)54, but now it's 666 or 69. Wahahahaha.Music is expression. Expression is art. Art is fashion. Careful what u're listening to. :p

 Hey I have a very "original" style and people are always trying to lable me and then I see them the next day with something completly different. For example people have called me Punk and people have called me Preppy. I live in New York City and love to go shopping, I always have trouble finding pants long enough because my inseam is atleast a 34. i figured a way to to cut a pair of short pants off right above the knee, then i take fabric wide enough to fit around my leg and i unevenly sew it to the pants, covering the knee. Then i sew the rest of the pants to the bottom of the fabric. St marks place is a great place to shop in the city and so i soho anywhere. things are a little pricey though.
