yea that shit was funny, clothing issue was pretty good

[eastcoastrider27]

Pretty wack. I mean, I like to read Vice from time to time, but this shit is stale.

Everyone was a white hipster except for a few asians sprinkled in when neccesary.

This is pretty much "How to dress like a hipster/scenester in various places".

Stop resting on your laurels Vice and step your game up.

Vice is from Montréal but unless they're kidding they haven't been around lately. I just asume they are so that's allright.

Texts are funny though..

BOYS The ratio of really hot young females to males in Montreal is about 21362:1. So boys here can stand around with their close-cropped, messy hair, pubescent peach-fuzz face, and a little Quebecois tackiness and still get laid. Montreal guys balance out the thrift-store stuff like the cap/scarf one-piece and the DIY Montreal hippie-craft silk-screen t-shirt with some high-end European labels and local designer stuff, like a cardigan from Dubuc or a Philippe Starck watch. Jeans are slim-fit Scandinavian-style in darker tones. Boys don’t like spending too much on shoes because the Canadian winter conditions kill them. Big bags are essential for swapping your outside shoes for inside shoes when you arrive at a party. Yes, boys in Montreal really do that.

GIRLS For Montreal girls the tailored 60s ye-ye look is huge. Scarves are big, generally tried-and-true hand-me-downs from grandmothers who have survived previous Canadian winters. Plaid is pretty popular. Skirts are wool and high-waisted, and dark wool leggings are popular. Bags are big and bulky. Many are the patchwork-leather Quebec rock kind that still smell like their original 1980s chainsmoking, bingo-playing owner. Sweaters are puffy and sequined. Necklaces are often DIY, with girls breaking up old earrings and pendants and putting them on a chain. Hair and makeup are natural, and girls are more into eye makeup than lipstick. Bras are optional. Those who wear them go for vintage girlie ones from liquidation places like La Belle Renée.

Found this article pretty funny, especially the section on Spain. I'd like to read more about Amsterdam fashion, I didn't see many hipster kids during my stay there.

VICE mag's quality has dropped a lot in the last 2 years...

Funny though, I don't think I've seen a single person in melbourne dress like that?

And I know of only about two stockists for cheap monday in Melbourne?

[dumadiscount]

exactly... i see cheap monday get a lot of press in aus but i don't see anyone wearing it on the streets

[djrajio]

Tokyo disclaimer is somewhat true. But messenger bags?! What is this, a state school in the mid-west!? No one rocks messenger bags in Tokyo.

the shoes thing is so funny though, cause i have a couple friends who do that and i always argue with them how stupid it is to carry around a second pair of shoes just to wear inside...

[watchman]

i think the whole thing is pretty hilarious. It's funny to see caricatures of the trends and how they are in other countries, even if it is inaccurate

[superBobo]

the Stockholm one seems pretty correct, but its the real hipster style, not the normal person-on-the-street style (which looks exactly like the boring side of sufu actually, tight cardigan, tight jeans and cons)

[Vitamian]

I like the vaguely snarky commentary.
