I read through this, and I feel oh-so-boring

What inspires me:

film noir

The 30's style

Soccer-MILF

My glasses

The engine laying in pieces in my garage

I guess you could say I try to combine bits of industrial with girly glamour & my nerdiness?

yeah Larry Clark's films/photos are an inspiration to me as well.

When you say "Undercover," do you mean Jun Takahashi's brand or the concept of people going undercover as cops/gang members? The latter appeals to me as an inspiration...imagine a dude patrolling around the streets feelin beat and mentally exhausted, but he looks cool as shit in that jacket haha

On that note, paranoia also inspires me. As well as Serge Gainsbourg, gotta love dude telling Whitney Houston he wants to fuck her on that televised interview.

Hahaha that cracks me up Fade. Well I meant Undercover Japan... esp the Fall 05 collection. That cop thing sounds interesting nonetheless. I know what you mean, maybe like some of Tarantino's films.

many things, stuff i see in magazines, carl barat, j depp etc, saw infernal affairs the other day, wouldnt mind looking like the gangsta mole, arm in cast, leather, black v neck tee, jeans, way cool. Shame i am burdened with light brown hair. I like japanese street culture stuff ( like how milspex looks basically) , dunks jeans etc stussy but also traditional english stuff, cords, velvet barbour etc.

Im looking forward to the winter because of wearing hand knit mittens and stuff with a swedish look, skinny jeans etc.

I'd love to say my own imagination, but I'm not confident enough to wear the stuff I really want to. I can't really think of many things right now. Superfuture is pretty high up on the list, I don't read magazines so this is my only connection to (alternative?) popular fashion... other than TV I guess.
