Is this your tribe?

Ari Versluis and Ellie Uyttenbroek call their Project «Exactitudes» – a mix between the words «exact» and «attitude». they collect photos of people who dress the same, and group them into different "urban tribes". A great project, it just comes to show how people think they are very original in the way they dress, but accutally most people are stuck in some kind of urban sub-culture.




My little sister is definitly a "Fille de 7eme", like the girls you see above. Me, well, I didn't find my specific niche, but wierdly enough I recognise my style most in the Bu Ying! haha. Although I'm not Asian, and wear waaaay more scarfs than they do, I have tons of jackets and dresses like that. Anyways, me and an Katina share our closet anyways, so every laundry day I'm a Fille de 7eme. On a usual day I'm just a plain, old Hippie freakster. :-)



Well, Maybe it's not so suprising after all, I've been christmas shopping in Shanghai the past two years. So sad I didn't get to go this year. Stupid financial crisis.
