Seattle may be known for it’s coffee drinkers, techies and 90’s grunge bands but there’s no denying Seattle natives aren’t exactly what the rest of the country would call, fashion forward. What people here don’t seem to grasp is that fashion isn’t about how much money you do or do not spend on the clothes you present yourself in, it encompasses so much more; glamour, beauty, style. It’s a culture that manifests a collective art of our peoples’ current expression.

My gripe here is the boys and girls that think their Affliction tees, $300 designer jeans and token Louis purse warrant some sort of fashionisto/fahionista recognition. Don’t get it twisted, your cookie cutter image is not only easily replicable, it’s more than likely 3 seasons old.

C’mon Seattle, you can do better than that.
