Watch “Take My Picture” – A Film on Street Style Photography

Take My Picture is a short film, produced by Garage magazine, who’s original intention was to observe the fairly new phenomenon of fashion bloggers and street style stars. While filming the footage, “two salient trends” became apparent: fashion editors frustrated by the ensuing commotion outside of shows, and the rise of “peacocking” street style stars as a result of the proliferation of blogs. Take My Picture examines these themes from both perspectives.

Watch the fantastic short right now, above.
