The internet is the best tool ever invented for the inquisitive (nosy) among us. Where else can you browse through the drawers of the rich and famous or check out a designer's wardrobe at the click of a button?
Stylelikeu is a website which takes a mix of people, from 'it' girls to rappers to bloggers to people living in a teepee in their friends' back garden with reeeeeeally interesting dress sense and analyses their style through a video lens. They go round to the houses (or tents) of these creative dressers to see them rifling through their closets, talking about their dress sense, and generally showing off their quirky selves.
(The teepee couple. I'm seeing a trend for round sunglasses on this blog. I think I like them.)
It's kind of like an underground version of Cribs for those of us who are obsessed with style.
It's also an anthropological study into fashion tribes. The videographers explore where the sense of the person's style came from, and it can often be connected to where they grew up, and who they grew up around. For example there's one American girl who grew up in Tokyo, who has a clear Harajuku influence in her style, even though she hasn't lived there for years.
One of the vids is of Uffie (above). If I had to summarise her I'd say she was an authentic and far superior version of the vile Ke$ha. Even bringing Ke$ha into the equation kind of undermines Uffie, but if you listen to the track I've posted below this video you'll see why I had to make the comparison.
The pink ombre hair, the chipped nail varnish, the quote on her style, 'it changes daily, sometimes it looks like I could be homeless, sometimes I wear really pretty clothes.'
Girl after my own heart. If I was a super cool female rapper who lived in Paris and had an tres amazing figure, then I'd totally be Uffie.
