" Perth fashion is eclectic, inspiring, original, there’s definitely something to be said about living in one the world’s most isolated cities and what it brings out creatively."
" Perth fashion is Like a poem I can’t remember, a song that may never have existed and a place I’m not sure I’ve ever been to"
" Perth fashion is whatever you want it to be. It doesn’t matter how much or how little you pay, as long as it is fun!"
" Perth fashion isn’t half as bad as some people think it is. It has its good and its bad, just like every other city in the world!"
" Perth fashion is in need of more flurotrash."

Yes! those are the answers from many sources about perth fashion. Since im currently doing vacation here i will write review about Perth Fashion. Well for me Perth fashion is something beyond fashion itself. They dressed up like there is no season, no brands and no boundaries. "WOW" was my first word when i met fashion junkies on perth. Compare to Jakarta i think Perth fashion is more sleek and neat but yet still creative. Perth fashion is different from Melbourne fashion which is look alike Jakarta fashion. Lots of people underestimate Perth fashion, well i think you all should try how cool Perth fashion is. Pictures bellow are my favorite Perth's street style. They all look fabulous aren't they?

Boys Fashion

It took awhile to evolve but menswear has finally taken a step to the foreground in fashion. Blame metrosexuals. But everyone does like a well dressed boy, a cool guy with style. Such as the one above.
Here are some looks to love from Fall 2007 Menswear lines. Inform your boyfriends.
Alessandro Dell'Acqua

I love how tailored these looks are, and because they are classic formal looks, any guy can look good in them. Thin pants but not skinny jeans, worn low but not falling off. It can also be made a bit more casual with a decent sneaker, such as in Lanvin, & Alessandro Dell' Acqua. My suggestion: converse. All black converse, or black and white, such as these:


I love the masculine clean cut look, so I never thought I'd be into the whole 'man purse' thing. After all how much do they really need to carry? Wallet? Cell phone? But the two worked hand in hand to create some of my favourite outfits in the Dolce & Gabbana line:


Men are also rockin wide leg trousers on the runway ( Yves Saint Laurent):


Things to know about men's fashion:
- the model's are hot! Though some may be thinner than you are.
- the looks are similar
- street wear does not exist
- you may be appaled by the creations from your favourite designers for their men's lines
- just because it is a male designer doesn't mean their collection will be good

DO wear fake fur around the collar
DON'T don full fur coat a la Andre Leon Tally. Especially one with short sleeves, pants and shoes of the same colour, and buggy sunglasses.

DO experiment with colours, prints and shapesDON'T wear clashing colours, prints and shapes all the same time

DO layer
DON'T look homeless

DO wear dark denim
DO wear light denim
DON'T try to pass off the jeans you accidentally added bleach too as wearable
DON'T wear tie dye!
(I'm sure guys don't anyways, but I thought I'd throw that in there as well)

And to end it off with my favourite men's collection! Etro!
It's nerdy done right! So cute!
