Full suit

This "full suit" was taken amidst old and abandoned warehouses at Clarke Quay in Singapore. This was during the 1980s, before the area was re-developed into a food and entertainment district that holds, amongst others, the Ministry of Sound (MOS) disco.

I was struck by the fact that the clothing represented all that a man needed to wear.

More than that, it was the only sign of life in an otherwise abandoned area. I suspect the clothes belonged to a vagrant who squatted there.

    Thank you!!!
    Really your pict has a very similar concept than "patio interior". On my point of view "street fashion" is not how people wears... is how the street wears ;) Ist´n about clothes, is about buildings and how it could change yours mood, yours day by day. "Vida cotidiana" has more explicity this idea than the another one. It was taken in istanbul... but it was could take in New York, Sao Paulo, etc.
    Anyway thanks again for the comment =)

    Ah! Diogo.
    Now I understand your point of view. Your interpretation is very interesting and creative.
    But almost every else, I believe including the publishers, interpret "Street fashion" = what people wear on the street.
