Merry happy whatevs, and all o’that, to all of you, wherever you happen to be for winter break.
Personally, I trotted vertically down to Buenos Aires, Argentina, where my family resides.
Fashion here thrives and pulses and vibrates and sometimes looks a lot like weird-y Euroflash and early ’90s Americana in a sexy blender. And how could you not want to safely sample some of that?
I’m thinking of breaking this all up into a number of posts.
I present to you day one of Street Style exploration, conducted downtown in Palermo:
This girl was wearing what amounted to Hammer (sweat) pants. I kept after her but still couldn’t quite capture it, so you’ll have to trust me.
This lady rolled her eyes at me until she heard the words “newspaper blog,” which was funny. Requesting fashion photographs in another language and in another hemisphere is a whole new game unto itself.

She was preparing to set up shop on some street corner, and the only sense in which I mean that is the shirts-and-not-sex-business sense.
The hair of the girl on the right is reflective of general young women’s hair trends. Long, layered, and accompanied by sideswept bangs. Oftentimes it is cut to end in a diamond-y point in the back.
How old is this girl, five? She, too, reflects a lot of basic trends: skinny jeans (or are they leggings?) and Converse-looking things. Sometimes they’re converse, other times they’re top-quality wish-they-weres.
Bunch of Swedes. I like his sideburns and jacket.
They were from Australia and ended up being my favorites. Ray-ban Wayfarers, adorable stripe-y tank top, etc. Precious.
These two were kind of in the way of what I was trying to photograph, which is an example of a typical open-air youthful design mart thinger.
