5/9/11 SURFER FASHION: A TRIBUTE
Gillian Zinser
In New York, where we are constantly so concerned with being thoroughly buckled, zipped, and corseted into our spandex and denim and leather , why can't we, wait what's the terminology they use over there on the opposite side of the nation? Ah yes, "hang loose." The other day, I saw a girl wearing a string hair wrap, and was instantly inspired. My fellow Manhattanites might say tacky, overpriced mark of a 3-day Miami vacation. I say inspired, sartorial choice worthy of great admiration. The girl who wears a string bikini, cutoff jeans, and Birks will undoubtedly attract attention in New York. When everyone else is angstily foot-tapping in the out-the-door line at Starbucks, she's the one who waltzes in and is immediately handed a complimentary frappucino. While we're packed into sweaty subway cars, she carelessly breezes down Broadway on her longboard.
So what say you? You run the risk of looking out of town, but I say we bleach out our blacks, cutoff our skinny jeans, and join this wild girl for a summer!
