Many of these women have been discovered by the author Ari Seth Cohen, who has captured many of these lovely people who find such joy in creating their style every morning
And it’s not just women either, men are also in on this “creative and avant guard way of dressing. It took this many a couple of days to make these pants by himself. Looking at all the zippers and loose ends, you can tell it took many hours to create these unusual pant.s
Obviously, talking with the people who take the time, effort and love to dress in such elaborate and creative ways, is very interesting. Many of them have been dressing this way for many many years and it is not just some new trend for them.

Besides, who wants to talk when you can have so much fun just looking at each well thought out accessory or strand of hair.
