    • SXSW 2009 – The Skinny…It’s Not So Bad After All

    Posted on | March 27, 2009 | 2 Comments

    It seems like the Hipsters hit SXSW Music en masse this year: no matter which show you went to, you were drowned in hordes of twiggy men sporting preciously-mussed coifs, cleavage-accentuating v-neck tees, low-rise kicks, and skinny jeans. Miles upon miles of skinny jeans. Forget “junk in the trunk” – when did it become fashionable to show off the junk under your hood?

    As we trooped off to various events at SXSW, Matthew – a vintage/retro slacks man – couldn’t take it anymore: sick of the sea of skinny, he ranted to Ned, Annelies, and anyone else within earshot about how much he hated skinny jeans. In response, we scanned the crowds and pointed out the much less appealing alternatives. (As Ned eloquently put it, “There’s a whole lot of unattractive walking around.”) This diversion turned into a week-long mission to highlight really poor wardrobe choices that show “Why You Shouldn’t Hate on Skinny Jeans.” Here are some of The Best of The Worst…keep an eye out for Lennie the Bunnyman:

      Well done and quite funny ! Bunny man wold be scary to run into at night .
      But hey Grace, what fashion statement did you boast ? How about about a SXSW fashion redo for you and your friends ? Could be quite comical …

      There are just so many things wrong with the fashion decisions in both the skinny jeans and worse than… presentations. Thanks for being such a capable sxsw partner and for taking the time to shoot all these retina burning images.
