Street Styles: Los Angeles: Melrose

re-size
This pod takes a look at the threads hanging around Melrose Avenue, a well know fashion hub for Los Angeles natives and tourists alike. The fashion district along Melrose Avenue, commonly referred to as "Melrose" spans over thirty blocks, and takes on different shapes as you travel down it. West Melrose is for the upper elite, looking to score the newest designer threads or some minimalist furniture. East Melrose is strictly for the youth and forever young crowd. That's where we landed for this pod, and we found some typical cool kids hanging around Melrose, on a Sunday afternoon no less!

The fashion we came across is practical...realistic. Comfy chic. This Street Styles pod is definitely more about what real people wear, rather than what's wearing them.

And remember, style is subjective so opinions welcome...just give us a green light if you think the video works well (which means you don't have to like everyone's choice of "style").

    nice effects, but there is nothing stylish about any of these outfits.

    idk, littlesparrow. i was into my friend israel's fit...

    but yeah. The shops on melrose are pretty abysmal in my humble (but fabulous) opinion.

    Fashion clips are cool. If it's any consolation after what littlesparrow said, Americans are some of the worse dressed in the world.
    or at least thats what the rest of the world says.
    But good pod.

    The media puts this idea out that Melrose/Hollywood is this ritzy place and everyone is dressed to the 9's and perfectly when in reality the people are just everyday people living a real life. Thanks for the reality!!!! LOVE IT!

    Hey everyone, thanks for the positive feedback. Also, thanks to coolassmiles for giving me a link to audio help in reducing the background noise. I'm going to work on this tomorrow, and upload a newer better version (at least where sound is concerned).

    Also, I've got my eye out for a cheap lav...lol.

    I like how natural the people you interviewed were. Shots look great, and a nice running time. Next time I'll compose music for it please?

    Very cool insight as to what the real "street" fashion is in L.A. - - not exactly what you would think by watching the same old b.s. on the tube i.e. "E.T" and Extra - This is the real deal with real peeps, real time...

    Nice work, K! And Lindsay. I miss you guys!

    Not into the Vegas chicks. Or the hipsters. I liked the first two the best.

    I thought the Vegas chicks were totally cute! And I liked the boy with the tattoo of grandma.
    interesting, different perspective on fashion than the usual BS. well crafted, good job! let's see more!

    This shows people on Melrose are just normal people traveling around-- Good work

    I thought the Vegas chicks were hot! They were so nice when I interviewed them, and weren't "too cool for school." Not that anyone else was....basically, I had a good time with everyone. SO BE NICE TO MY NEW FRIENDS (who were willing to put it all out there)!!! ha.

    I love the beginning with the girl with the afro being filmed in front of a mural of people with afros filming stuff... very postmodern!!!!

    Great. Great. Great. Like the concept a lot. Very cool. I was surprised this was done in L.A. This piece has a very NorCal flavor. Good Job.

    i love the bits. Los Angeles is very fashion forward- i don't think that it was portrayed all that well in this pod- but it is a great bit nonetheless
