“Look ridiculous in the best designers’ clothes. I’ve never wanted to look cool in my life. My entire life is like a joke anyway. But I don’t like wearing costumes on the street. A costume is not fashion, and what I try to do is fashion.” —Yu Masui, aka Balenciaga Boy, on The Moment on his fashion philosophy.

^^I second that, wonderfully said.There is so much negativity, and hate out there, people project their own unhappines on others.Just look at all the gossip blogs, or this blog aswell, where people get worked up over the spelling errors in post's.etc
Makes you wonder how sad their lives must be, but this boy is lovely, haha.

I think that's very true^^.
If you take a look at Sartorialist, he features those who sometimes put the craziest things together. But they work.
Style is about individual expression and shouldn't be dictated to by anyone. Magazines like Vogue, et al serve to illustrate what's out there to choose from, not necessarily how you *should* or *shouldn't* be dressing.
Wear what you love. Love what you wear and fcuk'em if they can't take a joke.

If it feels good wear it! The most satisfying thing in life is making yourself happy, trusting your own instincts and in the end and beginning, loving yourself. So if you keep that in the front of your mind and play dress up each and every day, the sun will always shine. And for those of you without the means of B Boy, dressing in 'of the moment' labels, don't sweat it. There are infinite choices on the universe's clothing rack.

I read this yesterday and I feel in love with that boy. Seriously, wear what makes you smile, makes you happy, and what you love. Who really cares if it isn't "people" approved.
