Title of the Company: streetclash
Web: www.streetclash.blogspot.com
I love this quirky website, it is updated every couple of days and allows you to view street style around the globe and vote on your favorite. This is a fantastic way to spot trends before they happen and gives you an insight into trend interpretations in different parts of the world. Many fashion prediction companies have groups of fashion “spies” who travel the world spotting trends through window display / night clubs / cult movements and street style-what a fab styling job, one to add to the wish list!
