Lookbook.nu gives stylemakers a fashion diary

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Fashion, Best of the Season


While we do love million-dollar fashion spreads in magazines, they're rarely as inspiring as shots of street style. (Without the benefit of A-list photographers, fussed-over lighting and a team of professional stylists, plenty of people dress quite well in day-to-day life, thank you.)

Lookbook.nu offers an ode to just those individuals. The online style diary, where members (like Lina, pictured above) upload their DIY fashion pics, recalls a cheekier, younger version of The Sartorialist. Populated by self-described artists, students, lovers and nobodies, Lookbook's San Franciscan founders call it a "social experiment in style." (We call it completely addicting to browse.)

With trendsetters from Estonia, Berlin, the Philippines, and Stockholm--among others--featured, you might even learn something about geography while you're at it.
