Street ART

Голос танцпола · 03.06.2007

By Анна Лекс

These days it's too hard to surprise us with new haute couture collections, disco remixes of Viktor Tsoi, and pseudo-performances made of confetti, fountains and laser mayhem. These days what's in fashion is the street and everything that happens on it. Asking yourself the question — should I buy stilettos or sneakers from the latest Converse collection? — is already normal. Go to a John Digweed concert or buy the new Basta album? Head to a club or have fun in the open air at the Freemotion festival? These questions didn't trouble the street fashionistas who gathered at Freemotion Street Fest 2007 — there were world-famous DJs, and hip-hop, and graffiti art, and breakdance, and fashion collection shows, and anything else your heart could desire. All that remained was to soak up the festival's positive vibrations… which is what we did, combining it with chatting to the guests…

1. Three attributes of street fashion.
2. Three impressions of what's happening.
3. Three favourite tunes you feel like dancing to!

Sasha, 21 years old, works in advertising

1. Fashionable rags, condoms and "dough."
2. Money, alcohol and the best night of the whole year.
3. "I lobe you, Babe," "Dying of Love" by Fadeev, and the third one is playing on the dance floor right now.

Olya, 18 years old, photographer, journalist

1. Graffiti, breakdance and rap.
2. Lots of fun, really cool, two great dance floors with r'n'b and house music.
3. All the songs by Lil' Kim and Jay-Z.

Tatyana, 24 years old, designer

1. Whatever's comfortable, whatever people like, and whatever's comfortable.
2. Cool, fun, fine…
3. "And the snow keeps falling, the snow keeps falling…," "My God," "Ah, mmm, ah, mmm, ah…".

Evgeny, 24 years old, video engineer

1. Jeans, a haircut and a good mood.
2. Positive, modern and glamorous.
3. "The world is mine," I don't remember any more…

Anya, 19 years old, top manager

1. A sense of style, sexuality and, above all, always moving in rhythm.
2. Excellent, cool and a very warm atmosphere.
3. "Make up," "Bad girl" and…

Tatyana, 24 years old, clothing designer

1. In the soul — freedom, self-expression and pleasure; on the body — jeans, athletic sneakers, plimsolls and a fashionable t-shirt.
2. Good event organization, real street style, plus I took third place in the street-fashion, and it's also very clean here.
3. I'll tell you about my favourite songs later…
