Karen
Name: Karen
Occupation: Singer for
Amy’s Arms
Karen is dressed in the Gothic Lolita style. She says she sometimes wears pink and assumes a Classic Lolita appearance as well. She’s also into traditional Goth fashion. Her friend Stacy made the dress, and her friend Alexandra made the bonnet, which makes her cherish those items more than anything store-bought. Her band, Amy’s Arms, plays goth-influenced music and has gotten some international attention, including a #2 song on the German charts. She likes listening to the music of Rozz Williams, Bauhaus, and Duran Duran. Her interests include painting, gardening, and riding her motorcycle.

Here’s a couple of pictures from 2006 – taken before I started this website. Probably among the first few street style shots I ever did. (Back then, I had a dinky little Canon point-and-shoot.) Never got around to publishing them, so here they are now. What do you think?

Candice
Name: Candice
Occupation: Web designer
Candice lives in Illinois, but is here visiting family (that’s her sister in the background). She says her colourful outfit consists of “everything that was in my suitcase that was not black,” and her hair is “usually either pink or turquoise.” She likes listening to industrial and electronic music, and her favourite band is Cyanotic – of which her husband is a member.
Katt
Name: Katt
Occupation: Retail sales associate
Katt’s style is a nod to the 1950s, but with a modern twist. She’s into animal print and bright colours, and Marilyn Monroe beach/swimwear pictures inspire her. Her jacket was a gift from her roommate, and she bought her shoes at the store she works at. Her bag (also from her roommate) is equipped with real speakers and functions as a boombox, as well as a place to keep her stuff. Her interests include painting, drawing and sculpting. Her favourite type of music is pop-punk, and Screeching Weasel is her favourite band.
