Street fashion sites like The Sartorialist -- whose frightening clarity made us weep after saying that the "idea of dark pattern mixing for summer at Prada was one of the best looks of the season,” because now dark prints are all that we can think about. Really, it consumes us -- are so popular, it only makes sense that San Francisco would soon have one of its own. And it does: SF Street Fashion. It tries to take a look at, well, street fashions via different SF neighborhoods (although they could put up more arrondissements for diversity, including THE CASTRO, where some of the most unintentionally jaw-dropping style statements live.)
Hopefully, they will call out the hipsters on their bullshit. "It's not rocket science. I just throw on whatever fits," claims one very hump-able Steven. What a fibber! By that logic, he should at one point have accidentally worn a prom dress or bathrobe to Bottom of the Hill. Nothing wrong with admitting your fashion sensibilities, babe.
Otherwise, it's a good site -- and we're being very generous with the use of the word "good" -- or more to the point, a much-needed one for our city.

Awww, where's the Marina?
Where are the over 40s and the fatties? Downgrade!
Does SFist not have spell check? frighteing?
yoinks. thanks for the correction. it's fixed.
(sigh) Reading posts like this (and worse, visiting the linked-to site) makes me feel like such a f@g.
Ugh. The fact that some vapid PR account exec thought this site up and actually acted on her idea makes me furious with admiration-for-followthrough.
I'm sure it will no doubt link quite quickly with Daily Candy and Soma Magazine and 7x7 and all the other half-conceived, overly-funded vanity projects seeking to camoflauge SF in the trappings of the jet-set.
Having lived in some "fashion meccas," I'm comfortable arguing that "fashionable" is one thing San Francisco is not. And I think we're all better off that way.
That website would be a lot more fun if it took random pictures of people (like me) walking on the street in various neighborhoods and commented/made fun of how they (me) dress.
7, like Vice's "Do's and Dont's"! That would be the best.
If this site were an article of clothing, it would be from 1987 (in the most awful way). A major eye sore. Agree with posts 6 & 7.
fashion schmashion, they got nothin on the TL
here's a 6th Street fashion show

What about Street Fancy?
that site is lame just like SF fashion.
Same idea, simpler (better) execution:

regular people... they're just like us!!
Well, to paraphrase The Sartorialist himself: Milan is a city that celebrates men and women; San Francisco is a city that celebrates hipster boys and girls. Sad. Interesting or "good" fashion doesn't necessarily mean "exclusive" or "expensive".
[10] auweia1, all i'm getting is "no photos found". are you trying to be clever? also, 6th street is not in the TL.
Check out stylemob.com--it's a new user-generated community, kinda like street fashion blogs, but a community. It's fun. . . a bit addictive. I think they are based in SF.
Perhaps geographically, 6th street is SOMA, and not part of the "TL". But culturally, anyone saying 6th street is not part of the TL has never lived on sixth street.
