Inspiration: In Praise Of Independent Minds

Hel-looks is a total inspiration to me. The site, based in Helsinki, travels around the city to capture the most mundane and the most wild looks. Straight, gay, thin, curvy, old, young, it's all here, and it's all original. While other "fashion" sites are out to capture Carine Roitfeld and the other high-profile editors, Hel-looks sticks with what everyday people wear, and how even normal people can rock a 50's pin-up look or wear a giant stuffed poncho. And especially with the still-present 80's metal scene up there, you see some wild little rockers just doing their thing, with inspiration from The Beatles to goth metal, which is of particular inspiration to me (if you couldn't tell.) I recommend it to any young connoisseur who wishes to expand their fashion vision. (Link at bottom of page)
