Hawai'i is one of the most ethnically and racially diverse places
in the world due to its central location in the Pacific. Situated
at the crossroads of different cultures, Honolulu has a style all
of its own. "Honolulu Street Style" captures this unique approach
as it demonstrates how global trends are transformed by stylish
Honolulu denizens to give them a unique, local look. Divided into
chapters on hair, hats, accessories, and beachwear, the book
features the styles of people encountered on the street and in many
different neighborhoods, with an essay on the history and clothing
of Hawai'i as a whole.
The neighborhood fashion explored includes that of iconic Waikiki
which conjures images most people associate with Hawai'i, yet the
mass-produced tourist clothing belies a deeper fashion culture
hidden in local enclaves and local boutiques that foster an
upscale, casual style. Chinatown is a neighborhood of dramatic
color and exotic touches, and hosts "First Friday" events that
transform the neighborhood into a crowded hub of artistic, musical,
and retail activity. As the photos show, the Kaka'ako neighborhood
draws a crowd that is hip, traveled, and not afraid to venture off
the beaten path. In contrast, the Manoa valley, home to the
flagship campus of the University of Hawai'i, presents itself as an
eclectic mix of students and professionals dressed in everything
from boho chic to surfer, skater, avant-garde, and casual
professional style.
A highly visual book with full-color street style photography,
"Honolulu Street Style" will be a landmark publication in the study
of place and style.
