{Get it Shorty}

Shorts similar to these used to be reserved for Luke or 69 Boyz music videos. And maybe Richard Simmons work out tapes. But when we noticed Brianna at a summer fiesta in Brooklyn, the Daisy Dukes weren't the first thing that grabbed our attention. The fact that she was able to pull off such short shorts without putting us off is what struck us. After talking to Brianna about her style we think we've figured out the formula. For starters she told us that she declared early on that for Summer ‘07 shorts would be her summer staple. Then she waxed stylish about how she "absolutely loves Valentino", and "old Hollywood" mavens like Dorothy Dandridge and Audrey Hepburn. And we got it! Three parts classic and distinctive + One part fun and sexy = 100% fierce, and flirty.

{Style Swap}

Meet Pamela and Jennifer. They are sisters from Paris. They admire the styles of Lou Doillon, Kirsten Dunst, and Chris Martin from Cold Play to name a few. Usually Pam dresses a la Jen (more classically) and Jen dresses a la Pam (more funky). On their last day in New York they decided to switch styles. Its cool ladies, laissez les bon temps roulez, what happens in the States stays in the States!

{fall out girls}

Mari Ann, Tiara, and Emily are summer camp volunteers. And this is what they wear to camp. That's because they work at the Willie Mae Rock Camp for girls. WMRC is this really rad (yes, we said rad) day camp for girls created to teach music, foster self-confidence, and encourage them to give a middle finger to the status quo. Pretty much the same thing we try to do at Origin of Style, minus the music lessons. After catching up on your Origin posts you should definitely check out their site at http://www.williemaerockcamp.org/.

Encarta® World English Dictionary

Martin and Malcolm wore suits. Che and Fidel rocked fatigues. What does a present day revolutionary dress like? We're kicking off the first part of our series on rebel wear while on location in Cuba. We snapped some volunteers and activists making their contribution towards a better world while in the country of old school cars and new school governing (Free health care anyone?). And there wasn’t a single pair of Birkenstocks in the crowd (not even the hot new shiny black ones). We think even making small change adds up to a lotta sense. Get in where you fit in.
