Street Style: Six Corners in Wicker Park

Street Style: Six Corners in Wicker ParkThough it’s a reputed haven for hipsters (whatever that means anymore), Wicker Park’s Six Corners actually teems with disparate, mingling fashions. This diversity stems in part from the broad spectrum of shops in the area: well-known brands such as Urban Outfitters and Free People, vintage stores such as Ragstock and Crossroads Trading Co., and independent boutiques such as Una Mae’s and Eskell. When you’re surrounded by young people and some of the city’s best shopping, it’s hard to swing a Reckless Records bag without bumping into a stylish passerby. © Michelle Klosinski, Groupon Katie, advertising Favorite local clothing shop: Aritzia Your style in a nutshell: Easy, laidback, monotone On Katie: AJ Morgan sunglasses from Stitch, American Apparel tank, Zara jeans © Michelle Klosinski, Groupon Ennis, sales associate at Brooklyn Industries, painter, dancer, b-boy Favorite local clothing shop: Brooklyn Industries, of course Your style in a nutshell: Urban, kind of sporty, a slim look On Ennis: Hat, tank, and jeans from Brooklyn Industries, Converse shoes, Lenscrafters glasses © Michelle Klosinski, Groupon Michelle, art dealer and gallery owner in Los Angeles Favorite clothing shop: Creatures of Comfort Your style in a nutshell: Comfortable, super comfortable, über comfortable On Michelle: Sunglasses from a 99-cent store, NativeLA shirt, 1980s vintage hat, Opening Ceremony bag, $7 shoes from a store she has since forgotten the name of © Michelle Klosinski, Groupon Buki (left), artist, and Ezra (right), illustrator Favorite clothing shop: Buki loves online shopping, particularly Nasty Gal, and Ezra loves Belmont Army Your style in a nutshell: Buki says her style is “urban, vintage,” and Ezra says, “I used to say I was ‘apocalyptic businessman,’ but I think I’m lighter now than I was then.” On Buki: Nasty Gal shoes, Urban Eyecare sunglasses, Topshop bag, dress from a frock swap with friends On Ezra: Shirt unknown, Paul Frank sunglasses (tucked into his shirt), Topshop pants, his dad’s favorite hat © Michelle Klosinski, Groupon Rachel, manager at Brooklyn Industries, punk-rock musician Favorite local clothing shop (other than Brooklyn Industries): Pitaya Your style in a nutshell: Maybe not today, but I’m usually pretty punk-rock chic...I was also once described as a funky airline stewardess.
