I always figured they were out there, the people who sit around and pick apart what others are wearing. I never thought that these same people would take camera in hand and start sharing their opinions with the world.

Well keep an eye out the next time you go out in your jogging pants and flip flops and for the love of God keep the ketchup stained shirt at home. The fashion police are now blogging.

Blogs sprouting up across Canada to log street fashion statements

DAVID-ALEXANDRE FABER was a few weeks into his new hobby snapping photos and blogging about fashion statements from the streets of Montreal when he came to a rather stunning conclusion.

Montrealers aren’t quite as fashionable as most Canadians think.

“Montreal style is slightly more laid back and, overall, it’s slightly bland,” says Faber, a Montreal college student.

“And the people I take pictures of are mostly English for some reason.”

Faber, 18, and two friends run a website called MTL Street, a blog dedicated to a kind of fashion patrol, paying tribute to the everyday fashion they encounter on the streets of the city.

They’re part of a growing number of sites popping up across Canada in cities like Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg and London, Ont.

They’re mostly run by young fans of fashion who seek and share inspiration in the style of others by approaching and photographing stylish people on the street.

You won’t find the latest designer gowns on these sites. Instead they favour clever turns with clothes you might dig out of your closet or a second-hand store.

From the fashionable sections of St-Denis or Ste-Catherine Streets to underground metro stations, the Montreal trio recently stopped people on the street in loud 1970s flowery jackets and fur-collared coats.

Man maybe I should start taking the camera with me down to Spring Garden Road. Then again I don’t care that much about fashion and I probably break many of the laws.

I think I will stay focused on my latest rampage, the bad parkers in the city of Halifax.
