Quality Street

It's rather depressing but I haven't come across any compelling streetstyle pictures recently. I've been checking all my usual haunts but...nothing that I really found inspiring.

Then I saw this image from the "How We Are" exhibition at the Tate Britain, which is the first major exhibition of photography to be held at the museum and includes the work of well-known photographers alongside images taken for family albums or medical reasons.

"Girl Jiving in Southam Street", taken in 1957. It was the graphic t-shirt under the tweed jacket that initially caught my eye but the effortless hair and strong facial features (unsullied by 5lbs of spackle) held my interest.
