DIY Fashion: Wardrobe Remix Meet Bike

december 9.
La Petit Franc

Introducing a new DIY bike fashion movement called bike wardrobe remix. BWR is a flickr based group modeled after the wardrobe remix movement, a group of over 14,000 independent fashionistas that share their wardrobes and awe the audience with their prized thrift store scores. Now with bike. Help us demonstrate that real style isn't dictated and doesn't have to cost much, if anything.

Here's how:
1.Take a head to toe shot of you and bike
2.Tell us what you're wearing
3.Tell us what you're riding and where

Share your bike wardrobe remix with the flickr group. We'll be posting our favorites each week in a fashion round up. Here's the first:

Loving this idea! I think it's so important to show people who are on the fence about riding that you can do it daily without sacrificing your style.
