Well ok... there are thousands of photos out there capturing a million moments and looks that only John could have made his own... from classic glamour to something just this side of grunge rock... Depp does it and does it well... so well that he may have even been given his own fashion category
Hipster.... until now I have heard this word and wondered how to define or categorize it beyond 'trendy'
What is it really... well here is a recipe that I have been working on that seems to fit:
2 parts Hippie who is in touch with their natural side and also the natural side of people around them which incidentally sets them a part from the 'jet setter crowd of elites'
1 part Mod which means that they prefer simplicity and clean lines when it comes to pattern and color
1 part gangster which usually indicates some sort of 'lived in' quality to their style as a 'bad boy/girl'
1 part nerd or geek which makes for some element of technical or literary prowess as a conceptual orientation to accessorizing clearly setting them apart from haute couture and cover girl innocence
Recently there was a photo spread done for Fashion Indie Website that sums up these qualities suscinctly to be sure. But they still seem to miss the modal quality of Depp which makes him pivitol in film.... Character
It seems that there photographer and editor still cannot manage to deliver one of these:
Depp Disguised
Maybe what we can all appreciate is that there are people out there who take the best of situations and simply make it their own as they move forward... it does not define them any less or make short of their potential but rather lets us know that they are human and conscious and responding to the world around them
