There has been a lot of discussion over at the Opulent site about Melbourne street fashion photos. The discussion mainly surrounds the site Third Best (who have received interest from Fairfax digital) and their lack of information and limited number of locations. The question of sustainability is also raised due to the many other sites out there, both locally and internationally, that seem to do a similar thing at times - us included. Obviously, people like looking at themselves, and street photography has potential to document street culture but there are only so many images you can take before you begin to need something more.

So god bless synchronicity because just as we were about to start crying, we were greeted with a link to a new site STREET PEEPER (via PSFK). What separates Street Peeper from the rest is that each image is tagged with information on what the subject is wearing, making the site searchable via style, designer and colour. Street Peeper makes beautiful people useful - now that’s progress.
