New photo blogs and indie-fashion websites are emerging as formidable challengers to the fashion maven establishment. They provide a raw and fresh perspective on how people all over the world express their individual personality in their style choices.

Flickr – Wardrobe Remix: an open group that allows any participant to submit original self-portraits of themselves in their favorite outfits.

Hel-Looks: a narrowly focused photoblog that documents the cutting edge street fashions of Helsinki, Finland.

Street Peeper: (profiled today on PSFK) a globally comprehensive site covering the best street fashions from New York to Paris to Seoul; this site adds a great interactive element to allow you to browse looks by designer.

The Sartorialist: (my personal favorite) the personal photoblog of former insider Scott Schuman; Scott has an exceptionally keen eye for detail and emerging trends.
