This clothing photography series by Guda Koster shows us how fashion can be used both as ways to stand out from the crowd or how you can blend in and hide from sight. The ability to stylize your own appearance is fully on the shoulders of your own personality. There are some outfits that you wear specifically because you have to and others because you want to blend in with the crowd and not stand out too much. On the other side of coin, you have outfits that people wear specifically because they want to stand out.
One thing to take away from this photo series is that even though you are dressed to blend in, there are ways in which you can stand out, either on purpose or by accident. A basic black and white checkered dress may be a little out there, but if you slip on a pair of bright red heels, then you are for sure going to stand out and feel seen.
