Why I love lookbook.nu:
- If Etsy.com let’s anyone be a craftsperson, and blip.fm let’s everyone be a DJ, then lookbook.nu lets everyone be a fashion designer/editor/model
- It escapes the idea of fashion and style being something that big designers, magazines and corporations say it is
- Much of the style and the photographs are excellent
- It integrates well with other media like Twitter, which gives it a social/viral quality

Thanks to Tim Moore, writer of the blog, Letter to Jane, for pointing this out. I believe anyone who has seen and liked The Sarorialist will like Lookbook.nu.
Smart People I Know 
As usual you’re able to summarize perfectly what usually takes me a couple pages, well put, kudos 🙂
I love lookbook.nu… it’s something I’d love to join, but at the moment my credentials (as in, my blog) are low and I have no idea how to be accepted….
I am sorry, but I don’t know how people join either. But I think you have a really good blog, and if there are some specific criteria for one to join, I think you could get there. I think you just need to find out what they need.
Regardless, keep up your good blog. What’s more important than meeting someone else’s standards is setting your own high standards and exceeding them.
Thank you! I’ll try, and once I have some good looks to submit, I’ll try joining. Your optimism is really helpful 🙂
Good! You should try: you have a good eye. And when you do, post back here and tell us you have succeeded.
