I'm currently returning from CES where I got a concentrated dose of tech industry 'style' from around the world. It's not pretty: ill fitting suits, lots of jeans and fleece, and generally a lot of rampant aesthetic disconnects.
I work in San Francisco where I see the granola-y, very pragmatic, low-key (read schlubby) bay area tech industry fashion sense everyday, but CES has just been an opportunity to be reminded how far that profile extends (in this case mixed rather toxically with the hodgepodge style of Las Vegas). Anyone else here also work in tech or have comments on the industry's fashion mode and how it's so resistant to the penetration of high fashion or SZ-style edginess or really anything that reads "fashion" despite its overall affluence?
