In what has felt like an increasingly slick and sanitized culture, it's refreshing to see "authentic" trends surfacing in fashion and media, from a recently-renewed national interest in sewing to homemade videos on YouTube. These Urban Outfitters EDMs for Free People and their namesake brand actually feel like they were drawn by human beings. I especially love the bird in boots.
