About Vélocouture

Smart, stylish, functional outfits worn by transportational bicyclists.

Celebrate the creative re-purposing of "normal" clothes for use as a transportational cyclist. Help popularize the innovative, functional and fashionable garments that are (finally!) being created by pedal-powered fashion-forward folks around the world.



This group is inspired by the wonderful wardrobe_remix group. One way to think of Velocouture is as wardrobe_remix for those of us who go by bicycle. Cross-pollination is encouraged.

=============

Rules!

The big three:
1. Be dressed in clothes you cycled in, if not actually on a bicycle.
2. Bicycles are not a required element in the photo, but they will certainly be appreciated!
3. Since much of the practice of vélocouture involves looking good when you arrive at your destination, I hereby proclaim it OK to remove your helmet/windjacket/rainsuit for the photo.

Photos can be of yourself, or of other cyclists, caught in the act of dressing well while cycling (or the act of cycling while dressed well).

This isn't about wearing costumes or bizarre outfits while on a bike. Plenty of places for that. This is about stylishly carrying oneself through the everyday -- on a bicycle.

Also, please note that this group is about fashionable cyclists, not fashionable bicycles. No bike-only shots. Again, plenty of groups exist for photos of your bike.

Please provide some information about what the subject is wearing (and pedaling), if you have any.

Since much of the practice of vélocouture involves looking good when you arrive at your destination, it's OK to remove your helmet/windjacket/rainsuit for the photo.

Please, no spamming or selling. However, if you want to provide a link to the small purveyor of a particular garment, be it yourself, a friend, or just someone you know who is making great cycling clothes, please do so.

This group is moderated by the two-headed flickr member "hen power",. Questionable or inappropriate photos, along with photos that simply do not meet our suffocatingly peculiar vision, will be removed at our discretion. Please don't take it personally if we remove your photo. We're grateful for your contributions.

Ride safe, ride well, and cut a smart figure out there, people.
