For many people, fashion is about what everyone else is doing; in contrast, these Theo-Mass looks show just how creative, edgy and even subversive fashion can be. While a walk through any shopping mall will expose one to hordes of mannequins adorned in the latest mainstream styles, one will be lucky to find something nearly as offbeat and original as these Theo-Mass looks.
Almost every fashion shoot is a highly manicured affair. Magazines, high-profile photographers and supermodels can be risk averse when it comes to stamping their name on a final product -- they don't want to look bad or unprofessional. Yet, many of the pictures featured here were captured using Instagram, which lends itself well to their edgy, counterculture feel.
All in all, Theo-Mass deserves credit for being an individual.
