Hipster Photoblogs

Global Blogs Document Underground Hotspots, Style & Nightlife

— March 5, 2009 — Fashion
The hipster movement is alive and well, and there are a number of photo blogs around to document its existence. These photo blogs feature some of the most interesting and freshest fashions; some even travel the world to attend the hottest concerts, fashion shows and celebrity parties. 

American photographer Mark Hunter, aka The Cobra Snake, has been following (and leading) hipsterdom everywhere from Paris to Sweden to Australia and back to his native homeland. Check out the photos with this article for an overload of non-prescription glasses, tight pants, sweaty concertgoers, Converse sneaks, and general debauchery. 

And don’t be surprised to see The Cobra Snake’s good friend and famed scenester DJ Steve Aoki alongside the likes of Paris Hilton, Danny Masterson, 90210’s Shanae Grimes, Steve-O, Kanye West, and many models sporting the latest in couture. 

Equally as intriguing is The Cobra Shop with its wide range of vintage fashion finds “hand-picked by The Cobra Snake on his adventures all over the world.” If you’re looking for a rabbit fur coat or maybe just an old-school Simpsons tee, he’s got it. The Cobra Snake makes even the tackiest of attire somehow look like it is at the cutting edge of cool. 

If you are into The Cobra Snake already or just can’t get enough of it, check out Canadian blog Shark vs. Bear. This Toronto-based blog will tickle your fancy. It documents various parties at Toronto hotspots like The Drake Hotel, Sneaky Dee’s and The Legendary El Mocambo. 

Urban nightlife has never been so colorful, playful, loud and… hip.
