“From photographers like Martin Parr, who captures the charm of British seaside life, to the lyrics of Pulp’s song ‘Common People,’ there’s a longstanding tradition of honoring the ordinary. Each work sheds light on unnoticed moments, elevating the beauty in everyday lives.”

The style of common people is often practical, comfortable, and personal. Yet these everyday clothes—well-worn jeans, hoodies, caps—carry culture, identity, and quiet self-expression, resonating with streetwear’s roots in real, lived experience.

How does streetwear reflect the values of ordinary, everyday life?

Streetwear reflects the values of ordinary, everyday life through its roots in accessibility, self-expression, and a focus on comfort and practicality. Originally inspired by skate, hip-hop, and punk subcultures, streetwear prioritizes authenticity and often blends elements of both high fashion and utilitarian design.

Streetwear creates a sense of community, where people identify with each other through shared styles and brands. This sense of belonging is important for people who want to feel part of something larger—an approachable culture that’s built on common interests and mutual respect, often celebrating diversity.

I see “common people” as individuals whose stories aren’t always celebrated but are deeply relatable. Growing up, I observed my community through small interactions—whether it was a street vendor’s routine or strangers on a train. This theme allows me to explore these overlooked aspects of life and find beauty in the ordinary.

Parr’s photographs make me appreciate the small, often quirky details in everyday life, while kitchen sink realism adds a narrative depth that feels raw and true to life. Through this zine, I aim to add my own perspective by capturing the quiet dignity and resilience in small moments, and by celebrating streetwear as a form of everyday fashion tied to real, lived experience.

typography serves as a voice for the theme of common people. Choosing a typeface or style that reflects the unfiltered, authentic tone of everyday life is essential to making the zine feel grounded and real.

pairing large, bold text with softer, shadowed photography to create contrast and draw attention to specific phrases or words. This makes the text part of the image, almost like street signs or graffiti within the scene itself. By integrating typography into the visual narrative, it feels like an organic part of each page, representing the way words and images naturally blend in real urban spaces.

using documentary-style, black-and-white photos to remove distractions and keep the focus on the people and their expressions. A photo of a crowded bus or a street vendor at dusk should speak for itself, showing life as it is. I want the photography to capture small details—a frayed shirt cuff, a weary smile—that add texture to the subject's story, conveying intimacy and realism.
