How do you tell where you are? Looking at the fashion of two men walking in front of me, I sensed my destination Harajuku, the center of youth fashion, is near.
In a city where most streets have no names and without grid, pedestrians sometimes give better hints about your location.

First, you have an unfinished tag that influences the whole page in this post. (You can delete this line after you fix it)
Second, there is a great project mapping the style in the streets of Helsinky and some other places in Finland: http://hel-looks.com/,
But why not to go even further? Maybe It would be fun to create some kind of interactive service, that could tell you where you bz reading/judging/sorting the image of the people around you. You would take a picture, upload it from your phone and tag it. Engine would take your tags and add It’s own guesses from previous uploaders into consideration, selflearning style/geo/social network. Then you would create a location query by simply taking a picture or turning around with your camera on. More pictures you make, more accurate the system would be. I will have to pattent this before Google or Apple does, thanks for the idea
