I'm not much of a ninja but I thought I would bust out my ninja-est clothing. I'm sure you are all going to blow me out of the water. I also figured ninjas probably don't smile.
Never gone full ninja before. This was fun :)

Last minute tabi fit. Don't have any baller ninja scarves to top it off, unfortunately. [COLOR=A74345] [/COLOR]
I meant to just observe this time, then I heard "ninja". Too much fun to pass on. I have access to a gorgeous Japanese garden I knew I wouldn't find tabi in a thrift store, I was looking for something acrobatic, these are Capezios, a dancing shoe! . They climb well. Everything else I had. I am balanced on a railing here, you can see it's shadow

Thanks, I voted for Eddie, I thought his was really well put together and functional looking; I think with a decent background it would have won.

I liked this challenge but I think it was a bit specific and excluded a lot of people who don't have much or any activewear or techwear in their wardrobe.

IIRC, quite a few posters wanted to see a SW&D suit challenge. Most people would have a suit or a blazer at least, so I think that could be fun and still give room for people to express their personal styles. I'll try and find some inspiration pics for that theme and post a new thread soon.

Congrats on the win Rais, you deserve it. I think a suit challenge could be great but I would prefer to avoid anything like SWD tries to do CM. Some people suggested it for the last challenge but I wear Yohji suits a lot and I just don't have the wardrobe to do the CM look well.

As interesting as it would be to see SWD's interpretation of CM I don't think I would be able participate. Keeping the rules more open might bring in more entries. That being said if there are enough people who are keen to give it a try I would be happy to sit out this round because I think the end result would be really interesting.

I like the idea in theory. We could do something a bit more relaxed, like SWD in "formal". Think a night at the Opera or something along those lines.
