The term streetwear is actually quite a common term in the modern fashion world. It refers to a distinctive style of street fashion, which has its roots in Californian and skate culture, but also encompasses elements of hip-hop fashion, modern high fashion and haute couture.

But it would appear that streetwear, or at least the more broadly termed urban fashion, is actually here to stay.
