450px-hippie.jpgThe Berkeley News Center has taken it upon itself to singlehandedly tackle “Berkeley Style” with the help of a couple of reporters from BARE Magazine, a Berkeley fashion mag, whose first edition came out in the fall. In light of the display on now at Doe Library, the commentators who created “The Elements of Cal Style 2008″ online slideshow took to the supposed West Coast fashion mecca that is Upper Sproul Plaza, and snapped photos of the few people they could find who weren’t wearing jeans, Uggs and a Cal sweatshirt. Oh, and who actually showered that day.

In any case, the retrospective slideshow is pretty cool if you can’t be troubled to go all the way to the exhibit, despite that the 2008 portion is somewhat less than comprehensive. Yep, unfortunately, that means no photos of masked men wearing red sweatpants.
