NYC Versus Copenhagen Fashion

Last fall H&M featured Commes des Garcons. I patiently waited for nearly an hour in a line that ran two blocks around the corner to enter the frenzy inside the store on Lex and 58th Street. I needed a helmet and pads among those crazy shoppers that pushed and tackled their way around the store grabbing whatever was in sight. I was like a pin ball for the first 10 minutes before I got pissed and decided to push back. I started grabbing whatever the fuck I could find. I ended up with drop crotch polyester 3/4 pants, a tie dyed button down, a see through silk chemise and a polka dotted vest. Although drop crotch leggings and pants lasted about two months, a short lived trend in NYC, they are present EVERYWHERE in Copenhagen. Men wear them, women wear them, transexuals wear them, children wear them and MILFs wear them (there are a lot of MILFs around these parts).
In honor of my roots (NYC) and my new residence (Copenhagen), I've attached two pictures representing fashion in both parts of the world. It's up to you to determine which one is NYC street fashion and which one is Danish street wear. Good luck...it's a tough one! That was me being facetious.
