Streetwear is having a resurgence—not that it's ever really dead, but right now, it's back on the rise. Call us streetwear conoisseurs, if you will. We've ranked the greatest streetwear brands. We found how our favorites got their names. We even broke down 25 reasons why it's still relevant. This time around, we decided to go behind-the-scenes to find out the girls who love streetwear as much as we do. These shop girls, bloggers, and designers need way more shine because not only are they smart, talented, and essential to the streetwear brands they work with, they're also really awesome to look at. Here are The 10 Hottest Girls in Streetwear you need to know.
10. Nicole Phung
Current Occupation: PR and Marketing at Nasty Gal
Streetwear Affiliations: Hellz Bellz
Hellz Bellz seems to incubate a lot of who's who in the fashion-slash-streetwear world. We're starting off the list with Nicole who used to do PR and marketing for the women's streetwear brand, but now blesses her skills to Nasty Gal—oh you know, just the fastest growing retailer of 2012 that only hot girls shop at.
9. Sarah McSweeney
Current Occupation: Model
Streetwear Affiliations: Married to the Mob
The sister to MTTB's HBIC Leah started out modeling the women's line's clothes, but her fanbase has grown since the infamous octopus photo. Sarah moved onto a Parisian modeling agency and continues to add more high-fashion work to her portfolio, but we can't forget her downtown and streetwear roots. These days, you can find the Culinary Institute-graduate cooking up a storm around NYC.
8. Brittany Wood
Current Occupation: Marketing and Sales for Miss KL, Blogger at Vans Girls
Streetwear Affiliations: Hellz Bellz, GPPR, Vans
The hot blonde honed her blogging skills over at GPPR and Hellz, but now does marketing and sales for Miss KL, Karmaloop's new e-commerce site for women. If that's not streetwear enough for you, you can also catch her blogging for Vans.
7. Angie Dita
Current Occupation: Designer at Vans
Streetwear Affiliations: Vans, Hellz Bellz
Angie is the former graphic and apparel designer for Hellz Bellz (see a pattern here?), and is now a footwear designer for Vans. She's got an eclectic taste in music, so get ready to know your indie to rap to rock if you want to spit game.
6. Meghan Rother
Current Occupation: Social Media Manager at The Hundreds
Streetwear Affiliations: The Hundreds
Meghan models for The Hundreds from time to time (check out that bikini!), but she's not just there for good looks. The internet-savvy lady also handels social media and PR for the streetwear brand. She's so hot that we even asked her for style advice.
5. Sophia Chang
Current Occupation: Designer, Illustrator
Streetwear Affiliations: Staple, Undefeated, Made Me, Nike
Sophia and streetwear go hand-in-hand. The Queens, New York native grew up wearing the brands we know and love since she was a pre-teen, but then started working with the brands directly. She's designed graphics for Undefeated and Staple, made a custom floral print for women's streetwear line Made Me, and works with Nike on lifestyle projects. Not to mention, she's a frequent design contributor for Complex.
4. Linda Nguyen
Current Occupation: Founder and Creative Director of LOVE + MADE
Streetwear Affiliations: Obey, Stussy
You may not know a lot about Linda now, but that's because real Gs move in silence. Linda is founder and creative director of LOVE + MADE, an all female company that helps consult and curate events for a long list of cool brands. LOVE + MADE most recently did a collabo with Stussy, but the company has also worked with Obey, Vans, WESC, adidas, and LRG, just to name a few.
3. Bonnie Hundreds
Current Occupation: Customer Service at The Hundreds
Streetwear Affiliations: The Hundreds
Bonnie is part of The Hundreds family, and she's awesome. For one, there are Tumblrs dedicated to her. Google her name and you would think guys only shop at the streetwear brand's Santa Monica location just for a chance to see the babe in person.
2. Sammy Jo Alonso
Current Occupation: Co-Owner of Fruition
Streetwear Affiliations: Fruition, Nike, Undefeated, Stussy
Sammy Jo co-owns Las Vegas' streetwear and vintage haven Fruition with Chris Julian and hangs out with fellow hot girls in streetwear. When she's not working her magic at the boutique (and at Undefeated LV and the Stussy LV chapter), you can catch her (and her very fit bod) running with Nike Bridge Runners and Nike Portland to motivate others and help charities such as the Kanye West Foundation.
1. Joy Claire
Current Occupation: Marketing Manager of ONE Distribution
Streetwear Affiliations: KR3W, Supra
She throws all the sick events for KR3W and Supra, but her connection to streetwear runs deeper than that. Joy has also worked with the likes of Huf and Nike, plus she started out in retail, doing sales for Undefeated and managing the Union store. The best part about this media maven? She posts sexy selfies on Instagram. Often.
