by Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

Style's been trending webward for a decade now, but 2012 was the year the memes really hit the streets.

Meanwhile, music and fashion continued to bleed into each other's DNA, and while some looks (Danny Brown in cowboy fringe) were better than others (Gwen Stefani and Karlie Kloss as "Native Americans"), we thanked the ghost of Nicholas Ghesquire that musicians kept their clothing interesting. Here, the year at a glance.
