Personal Style: “Unique, that is how I
define my style. It is a mixture of prep,
coexisting with skateboard. I love to switch
the style of my clothes from fitted to loose,
and from punk to hip hop; all along, keeping
in line with my collection of vintage
sneakers.”
Deciding What to Wear: “I love to be comfortable,
but yet still flashy. My decision is
based my mood and where I am going for
the day.”
If we were to take a trip into your closet,
what would we find? “If you were able to
fit in my closet, you would find a variety of
sweaters from Polo to Coogi, a stack of
jeans, not limited to but including iceberg
and Gap, and laid back skateboard shirts.”
Who inspires your style? “My style is
inspired by Kanye West, Pharrell, Nico,
Camron, Common, Fabolous, and my sister
who used to choose my clothes for me
when I was younger.”
Favorite designers? “The Neptunes. I
enjoy their clothes because they have the
best selection of styles ranging from punk
to hip hop. They combine a hip hop feel to
traditional style to skateboard apparel for
a new generation”
Favorite stores? “H&M, Urban Outfitters,
Alife, Supreme, Dave’s Quality Meat, GAP,
and A Bathing Ape.”
QUOTE: “If someone has it on, I can’t wear
it. I need to bring something new to the
table that will break necks and have people
asking, “Where did you get those
from?”
