'My style is a mixture goth/punk influences and dapper gentlemen attire. I grew up in Southern California wearing Dickies and Chucks and upon moving to Colorado I found that canvas shoes just weren't cutting it 9 months out of the year. I like wearing bow ties, suspenders and colorful socks as a way to identify myself as someone who approaches fashion less conservatively than your average Coloradan.'

Since My Childhood I Have Always Showed Interest In Colors

'Whether to dress classy in a tuxedo, or to go funky and sporty dressing in a denim jacket with a colorful t-shirt wearing big sunglasses, or choosing all black my outfit is always related to my mood and occasion!
Since my childhood I have always showed interest in colors. I think colors express what words can't- feelings, behavior & character. My interest in colors was not only reflected through studying Graphic Design, but also through the way I dress. I believe that style gives the first impression to any meeting. In choosing my outfit I always give importance to two things, the colors and the materials. Knowing how to mix these two things is what makes style special and attractive.
Choosing a new outfit is like taking a new project for a new client. It should be special, different, meaningful, and distinctive, and the style only depends on the theme/occasion. The only difference is that the client doesn't change it's always me.'

Spontaneity Of Style Has Led Me To The Deepest Racks Of Endless Thrift Stores

'Every stylish man wants that clean, precise look but I crave the opposite. I would consider my personal style a calculated mix between a bad ass and dapper gentleman. That is to say, I aim to keep the standard details in tack but just a little disheveled. I have a curiosity for the unknown and the unexpected.
That spontaneity of style has led me to the deepest racks of endless thrift stores, to charity bins in parking lots, and boarded up warehouses in search of forgotten treasures. I feel the most myself when I adorn myself with the history of others. Placing my hands into the worn pockets of a vintage blazer, I can feel the frayed textures which hold the memories of some anonymous "other," who I now stand in place of by taking on his wardrobe. I am able to live out the lost fantasies of the men who's clothes I now explore.
In taking on the lives of others I carve my own path, one that is dictated by my agency and is flavored with the sentiments of those forgotten. These stories do not live in your local mall, these narratives do not exist on the shelves of a boutique and while practicality leads one to traditional retail establishments, I urge you to break conventions. You do not need money to dress like a gentleman. You do not need status to feel like an individual. You are more than your job description, your zip code, your last name.
The truth of your wealth is measured by what you create for yourself. Look Rich,
Shop Cheap. '
