‘In My Childhood I Used To Watch My Grandfather Paying Attention To All His Outfit Details…’

‘Because my grandfather was a gentlemen, he always dressed with all the details, and he had a class that you can’t buy. It inspired me to embrace this style. I love to be in a suit and tie. I’m also a lover of suspenders and details like lapel pins or square pockets.
I’ve always liked fashion, and always tried to follow it. In my childhood, I used to sit in my grandfathers bed and watch my grandfather dressing, paying attention to all his outfit details, cleaning his shoes and giving the final touch with his hat. I’ve always admired that and wanted to follow it. With time, and because of my profession (I work in hospitality, management and focus on consulting) I had to start to build my fashion personality.'
'They call it heritage because I follow my ancestor style without thinking about it. Nowadays, I’m known by the way I dress as much as my capability in my profession. And there’s nothing better for me than to be recognized by something you like and love.’

‘I’m A Fan Of Exaggerated Masculinity In Tailoring…’
Story submitted by Ryan Riekena

‘Over the years, my taste has evolved toward that of the understated and classical. While details make the difference, I believe that no one piece should stand out in such a way as to draw too much attention. Instead, all elements of an ensemble should work in harmony to enrich the wearer and express one’s individuality. Elegance over affectation, and quality over quantity.
My sense of style has become a unique blend of the proper formality of traditional English tailoring and the soft richness of Italian fabric. I’m a fan of the exaggerated masculinity currently brought to the table by Tom Ford, and originally inspired by Tommy Nutter. Big lapels, a nipped waist, and strong, yet proportional shoulders are where my interests lay.'
'I’m a firm believer that clothes do not make the man, but rather a man’s wardrobe should be a carefully curated collection of well balanced pieces, each one of which the owner feels completely comfortable with. A gentleman should choose his clothing with the utmost consideration, put definitive thought into his outfit, and then go on with his day as if he has forgotten all about what he is wearing. It’s the confidence to wear an ensemble that makes it look good, not the other way around.’

‘It was only after a bad breakup with my ex of 6 years that I started paying attention to style and how I presented myself. I wanted to make myself better in every way that I could think of.
I cut my hair (which was shoulder length,) quit my job as a sign artist at Trader Joe’s and moved across the country and started focusing on my songwriting and art. I’m recording my debut album and hustling harder than ever before. Never looking back!’
