There’s something about rocking all white on a bright summer day that makes a dude feel so fresh! Paired with a pair of deadstock fresh-out-the-box sneakers and you’re ready to walk around seriously feelin’ yourself. We are so excited that the sun is shining and we can start to soak in much needed Vitamin D.
I’m going to do a bit of a throwback, and “caption” my favourite moments from New York earlier this month.
The last time I wore this shirt, somebody commented that I looked like I didn’t “belong”. To me, that is the greatest compliment. Why fit in, when we were made to stand out? Go out and make a statement and be someone who is remembered, not easily forgotten in the crowd. And make sure there is just enough naysayers around you to continue to motivate to you to be best “non-belonging” version of yourself.
I literally felt like I was fading away from the world, based on these non-tangible man-made identifiers.
The city so nice, they named it twice! Something about the NYC air made you want to wake up, be dope, go out, meet people, eat, drink and be merry.

And this cherry red number from Balenciaga that we picked up in Paris a few years ago is the perfect understated statement …
The very last dress of the very last show of WMCFW truly deserved a slow motion video to take in all the glamorous ready to wear masking as haute couture goodness of this look. All of the onlookers were stunned and held their breath in beautiful shock as this princess gown literally glided down the blood …
When you’re a student in university, sneakers are not a style statement, they are a necessity. Nobody wants to trek around in boots while running between lectures and studying late in the Law Library – well, not regular folk anyway. Point is, after the degree was awarded, we didn’t think we would be seeing sneakers again for a long time as it was time to “grow up” and be all adult-like… who were we kidding? These AM90s are officially the go-to show for all dudes out there, don’t you think?
After a very successful stint in Toronto for Fashion Week, we decided to hop on a quick flight and spend my birthday in good old New Yooooork – and boy was it good! From street meat in Times Square to champagne at the top of the Standard, shopping at Bergdofs to shopping in Brooklyn, and …
