Power, Corruption & Lies Or Schoolin' On Scholes

I love the combination of high and low. Incredibly well made utility clothing is just as cool to me as luxurious high end fashion. As we come out of the heritage era and see the youth having a lot more fun with their uniforms, we'll witness classic staples mixed with fashion pieces like never before. The streets have literally become the runways in NYC. People will still be attached to the concept of classic but open their minds a bit more to what can be considered "classic" and spend their money accordingly.

Don't forget the youth dictate this shit. And the internet has given them more information, access, and swag than ever before. The result... No uniform is the new uniform.

Jake Davis #ScreenTests: Eddie Huang

 

You haven't eaten till you've had a meal with my buddy Eddie Huang. Up until now there hasn't been a chef personality that truly represented my generation. Whether you enjoy his show, book, or restaurant; Eddie gives you something of himself in all arenas. The way A$AP Rocky defines this generation in style and music, Eddie has a similar presence in food. It's in your face, eye grabbing excitement. 

His style of cuisine is about entertainment... Part hip-hop, part heritage, all street. So of course I had to give you guys his Warholesque #ScreenTest eating his classic Chairman Bao™. And if you have a problem with his Star of David pinky ring you can take it up with Emile. Hahaha. Eddie's book Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir comes out drops tomorrow, January 29th. Shout to Chris Black for inspiring this one for the Tumblrs. For your daily inspiration Mr. Eddie Huang...

Crooklyn Classic Or Strangers In The Night

 
We did it like that and now we do it like this. Classic doesn't necessarily mean heritage. The youth are moving forward but that doesn't mean they stop paying homage to the past. Whether it's black Tims or black hoodies these staples are more relevant than ever and feel fresher than ever. Don't forget... The youth dictates the market and everything is cyclical. Time's up on what you'd expect...

There's a return to fun and danger in vogue. And things are always fun with a little danger...
