2019 and The (same) New Dream

It's been nearly a decade of striving and allowing life to guide me towards this deep love of menswear. I would never have believed that the dreams started in this blog nearly 11 years ago would attract me to the offices of Vogue, GQ Style, Rolling Stone and working with men in like Ewan McGregor in Scotland, Morocco, and Cuba. This love of storytelling is both mesmerizing as much as it (still) provides a bit of torture. The desire to do more, see more, create more and contribute more to the world still remains the same. I am in awe of the process and cannot wait to continue to see more of the world and bring this dream to life.

Lately I've found myself listening to more hip hop tracks than usual. There is something so cool about the underdog. As I type this, I have blasted Say What's Real by Drake & it reminds me of that cool moment in the life of greats, when people see what you've been envisioning for years. You've officially proven yourself as not crazy. The way you dress, your love for your artistry, that gold watch that you've worn for years that may not have worked (but just looked too damn good to pass off). But truly, as I begin to ramble, I keep praying for my moment when [like these artists] everything comes together. Can I fucking be the fashion industry's Drake? Seriously. I've been dealing with this underground feeling forever and I'm just ready to deal with the heavy shit. Bring on the cuffed pants & the coolest handkerchiefs. Never want anything but to breathe this world. How can people not expect these kids not to be arrogant when they make it?

ORLEBAR BROWN---ADDICTED

Besides the obvious reasons above, there are ONLY positives to Orlebar Brown. I first became familiar with the brand while in the Mens Editorial Department at VOGUE & immediately became addicted! Besides the bad ass prints, the brand has to have the most brilliant colors. I've started an addiction to color (officially not on me) & how it boosts the powers of black. Think Royal Blue & an Emerald Green. Anyways, fuck what you've known about shorts before. This is it & as stunning as it gets.
