The recent Parson’s graduate has big dreams of becoming “the next great fashion and music editor,” and is already well on his way, due to his opinionated prose, love of hip-hop and addiction to genderless fashion…
Fashion Week Schedule…
I’ll be reporting for Paper Magazine again this season – covering all the in’s and out’s of NYFW.
The shows to see…
I won’t miss new designer, Brandon Sun (whom designed Janet Jackson’s duds for the Blackglama campaign) who will be debuting his first RTW collection this season. And I can’t miss my Parsons peers, Frank Tell and Jonathan Cohen’s latest collections either!
One of my favorite shows to go to is always The Blonds because it’s like going to a Las Vegas show. It’s always over-the-top and is a refreshing close to the uppity-ness of NYFW.
Marcus Holmlund with The Blond's
Here I am last season with The Blonds. I wear a lot of Kimono’s and here I’m wearing a Dashiki. Catch me pulling some ethnic threads again this season!
Where to hang after…
VON Bar
I’m a huge hip-hop head and it’s hard to find good hip-hop in Manhattan, except if you venture downstairs at VON where DJ Eleven spins Biggie mixed with Bobby Womack. Drinks are nice and strong and it’s a great relief from the fashion week crowd.
New World Order
Is by far the best vintage ready-to-wear shop that not many people know about.
