NYC Looks

Nomi, 24

“I’m wearing mostly thrifted items: the leggings are from Heaven and Hell who have since closed shop, egg bolo by Magic Society, and hat from Humza Syed.”

Arinaa, 32

“I’m wearing my favorite Chanel sunglasses, vintage Valentino leather patchwork jacket, vintage Moschino dress, KARA nyc pinch tote, knee socks by Barragán and Nike T90 re-releases. I’m admittedly a snob about vintage football footwear but these were a gift & they match the buttons. Last time we shot together I said my style was very influenced by my love for soccer, still the case! I’m really inspired by artistic interpretation of football. My prized possessions are my 1 of 1 pieces, often vintage, that hint at the nostalgia of growing up obsessed with the game.”

Jacqui, 29 Julia, 33

Jacqui, 29: ”I’m wearing two thrifted slip skirts layered, a Heaven by Marc Jacobs polo, thrifted unnamed vest, and thrifted Clarks boots. I’m inspired by the characters in Rohmer films, effortless style using what I have ,and throwing combinations together until it feels new.”

Julia, 33: “My jersey is from eBay, socks are Nike, both I cut myself. Shorts are Y-3 and flip flops are from Margiela sample sale last summer. Style to me is balance. I love comfort and the balance of making comfort feel final, or polished. I love function, like utility and sport, and balancing that with touches of softness.”

Odera, 28

“I’m honestly wearing a raw piece of red orange fabric I got at the garment district back in march as a top lolll, the shorts are unbranded second hand from Beacon’s Closet, same with the necklace, headscarf, and the shoes. The bag is Diane Gail, second hand from Depop, made of South African springbok, the beaded bracelet was a gift, the horn bangle I got in Senegal, the cuff is from Etsy and so is the silver bangle.”

Max, 26

“I’m wearing some beat up thrifted Leo sneakers, a pair of Express denim and a thrifted top with no tag and the bag is also some thrifted bag with no brand on it. I’m not really into fashion, so I guess my style is a combination of things I’ve collected over the years.”

Sophie

”I'm wearing a Miu Miu jacket and skirt, Zara ballet flats and a camisole I picked up for £5 in a vintage shop in London. The street inspires me. That's where I get most of my inspo. But I'm a die hard YSL girl too and try to get something every season.“

Aricel, 22

“I’m wearing a shirt from Miao and skirt from Cider. Lately I’ve been super inspired by the fashion of Lady Gaga, Kylie Minogue, and Allen Iverson. Going to museums, watching movies/ films, and people watching in the city inspire me.”

Hussen & Jaiteh

Jaiteh: “I’m wearing a blazer by me, pants Issey Miyake, and Henrik Vibskov shoes. I’ve been inspired by older people lately.”

Hussen: “I’m wearing Margiela’s on the feet, Entire Studio on the blazer, and Juntae Kim on the hat.”

Gianna

“I’m styling a 70s pinstripe matching set from Personal, Seychelles platforms, a Betsey Johnson Baby Cakes pearl necklace, and a pink fringe Maje purse (which was actually used on set for “The Devil Wears Prada 2”). Can’t forget my silver alligator clips that I’ve had since I was a little girl! Right now I am inspired by NYC. The past, present, and future. My style is constantly evolving, I love wearing anything that brings me joy.”

Christine, 30

”I’m wearing all vintage: Gaetano Navarra top from Normal NYC, Conbipel skirt from a pop up in Paris, Carlos by Carlos Santana shoes from Sora, and Gucci bag from The RealReal.”

Aaron, 38

“My attire is all H&M. My inspo: Stepping outside my apartment. Walking the streets of NYC. And asking myself which Aaron do I want to be today?”

Ogechi, 26

“I’m wearing a Tyler McGillivary tube top, vintage pleated skirt, and Vibram mesh shoes. Right now I’m really drawn to color and interesting textures.”
