Any grails you really want to badly own?
Have your experiences in New York affected how you dress and feel about style?
Those APC’s I’m wearing above are maybe the first real “fashion” item I bought in New York, and I got them at Barneys when I came to school here in 2005. Breaking that mental barrier of actually shopping at a place like Barneys changed a lot. Keep in mind I’m not saying consumption of high end designer goods at upscale stores or boutiques is necessary or even a good thing; I’m saying they’re an easy way to be physically exposed to new styles and see what’s out there, with the idea being that maybe some of it will resonate with you. If you only shop at thrift stores with no exposure to anything else, you’re going to look like you shop at thrift stores. If you shop at the Gap with no exposure to anything else, you’re going to look like you only shop at the Gap. The difference is knowing how you want to look and going for it; how and where you source those items doesn’t matter. New York just happens to be great at having a lot of options for anyone and everyone, both inspirationally and commercially.
Where do you see your style heading in the future?
