"New" Fashion Japan

Old habits die hard.

So the Prada sample sale was a bust, that is, if you are a guy. The mens selection was rather miserable and was condensed down to just two racks. However, I ended up going home with a grey and black silk headband, $30 marked down from $185. Freshman year, it was all about lamé headbands from American Apparel. It was silly when I think about it now.

Bess for success

Oh so rad. Bess is about to blow up, these boots especially (almost every editorial in the latest i-D magazine had them featured). I suggest checking out the store next time you're strolling down Lafayette Street in SoHo. Lots of studs (on jeans, shoes, jackets), reworked vintage and rare vintage. And it ain't cheap either. In two words: lux punk. The studded combat boots are available at OAK and Bess.

For Zana

Dedicated to my bay-area mistress of style.

I'm wearing a Julius hoodie, scarf/vest by Miharayasuhiro, black Ksubi tee, and my Givenchy Nightingale.
