I love this information page on The Almighty Gaylords, one of Chicago’s most famous street gangs. Firstly– I have always been pretty obsessed with street gangs, secondly, the page is done in that awesome late-90s-early 2000s-Geocities style. The only annoying thing is that pulling images is a pain because of the heavy use of shockwave.. In any case, have a look– at least for the reference items: gang photos, graffiti, clothing, business cards!
Standard BDU Jacket– my standard this year (placed strategically alongside previous year’s favorites: Barbour, Letterman/Pendleton). Yours?
I hardly blinked when I saw these for sale online the other day, a pinnacle piece from his F/W 2009 collection, brand new Junya Watanabe ‘work-brogues.’ They weigh ten pounds each, and are hardly the comfort of red wings– but I’d be damned if they aren’t some of the finest pieces of footwear I’ve ever seen..
I love Diane’s post ‘riche biche’ on 90s fashion– specifically surrounding the glory days of Versace couture.
Now if only I could get her to post a little more…
Check out my Red Wing Pecos customs. Customs because I had them taken in at the top– they flared like crazy. Added zipper because I would never be able to put them on again otherwise.
This photo of Kanye is from ‘09, and the photo of the girl is from a blog post in ‘08– but for the remainder of this year, jean jackets (these lighter colored, baggier ones in particular) are my number one general fashion trend.
