NYC Style Explosion – Chen
Chen
Chen Close-Up
From fashion to graffiti, New York BREATHES style! In just a week, we’ve found some of the coolest and most eye-catching trends, and introduced you to some of the DOPEST kids from Harlem to Brooklyn. Our last day fom Swagger: New York features our boy Chen whose got the vintage-weekend look goin’ HARD. From the beat-up Acne jeans, to the old-school white canvas shoes (coming back globally), the Nike tank underneath the old-school Eddie Bauer checkered shirt…he’s masterin’ the well-put-together, rolled outta bed look. The chapeau is always a good choice for the Summer sun, but Chen adds some NYC-spark with the wrapped red and blue band. Oh, and that graffiti wall…ONLY in NYC! Check out ‘Beat It’ by the late Michael Jackson, buy a stand-out hat like Chen’s, and connect with Swagger: New York on Twitter below!

Hot In The Streets – Jay-Z and Mike
The streets are talkin’ about Swagger, and it’s no surprise that stylists and celebs around the world are listenin’! Every so often we’ll bring you ‘Hot In The Streets’, featuring a celeb (coincidentally) rockin’ a look that we caught on the block. First up, Jay-Z and our boy Mike, lookin’ identitcal in Nike Dunks, selvage denim, a black bomber and our latest Swagger trend: rosary beads! We knew we were influential, but Hov…really?! We’re touched. If you catch a celeb wearing threads from Swagger’s racks, hit us up with a picture or link at editorial@swaggerparis.com and we may use it for our next ‘Hot In The Streets’ feature!

Swagger Trends: The Rosary
Mike
Akira Close-Up
There’s nothing wrong with a little religious intervention…especially when it comes to your style! Of course we all know about the old and over-done Kaballah bracelets, but it seems like there’s a new messiah in town…the rosary bead. Some are sportin’ the necklace in plain black (like Akira above), but the most interesting looks have a little flair, from gold-plated with crystals to diamond-crusted and opal (like Mike above). Necklaces will always add a little extra to your look, why not give the big Guy a little love while you’re wearin ‘em? Hmm…WWJD? Buy your own set of rosary beads below and connect with Swagger: New York on Twitter below!

Acid Rain (and Shine) Style – Deanna
Deanna
Step back, NYC city’s BRINGIN’ it! Deanna went searching through the vintage racks and clearly found some GOLD. The vintage bomber’s become a staple Downtown – sexy yet classy – and comes in handy on days when there’s no sun but a hell of alotta clouds (…this week?). The red shirt’s a smart move for a little flash amongst the grey, but the acid-washed jean shorts always steal the look! Cut-high, the shorts (by American Apparel) give more of a badass vibe than a kitchy 80s one and the slim open-toed shoes are HOT for Summer. The girl’s got style and a hell of a pose…can we tweet you, D-?! Check ‘Can’t Stop This Thing We Started’ by Deanna’s favorite artist (Bryan Adams), buy THE shorts of Summer, and connect with Deanna on Twitter, all below!

So this Tuesday, brighten YOUR day with our latest Listen Up! artist, Passion Pit. ‘The Reeling’ (above) is a carefree and upbeat electro jam to pump you up for your next Summer (or weekend) getaway…on either side of the Atlantic! And, the video’s perfect for our week in NYC – a little artsy, a little grunge – with dope throwback styles! Passion Pit’s new album ‘Manners’ was just released and the band is on tour through the end of ‘09 (Paris- Aug. 28th, NYC- Sep. 25)!
