#CampusCrawl – Samuel Sutcliffe (Pratt)
We’ll just say it: Brooklyn’s premiere art school, Pratt, wouldn’t be the same without Samuel Sutcliffe. The kid’s loud – in both style and attitude – so trust us when we tell you, the senior doesn’t walk to class, he’s … Read More
Wide-Brimmed Beauty – Teresa Suddeth
If there’s one thing you must know about Teresa Suddeth, it’s that the Georgia-native ‘wears big hats.’ Always. When we caught her in this wide-brimmed wonder, just before a party at Opening Ceremony, we nearly buckled at the knees. It’s … Read More
We’re pretty certain Louisa Alsen stepped out of a Vogue magazine spread and onto the streets of SoHo yesterday, decked out in what can only be described as downtown-meets-Mad Men-glam. Her black wide-brimmed straw hat and wedges (scored during a trip to Germany) highlighted her bright red pout and clear frame shades. With a closet full of contemporary threads, and grabs from both Beacon’s Closet and the Salvation Army, the 20 year old FIT Textile and Design major is clearly a master at both ze style and ze thrift. With a sartorially perfect look like this, who says you need to break the bank to look designer? Pass the scotch, please.
It’s not often that we shoot our friends; strangers are far more interesting.

When she’s not rummaging through the city’s thrift store for treasures like that authentic military jacket and black bowler, the junior is studying graphic design at SVA and living it up on the Lower East Side. Half-Japanese and half-German, Yumi moved to the States from Switzerland and now that we’ve got her in the city of milk and honey, we’re not letting her go. So, go ahead, gawk. We do it all the time.
Layers are getting way too much attention this Winter. What’s more deserving of our love, you ask? Textures. Shingo’s a master of the texture-game, pairing knits with leathers, boiled wool with corduroys (Balenciaga, no less). His look forces our eyes to roam everywhere at once, but given we’re in love with each piece, all that gazing’s just fine with us. Come to think of it, Shingo the hairstylist may have a new gig on the horizon and it doesn’t have to do with hair texturizing…
