West Coast Lovin' – Brendan Stampley
In weather this scorching, New Yorkers prefer to look more like Lawrence Bolido than Brendan Stampley. But Stampley, a San Francisco It-Boy, would have it no other way. We spotted him in Union Square buying accessories on the street as … Read More
The Broadway show “Fosse” needs a facelift. And there’s no better-looking guy to provide consul than Anthony Pedraza, spotted on the backstreets of SoHo a week ago. We have never seen a man shimmer, shimmy, and shake what his mama gave him like Pedraza in that Jeremy Scott for Adidas tank top, vintage bowler and Adidas kicks. Everything about this look shouts jazz hands (albeit chic jazz hands) and summer cool, from the drop-crotch tapered pants to that jaw-dropping tank (yes, we had to reference it just ONCE more). Boy, you need to find a place on that stage, the spotlight’s calling.
When you’ve got the last name Jameson and surround yourself with the NYC party set, do you have any choice BUT to be a club kid? Not if you’re howard, a dope Upper East sider who splits his time modeling and working for the sleek Meatpacking den, Simyone Lounge. (All you need to know about that place is that the waitresses look like models and the bartenders move like lightning.) When we ran into him, he rocked a low-hanging tank that would make a perfect summer staple for any stylish man as well as some YSL kicks that were understated but fresh all the same. If you’re this kid, you gotta look good always…never know when the next party’ll pop off.
Another day, another supermodel…wait, just kidding! Though Amy’s legs, clothes and pout may scream model, she’s actually a student at The New School studying what seems to be a class on ‘perfect fashion sense’. Her chic style’s often inspired by the haute-mag Encens and it shows in the stylish monochrome look she threw together for last weekend’s stroll through Williamsburg. From her Alexander Wang crushed linen shorts to her knotted Zara belt and sandy-hued leather bag, this college chick’s a style pro. When you look this good, don’t even worry about all that black – you wont’ break a sweat!
Frayed and fashionable, Hannah’s got NYC street-chic down to a (sequined) T. Working for designer, Mandy Coon this Summer, the Wisconsin native’s fresh off a stint at the London College of Fashion and it shows. Her torn shorts are Urban Outfitters and that sequined tank is a one-of-a-kind vintage wonder (insert overwhelming sadness, here). Hey, with a style that’s hotter than an NYC heatwave…you don’t stay home.
East Coast vs. West Coast rivalries never end. But Roxy’s not taking sides, mixing her LA-roots with NYC-threads for some funky street style. She’s a Parsons girl we spotted outside Brooklyn Industries in Chelsea, rocking shocking Cali-inspired purple shorts and a simple tank top. The chainmail purse is a hand-me-down from her grandma and the bandana around her arm’s just for flair…or at least that’s what she told us. Maybe this chick’s representin’ for a Coast?!
