Street fix: Lord Fauntleroy in denim and DMs
Robby is the head designer for casual label Folded & Hung.
Street fix: The mix
At first glance you barely notice the outfit of Maverick, a student who lined up to watch the shows at Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2009. His style is so unassuming that, if one is not careful, he would be forgotten in the sea of fashion victims.
Fortunately, he knows how to mix patterns (marbled and checkered), match colors (silver sneakers with gray bonnet), and use key and accent pieces (his green backpack). Everything works: while his black jacket ties everything down, the gold detailing of his bag does the opposite. And to top it all off, Maverick tells me both his bag and shorts were thrifted!
The measure of true style is how one is comfortable in one's own clothes, as if they were skin. That way, separate items are almost indecipherable in the happy mix.
Thrifted Halloween
This is the first time I'm dressing up for the event, since I have to cover a goth-themed ball. I got a gray blazer (above) embroidered with flowers for only PhP50, or a little over a dollar.
Below is the design of the silk black obi I purchased from the same store at PhP20, or less than half a buck.
From another vintage chest, I bought a black lace dress with ruffles to be worn as a scarf. PhP192.5 (US$4).
From the same store: agnes b. riding boots for PhP144, or almost three dollars.
Purchases total PhP406 or US$8. Only had to pull out jeans and a shirt. This is how it all comes together.
Fantastic Man: Double denim
Mr. Moses Manley, an art student and apparently also model and creative director of Shared Ballroom, appears in the pages of Fantastic Man for its feature on double denim.
It's the successful face of double denim, with a proud look from Calvin Klein Collection: a pale denim zip-fronted jacket and pin-tuck pleated jeans. Under the jacket is a white ribbed vest by American Apparel, and the denim shoes are by Soar. Here, the watch is from Cartier.

What a wonderful hue! Above are the Calvin Klein jacket and jeans, as they appeared on the runway. Together, they are almost better than an ensemble I featured before from Copenhagen Street Style.
Equally inspiring are the denim shoes, which make me look back on two pairs by Martin Margiela for his 2006 Spring collection.
Manley pulls off the double denim look with a Marc Jacobs pale denim jeans jacket, a pale-blue gauze cotton shirt and pale denim jeans, both from Raf by Raf Simons. The vintage denim shoes are by Acne. The watch is by Bell & Ross.
I wonder where I'll find that specific color. Until then, I guess I'll settle for darker, more typical shades.
