Untitled

It’s been a while since we’ve seen some other vintage styles!  Luckily, I was invited to McGinty’s in Pasadena for a preview opening of their new menswear section.  Apparently, all of this stuff has been kept in storage containers for 14 years and now we got to take a look!  Even though there was some awesome stuff for sale, the guys that went didn’t look too shabby either!  Here’s some great looks!

Untitled

This year, Rajesh and I decided to design our own line for REVO, our university’s annual fashion show for charity.  Because it’s already May, we focused our line on spring menswear!  We wanted to show people that what we create is wearable on a daily basis and isn’t restricted to just staying on the runway.  So in addition to styling our models we also created something so hipster and awesome:  our own unique line of neckties.
