Dylan, 25: “I’m wearing a Professor E jacket with a Self Syntax jacket over it. My shirt is Uma Wang, cardigan Discontd, and pants and jewelry Taobao, shoes Alexander McQueen. I’m inspired by a lot of video games and media I grew up with. Some of my favorite games are Bloodborne, Castlevania, and Jet Set Radio.“

Grace, 24: “I am wearing a turtleneck from AnnoMundi, two thrifted jackets layered together (one from France and the other from NYC), a skirt I thrifted in Japan and Toga Pulla boots. My bag is from Greco and my hat is from China. My style is hallmarked by the combination of cutesy and edgy, one of my biggest inspirations is Kei Ninomiya.”

“I was wearing a schnauzer t-shirt and an Oakley software jacket I got on eBay and a mohair skirt from the vintage store Suburbia Circus. You can’t tell from this outfit but recently I’ve been trying to give myself an evil makeover! I had an emo phase in high school in the aughts and I’m trying to bring that energy back a little.”

“I wear a vintage plaid work jacket, a 60s tee shirt advocating for nuclear power use, and a pair of reproduction p44 pants I made from recycled fabric. My inspiration sometimes comes from vintage photos of people’s clothing and how they wore it. I like a slim and trim cut, especially as we are coming into summer.”

Tylo, 21

“I’m wearing Ecko track jacket I bought last year, my mom's Gaultier mesh top from the 90s, and my brother's pants. The shoes are Jeremy Scott Adidas which mean the world to me, I can't take them off. I have lots of bracelets and hair accessories that I wear every day. Those are from my childhood or things that people gift me. I love accessories and excess and being too much. I'm super inspired by funk and soul music and party culture. I wear mostly my parents clothes because they were super cool and have amazing pieces and lived amazing lives. I like to give them a new life and carry everybody with me through what I wear.“

Morgan, 22

“I am wearing a sailor cap from Baum und Pferdgarten, a Find Me Now skirt, Reformation buckle flats, and a vintage suede Coach bag. Everything else is secondhand/vintage. My biggest style pulls come from feminine preppy classics and masculine silhouettes. I find combining the two with a functional mindset creates a playful yet classic style. I find this inspo everywhere, but my favorite places to look are old media such as books and magazines.

Toyin, 29

“The concept of juxtaposition is something I often incorporate into my looks. I love teetering the line of a sporty and masculine look and feel, combined with feminine pieces. I enjoy pairing statement pieces with the unassuming; to create something interestingly subdued, yet elevated. I tend to gravitate towards clothing with texture and dimension. I find joy in playing with shape, often challenging the silhouettes of my clothes by temporarily altering them with safety pins or clips to add more dimension or volume. I’m wearing Akila sunglasses, a L’academie bomber jacket via Revolve, Martine Rose jersey, Balenciaga bag, a thrifted linen skirt, Area sandals, and Uniqlo socks.”

Sophia, 24

“I’m wearing a 60s leather coat I bought in Seattle, a silk organza Simone Rocha dress, a pair of agnes b trousers, Repetto ballet flats and an old Marni bag that I spent years searching for after seeing in on my friend Claire. My style is sort of just an amalgamation of everything I love and everything I’m drawn to — mid century glamour, Japanese fashion, old films, contemporary designers. I only shop secondhand so I’m always digging for treasure.”

“I’m wearing top and shoes by 5351 Pour Les Hommes. Scarf is Ann Demeulemeester. Pants are vintage military pants, so cozy. My jewelry is a combo of new and old, mostly scored from @old_jewlery. Rarity inspires my style. I’m drawn to the more interesting/ unusual things.”
