Street Swag: SoHo Noir

Yeah the title is still a work in progress, but I've decided that on my lunch breaks in SoHo I might as well try and take some street style shots for everyone. This first lady I saw the other day on Broadway, on a very warm n sunny afternoon and she was still in all black, killing it...





Undeniable swag, as she was in the middle of an intense phone conversation in French. Shit, her dog has it better than most of us!

Style wise, her hat and haircut are such an ill look and completely compliment her simple yet powerful all black outfit. And while my eyes went right for the dog carrying bag (which is awesome), her huge hobo bag is was pretty dope too. Wish she wasn't on the phone so I could have gotten some detailed shots.

Blog Life: The 55 DSL Collective

So while in Japan, the homies over at 55DSL approached me about being part of this Blog Collective that they've been working on establish a voice of the brand. Only being vaguely familiar with 55DSL, I went and checked out one of their shops in Kyoto and saw that they are actually doing some really dope stuff! After that visit I gladly agreed to be part of the movement and upon my arrival back to the states, I recieved this sweet welcome package from the brand!...












After doing some research and getting this SWAG bag from them I'm seeing that they are all about having fun and promoting independent street art too. They've joint published a few books for photographers, got artist collab series tees, and even do events that promote local artists. It's pretty unique that they reach out to smaller artists that they appreciate and want to see shine instead of looking for artists that are already popular and carry a name.

Anyways, we'll be doing lots of fun stuff with 55DSL in the near future so be on the lookout, and be sure to check out the brand in the mean time. www.55DSL.com
