Ah yes... another day in the Hamptons, blotting away remnants of your Mojito (oh wait, wasn't that last summers drink?) with your perfectly delicate pale yellow bandana, courtesy of LeRoy Jenkins. LeRoy who? This enigmatic Dolce and Gabbana of Urban cult
ure is doing big things and just may be driving force behind the next Urban clothing movement. He turns his chiseled nose (check out the logo) up to Kanye and his striped polos and reminds us that true men aren't afraid to wear floral.
This concept is exactly why I love fashion. In this simple way of combining Urban silhouettes with contradictory of fabrics, LJ turns tradition on its head and elicits double-takes without resorting to the ridiculous (like becoming a walking advertisement/ commodity for you-know-who -- hmmm... I digress).
Even though I doubt I'd like Kanye if I met him - I do appreciate the fact he brought the whole classic thing back to urban culture (I know, I know he wasn't the first to do it, but he's really done a lot to legitimizing that look lately... we're not gonna acknowledge Killa Cam's role in the whole thing in this post). Anyway, I'm grateful, not just because there's nothing better than seeing a tattooed man with cornrows in a pink polo shirt (collar up, of course) but because its about time that look got rejuvenated altogether. Also be sure to check out LeRoy's myspace account for more info.
