Theofilus London takin us back to the future !

Mr.Charming 
Theophilus London is an alternative rap artist from Brooklyn, NY, whose genre-bending approach draws from a range of styles, from soul-pop and post-punk to electro and contemporary R&B.Citing influences that include Michael Jackson and Prince as well as Kraftwerk and the Smiths.Theo’s style can’t just be categorized as hipsterish… it’s more like a direct ode to the past, 96% vintage and 4% new school . He likes layers– lots of em, swanky college or NBA snap-backs (90s style), blazers, button ups, jean outerwear, corduroys, classic frames (he usually sports brown tortoise shell by Oliver Peoples, clubmasters, or classic clear wayfarers), and whichever kicks complete his raw vintage 70s/90s look. Mr.London’s style is actually reminiscent of past local urban gentleman Curran Swint.

WE RUN THIS ART $HIT! - TI$A THE STYLE PHENOMENON

  

 

Arnold's passion has always been fashion, ever since he was a high school kid "boosting" (shoplifting) Ralph Lauren To feed his collection and to one-up his label-conscious friends..An urban peacock whose tribal look samples the preppIes of Brentwood, the punks of North Hollywood, the skaters of Venice, the hippies of the canyons and the hip-hoppers of $outh-Central, Taz Arnold is one of the most stylish men of the moment. Maybe you've seen him staring out from the pages of indie magazines such as Trace or Index, singing "Ima Vote Obama WΔy" in his self-made fan video on YouTube, or sitting next to Kanye West at a fashion show.. Arnold met West before the superstar released his first record and is now co-designing his forthcoming line, Pastelle. Arnold also has his own line, >TI$A< (Taz Is So Arnold)  He designes also for MCM.For Arnold, style is as much about creation as it is about remixing, and counterfeit has almost as much currency as the real thing..
