Plaid Loven

KJOHN — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 04:46:02 +0000

So the year is coming to an end and I figured why not shoot with one of the best people I met this year…JESSIE of Jessieadore.com!!! We shot together in her area in Harlem and it just so happened we had on plaid jackets (great minds think alike aha). I found my coat at one of my go to thrift stores here in NYC. I almost had to fight a fellow thrifter because we both picked up the coat at the same time! The suede shoulder patch was the key factor in why I needed it so I was not going to give up the battle that easy lol. See more photos on Jessie’s blog at JessieAdore.com.

Rabbit Season

KJOHN — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 06:04:16 +0000

I’ve been on the search for the right fur collar for a while now and I finally found this rabbit piece a few days ago. I was not sure how to pull it off but I knew I needed one for this winter. Then I remembered my duffle coat that I wore so much last year and just threw it over my shoulder. Then, BOOM I had a new coat lol! It’s something about a fur collar that adds a certain luxury and wow factor to any fit you put together. I plan to put a lot of wear to this one. Now if only I can find a good black fur….

The Iise Monk Sack

KJOHN — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 06:04:23 +0000

Bags have become more of a statement piece for guys. Probably because our pants have become more fitted where we can only fit our metro-card and wallet in them lol. My good friend Terrence of the Korean Brand Iise Accessories just began designing bags and I went crazy when I saw this one called the Monk Bag. What sets Iise’s bag apart from all others is that they are organically hand-dyed fabrics using traditional Korean techniques. The dying process is usually a month long, making each bag very different from each other. Click HERE to see their other products.

Oversized

KJOHN — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 04:34:11 +0000

When I’m asked who my favorite designers are, it’s first instinct for me to reply Paul Smith. His play on different colors and styles of suites and men’s clothes in general is just amazing. He also does a lot of great prints, which I’m very keen on. So when I came across this old vintage sweater by this great man it took everything out of me not to run around the store and jump for joy. The colors and different patches of wool is what I’m all about wearing for fall. But what makes this sweater really dope is obviously how overly huge it is! Perfect for layering and mos def perfect for this new change of weather.

Shades Of Gray

KJOHN — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:40:46 +0000

For some odd reason it’s like natural instinct for us New Yorkers to wear dark colors when fall comes through with its chilly air. I’ve caught myself wearing a lot of grays and neutral color tones this past week. I’m usually referred to as the “printed joint” among some friends because of all my printed shirts that I normally wear lol. However, with the cloudy skies and cooler breezes, wearing dark colors just feels right…for the moment.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a post. I humbly apologize for that! With New York Fashion Week and working, my days were very limited. With that said, I’m truly blessed to know the people that I know. Especially the women! They always say “behind every strong man is a stronger woman”…well I have several of them ahaha! Meet my homie Jessie. She’s my idea of a tomboy, a girls girl, and thrifting buddy all rolled into one.

The GRUNGY Appeal

KJOHN — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:52:06 +0000

I do not really have a formula on the way I dress. (As corny and cliche as it may sound) I literally throw things on for the most part and pray that it works once I’m out the door! This John Varvatos t-shirt is one of my favorite tees that I own. In my opinion a guy should always have that go-to pair of jeans and Tee.

When Prints Collide

KJOHN — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 03:14:00 +0000

So those who follow my blog know that I have a huge addiction to printed…PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING AT THIS POINT LOL. The other day I was hanging out with my two friends Cleon & Mihal roaming the NYC streets. They introduced me to this brotha Eaddy of The Jersey Klan & I just had to shoot with him. He came walking down the street with his skateboard, this ill ass shirt, & crazed out hair. It was so random how our style pretty much clashed and meshed so well together at the same time.

Woven Love

I have not stop wearing my straw hat ever since my last post. My homie Joanne is the main reason why I wanted a straw hat. So, the other day when we were hanging out, I could not resist but to do a post on it. I’ve been looking for the perfect straw hat ever since the beginning of summer and I found this one at my go to thrift spot here in NYC. It’s the perfect shape and light enough for me to wear now and even in the fall. I’m going to do sooooo much damage to this hat…btw…PHOTOS SHOT IN THE BRONX MY HOOOODDD!!!
