Dudes style is ILL.
Sin July 11, 2009 at 6:04 pm
His style is also more classy and unique and different than what kanye wears, Brooklyn Circus is an exquisite brand founded by the Ougi of Brooklyn and thus the style is unique and forms quite an identity on those who wear it. Not too many can form a great fashion brand and appeal to both the high class and low end with ysl sneakers and supreme hats. This guy does and even though trendhumpers can be spotted copying the style all over soho, this guy looks like an originator. Its a classy blend of priceless and expensive fashion and a must, this guy knows how to dress real good and its no wonder why everyone asks him to be their stlyist.
