My older brother, Louis, sticks to his basic uniform with extreme tenacity and passion, like everything he does. He gets OBSESSED with one detail at a time, and goes through phases where he literally wears the same thing every day. For a while, it was his fedora, then his head and neck scarves, now his sunglasses and Tibetan necklace. Everything else remains consistent and pretty basic. His over-sized sweaters, skinny jeans, Vans, button downs, and t-shirts are his blank canvas. He is a senior, studying history and philosophy at the New School in Manhattan, is a working DJ, and an emerging actor. It is so Louis to draw influences from Wu Tang, Grace Kelly, and a bandit and make it all work.
Louis’s favorite stores are INA, Paul Smith, Ksubi, Fabulous Fannys, APC, Rose Bowl Flea Market, and Eleven, Assembly

I really enjoy his take on accessorizing. How he is influenced reminds me a bit of myself. And I TOTALLY agree on the skinny jean/sneaker/mocassin aesthetic.

[...] But I digress! So what have we learned today? Mom jeans are in fact not the uniform of menopause anymore, and can be really sexy (equal ratio of square feet to human desire?). Norman Bates and Sigmund Freud probably would have thought way differently about life if they knew about mom jeans, and people should keep probably keep their butt cracks under wraps for the rest of time, both from a fashion perspective and, frankly, just as a courtesy to other humans. And finally, things that were once universally considered the end of female sexuality and the scourge of style as we know it can sometimes end up being the height “chic”-ness (chic-ity?) depending on your intention when you put them on. If you are in fact a mother who is looking to hide their sexuality in unflattering, yet comfortably fitting denim, you will appear that way. However, If you are an adorable, confident girl like Shelby, wearing the same jeans makes you look, well, adorable and confident. It’s all about how you feel inside and also all about the “why” when you put your clothes on in the morning. So, you go fashion innovators of 2011. Reclaim that pancake butt from the dowdy suburban mothers of yore! Pancakes are fucking delicious, after all. – Louis Mandelbaum [...]
