Let’s face it—our taste in fashion often exceeds the flavor of our bank accounts. If you find yourself living on ramen noodles and pizza rolls just so that you can afford that Prada bag or the hottest new designer coat of the season, you may need to rethink your priorities. Instead of falling deep into […]
You see those baggy jeans and luxury outfits worn by rap artists? Yeah, they were all inspired by one man: Dapper Dan. Dapper Dan, whose actual birth name is Daniel Ray, is the Harlem Couturier known as the “king of knock-offs.” He became especially famous in the ’80s and ’90s for being the tailor who […]

Although friends on the show, Rallo and Lamont were anything […]

This is mainly due to them being fairly rare in the fashion world: not only are they Asian male models these two blokes are highly successful fashion designers. What truly sets them apart from most […]

Obviously, it was Univison (Telemundo’s sluttier sister) that […]
Let’s not even get started about the undertone of white supremacy at the very root of his tweets insinuating black NFL players should somehow feel beholden to their white team owners. No, what Donald Trump did this past month was far worse, far more insidious. He talked shit about the NFL players mamas. You just […]
