That Fashion Dude Springs Into SoHo

When it comes to SoHo, I have a total hate/love relationship. The sometimes impenetrable streets are the main cause of my disdain for this neighborhood but there are pockets where the constant stream of tourists don’t overcrowd. It is in this tourist free area that I visited a few weeks ago to help get myself in the spring mood. With a photographer on deck (seriously, doesn’t everyone travel with a photographer in … Continue Reading →
Fashion Friday | Whale, Here Goes Nothing!

It can be said that Thom Browne marches to the sound of his own drum. For his Spring/Summer 2013 offering, he’s marching (or swimming) to the sounds of a “song” as blazers, outerwear and trousers alike are adorned with a whale pattern. Oh, monsieur! You slay me with you quirkiness and while the pieces shown might be a bit too full on, you have offered more accessible options for the consumer. … Continue Reading →

This Build Your Playlist takes a look at those all too familiar moments when a person tries to figure out if something or someone is worth fighting for anymore. Maybe it’s a relationship between two lovers or friends. It could even been a work relationship gone sour and one suddenly finds themselves walking around Columbus Circle on a brisk February day wondering what the hell just happened. I started putting together this BYP … Continue Reading →
Fashion Friday | This Zebra Won’t Change His Stripes

In recent months, I’ve found myself feeling more and more comfortable styling myself in a button down. Be it with denim, chinos or a more formal trouser, the button down has made a strong appearance in my style life lately. But let’s not get it twisted, shall we? I still love my t-shirts. It’s like the cheetah trying to change its spots…or a zebra trying to change its stripes? Speaking of, … Continue Reading →

Good news, dudes. Blue is having a moment! No, I’m not talking about the British boy band who failed to chart with their latest record. I’m talking about the color. For the Spring/Summer 2013 shows, azul was a major player with Hermes schooling all other designers and brands on how to do blue right. Seriously, how sick is this Tufts blue jacket worn by Charlie France, one of my top 7 faces … Continue Reading →

Jarell Perry has been blogged about on That Fashion Dude numerous times and with his smooth vocals and slick production, I imagine many more posts in the future about this “Alternative” R&B crooner. This week, he becomes a total fixation thanks in part to his debut LP, Simple Things, which he released last month after teasing fans with new tracks ever so often. His single, “Happy 4 U (ft. Thurz),” was … Continue Reading →

In his young career, Bruno has sold almost 10 millions albums and is familiar with hovering around the top of the … Continue Reading →

Last week, I went to a screening of Simon Killer, the latest film from director Antonio Campos who produced Martha Marcy May Marlene. While I am unfamiliar with his previous work, I was not encouraged by Simon Killer’s conclusion to seek out any more of it. The film is about a young man, Simon (Brady Corbet), who jets off to Paris after graduating from college and breaking up with his girlfriend. Straight … Continue Reading →

I’ve been posting about Swedish music act Saturday, Monday since last Fall and even got the chance to sit down with him via email to chat for an exclusive interview. I have been patiently waiting new Saturday, Monday music and even though I was forced to wait months (it actually felt much longer which makes me realize how much I enjoy Saturday, Monday’s music) but things are all better now … Continue Reading →
