Pet Milk Boys























You know what's in right now? Brothers in white pants and tropical jackets. You know what will always be in? Gorgeous youth, cheekbones, and cut abs. These two said they grew up on a dairy farm. I like to imagine them dressed like this and frolicking with tin pails of milk.

Take a minute and imagine that.

Sailor Moon























Oh youth! Now is the time to wear vinyl sail suits. Do not wait until you are old, fat, and further inhibited by the thought of running into your straight-laced coworkers or boss. Do it now!

Sister Friend here bought this outfit off the internet and did not realize how short it was at the time. I salute the prudence of cropped tights: they do not interfere with the overall look and prevent the world from seeing her hoo-ha.

I suspect this outfit would be a hit with this guy, although it might be too much coverage. And too much reality.

Max























The designer of Max's shoes, Carri Munden, had this to say about them, “The Blazer’s adoption within the skate community made this the perfect shoe for the project. The colors reference the faded neon’s of 80's skate culture. For the materials imagine the shoes came from a toxically mutated lizard = sci-fi pimp. We’ve left only a circle and triangle for the wearer to decode.”

She goes on to describe the shoes as inspired by the idea of "urban shamanism." She imagines “Ancient Amazonian hunting rituals adapted by a gang of skaters in a post apocalyptic city”. If Knoxville were to go post apocalyptic, I'd want Max on my team.

Hear the young designer talk about her shoe inspirations in the promo video below.
