MEET & GREET WITH JEREMY SCOTT AT ADIDAS ORIGINALS, SOHO

Last Saturday was the Jeremy Scott meet and greet at the adidas Originals store in Soho. I had to opportunity to go support Jeremy and rock pieces of the new Spring collection. I was totally nervous at first about standing around all day in some spandex shorts with my junk hanging out but once I put them on I realized it wasn’t that bad and I was obsessed with my outfit. #thepowerofjeremyscott

The event was DJ’d by Sky Ferreira who was absolutely adorable and kept the party moving. The other models for the day were Michelle Salem, Matt Mazur, and Frankie Sharp who are some of the chillest people I’ve ever met.

It was amazing and inspiring to see the diversity of the crowd. There were people there from every walk of life, including a few parents waiting on line with their children who couldn’t have been more than 10. It was cool to see how Jeremy and his designs cross all types of social borders and everyone was there for the love of it all. The event lasted a little over two hours and because I wasn’t on the side of the line waiting to get in, I got to see a different side of Jeremy. He really is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. He noticeably spent time with each of his fans and really paid attention to what they had to say to him. As a fan myself, seeing that – I have so much more respect for him as a person and as a designer because that was a LONG day and he was always on.

The day was amazing, and we got to keep our outfits. The American Flag and the American Flag Wings 2.0 shoes were definitely my top two favorite pieces in the collection, so your boy lucked out.

ANDRÉ 3000 DISCUSSES STYLE FOR GILLETTE

When I saw he was the star of the first iteration of the “Masters of Style” videos by Gillette, I feared he’d sold out. Alas, I was proven wrong as he stayed true to his fresh-to-def self and remains inspirational regardless of who’s paying for the video. Here is style icon and member of OutKast André 3000 discussing what style means to him and I couldn’t agree more, right down to the facial hair being a part of his everyday and working with what you’re given. This one and a half minute video is the perfect departure from the monotony that is #NYFW.

Now get back into the studio and get us that new OUTKAST ALBUM, MY DUDE!!

What does style mean to YOU?

NYFW PREVIEW: BART SIMPSON AS “TEEN DREAM” AT NYFW BY JEREMY SCOTT

In an interview with THR, my boy Jeremy Scott reveals that Bart Simpson will be making his debut at Jeremy’s highly anticipated show next week in the form of 8 pieces for men and women. He clarifies that the collection isn’t in fact Simpson’s themed, it’s more or less inspired by computers and the way we transfer and share information.

“I present Bart as teen dream. That’s who he is to me.” – Jeremy Scott

I literally can not wait for this show – next Wednesday I will be #living. Check the rest of the interview here and stay tuned to RORY:AFTERDARK during NYFW for all things Jeremy Scott.

FIELD TRIP: ROME!

Out of all the places we visited in Italy over the past two weeks, Rome had to have been my favorite. It was the most “city-like” and I can’t lie… the Coliseum was maybe one of the sickest things I’ve ever seen in my life. Like… not a joke – it’s def on the same level as the Jeremy Scott x 2NE1 winged shoe collabo. #dead

Check out the rest of the pics after the jump. Continue reading

COMPLEX FEBRUARY/MARCH 2012 – JEREMY SCOTT/A$AP ROCKY & LANA DEL REY

Last week we looked at the Warhol/Basquiat-esqe Jeremy Scott/A$AP Rocky cover but THEN… the second cover got released and it’s my wife Lana Del Rockmore Rey. This issue of Complex might send me into a fashion/music induced coma.

Also, peep this video edit/interview from the cover shoot. Kinda makes me love each of them each a little more:

“Everybody could be like – Yo… you look fuckin’ retarded.” – Story of my life.

SOUNDTRACK: LANA DEL RAY ‘BORN TO DIE’

Like… one of the best albums I’ve ever heard. I’m not kidding. ‘Born to Die’ is such the perfect soundtrack for a trip to Italy. It’s a bit of well versed mysterious sunshine for your ears and I want more more more.

I’m totally not here for stealing music BUT… there are exceptions to every rule and if you already pre-order something on iTunes and it HAPPENS TO LEAK, that’s not your fault. You’re allowed to listen to it so long as you promise to still buy it. That is the case with the queen, Lana Del Rey. Her album deserves a spot in the top ten and I plan on doing my part to make that happen.

A$AP ROCKY & JEREMY SCOTT KNOCK ‘EM OUT THE BOX ON THE COVER OF THIS MONTH’S COMPLEX MAGAZINE.

$TEEZ when you look at this spread. A$AP Rocky & Jeremy Scott grace the cover of this month’s Complex magazine. Rocky is sporting some looks from the SS 2012 adidas Originals by Jeremy Scott collection, including the music note track suit, the graphic print oversized retrospective sneaker t, and the all white oversized logo shoe while Jeremy rocks the American Flag Wings 2.0′s and the American Flag bondage jacket (favs). Check the rest of the images and full cover story here.

Kind of major to have your first magazine cover be Complex let alone to share it with the incomparable Jeremy Scott. Props to both these dudes.

ALSO- Peep Rocky’s new video for “Wassup” that just dropped today. And not that I’m bragging or anything but that BLVCK SCVLE pyramid ring that he’s rocking in the opening shots… he gave that to me and I wear it with pride.

Issue hits newsstands February 7th. Shoutout to SeanBot @ Complex for the heads up.

CUSTOM AMERICAN FLAG JEAN JACKETS FROM D.FAME

Ok- so a wise woman once told me that fashion always follows current events and in a time when politics are becoming more prevelant because of the Presidential race it’s no shocker that fashion isn’t too far behind. Recently we’ve seen Americana looks from Jeremy Scott, American Apparel, and Joyrich (just to name my favs a few)… and now we’re seeing this Custom American Flag Jean Jacket from D.Fame. It’s very similar to a Joyrich look from a few seasons before but D.Fame add an ‘ombre-like bleach gradient to the bottom… and I ain’t mad.

Check out the Americana looks along with the rest of his collection, which include a matching shirt, at shopdfame.com.

MY 2012 NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS

1) Save: Every year I try to come up with some kind of comical word play that reminds me to save and it never really ends up working out. “Think before you spend” and “Control your spending” didn’t really do much as I just put more time into thinking about how much shit I wanted and how I’d stop at nothing to get it. This year the goal is to not only spend less but to SAVE MORE – third times a charm.

2) Share: I started this site two years ago as part of a resolution (and a little bit of therapy) and this is the year I’m really going to get into it. I feel very Taylor Armstrong in that I’ve finally found my voice and I’m not afraid to use it.

3) Shine: I meant this in both the literal and figurative sense. Shining in the figurative sense doesn’t come easy – it takes hard work, focus, and determination but the way I see it, there’s no other way. Shining in the literal sense on the other hand… well… sequins just look good on me.
