Hello all, due to the overwhelming whiteness of online fashion, I wanted to create an inspo album of people of color in fashion. This album leans towards both more formal suiting and black people in fashion. I received the book Dandy Lion, which focuses on formal black street style and formed the basis for this album. I made some attempts to find more asian/latinx folks for the album, but due to time constraints I don’t have the time in my schedule to find more. If anyone has any good inspo from non-black PoC, please let me know and I’ll happily add it to the album.
I see the irony of being a white dude and making this album, but no one else has done it yet.
He means something similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/Tom-Ford/dp/0847826694/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1479227320&sr=8-4&keywords=vogue+coffee+table+book
Just visual merchandisers for a higher end fast fashion store will have around five to ten copies of these and similar coffee table books in addition to catalogues and magazines for the season.
Not everyone is interested in buying the cheapest and first thing to pop up on amazon with unknown authors.
Get him a Casioak. Buy the watch and do the mod yourself. If he’s more of a sporty/no suit guy he will likely appreciate that and because you did the mod yourself it won’t just be a ‘bought’ gift but something you thought about. Should easily fit into your budget. You can also tell him all about the AP Royal Oak or get him this book to go with it 👍

I started the I turned 29, and I got incredibly lucky by meeting a passionate store owner who patiently helped me out. My style has since evolved, so I wouldn't expect everything that you discover to "stick" forever; also expect to make some purchases that you'll consider mistakes down the road.
Having said that, you mentioned some people who inspire you. Is it their general style, or only certain pieces that make you love their outfits? If it's their style, does it go with your current profession (if not, count on buying two wardrobes, since you'll essentially be wearing something entirely different at work)?
If you want to play with colours, I highly suggest looking into African and Indian fashion. I know that's a broad statement, but men with darker skin are killing it at wearing colourful outfits without looking like clowns; outfits that I as a white guy could never pull off.
Indian men have it equally easy wearing more colourful outfits, as it compliments their skin tone (an added bonus is that a lot of them have amazing hair).
Hope this helps.
Dude, this is the cover for "Back in the days"
PS, I didn't know the fucking book was $159, haha, I got it from a lover yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeears ago, it's fucking awesome.
Congratulations! It only gets better (and expensive) from this point onwards. Not a horological book per se, but it's a great read which a lot of watch enthusiasts adore:
A Man & His Watch: Iconic Watches and Stories from the Men Who Wore Them

the dudes hair is spikier a than clouds. but you tell me about historical construction of race in anime. lol.
the blond on black trend started in japan.
you sound so fucking white. imagining yourself in all the things. literally this is a fight i have with white weebs all the time. they cant stand theyre not the protags of everything.
i guess i can view a world that is not axiomatic to whiteness and produced in asia.
A lot of the styles in this game was inspired by the street fashion of early 90s Japan. https://www.amazon.com/Fruits-Shoichi-Aoki/dp/0714840831/ref=nodl_
The book Fruits. Is a nice visual collection of a lot of the popular street styles.
I recommend this: A Man And His Watch: Iconic Watches and Stories From The Men Who Wore Them
If you really like his work you can purchase this book about him on Amazon.
The photographer is Kwame Brathwaite, and a book of his 1960s photography was just released yesterday!
From this article:
> Brathwaite was inspired by the Pan-African philosophy of Marcus Garvey and with his brother, Elombe, a political activist, he helped to create a new hub of creativity in Harlem – the African Jazz-Art Society and Studios (AJASS) – a radical collection of artists, playwrights and dancers to celebrate the African roots of black American culture. Part of that celebration was a new ideal of black female fashion and beauty that rejected the dominant culture of straightened hair and “candy lipstick” of what was called “hot pants blackness” and embraced natural Afro hairstyles and bold African inspired clothes. Brathwaite and AJASS developed the idea for an arts festival called Naturally ’66 with these new “Grandassa” models.
Dandy Lion looks interesting and has great reviews.
That's what brand catalogs and fashion magazines are for. Unless you are you ok with books that focus on specific subculture photography like Fruits.
Take Ivy (Amazon link) https://www.amazon.com/Take-Ivy-Shosuke-Ishizu/dp/1576875504 Not sure if it's what you're asking about...specifically Ivy League fashion, possibly too late for what you're talking about. I love it though
I made new wishlists when I joined RAOA (I kept the originals private because they are just unorganized dumping grounds), so I won't win the oldest item lol. The oldest item on my main wishlist is "AmazonBasics Universal Travel Case for Small Electronics and Accessories -Black" from April 23rd. There are a bunch of other items from April 23rd as well, but that is what is at the bottom when I sort by date added. For imaginary bonus points... the oldest item on my original wishlist is the book Fruits which was added on May 21st 2005. So, I would have been a freshman in High School I think...
I worked for J.Crew for a couple of years and even before then, I was absolutely fascinated with style. What helped was learning about the nuances of fabrics, prints, and patterns. I started to appreciate clothing and started to see outfits as a system - different parts coming together to form an overall image. This approach works best with work clothing. I don't have the slightest idea of how to dress casually and in an edgy way. I stick to button down shirts in various colors and prints, well-fitted pants, and different shoes. I have A LOT of clothing, but I know how each item and its color, fit, fabric, and traditional use are all important elements in how it interacts in the outfit with other items.
If you like menswear, I'd start by reading the book "Fuck Yeah, Menswear". http://www.amazon.com/Fuck-Yeah-Menswear-Knowledge-Gentleman/dp/1451672683
