My approach on fashion has always been unique since a young age. I've always been complimented on my unique fashion since, my boldness to wear certain clothing, or how handsome I look in my clothes. Fashion has always been a way for me to build confidence within myself, as a little boy, suffering with insecurities, and self acceptance. When I put on clothes that I am happy in, and look great in, I get a magical boost of confidence.

Modeling has also been another creative outlet for me. I love the feeling I get walking down a runway, all eyes on me, wearing the latest fashion. I think its so ironic that I love two things, that would require someone to naturally be very confident automatically. Especially as a working model, being turned down by agencies, because I was not the right black boy for the job.

I first discovered my love for fashion, and modeling in the church that I grew up in, in Tulsa Oklahoma. I loved dressing up for Church events, participating in pagent shows, and buying new suits for Easter Sunday, or Christmas Eve service. Now as an adult, who has always been extremely spiritual, and not religious, I try to incorporate spiritual messages in my clothes. The majority of the time that message is to simply be a free spirit, be 100% yourself, and wear what makes you happy.

I got this two piece, denim, acid wash outfit, from Cheap Thrills Vintage (3018 E 15th St, Tulsa, OK 74104). The straw hat from JC Penny. A perfect look for any BBQ, music festival, or Summer getaway. When I first saw this outfit, it was on a mannequin, and I wore it to a Coachella party. I love vintage fashion, because you can find so many unique pieces, that you are not likely to find anywhere else. I also made the pineapple homemade from scratch, also adding sugar to the rim. Perfect for any Summer party.
