The stories we tell, San Francisco
Let's get back to where it began. A genuine civic pride and appreciation for culture. Thats essentially what we're doing here. The gauge is more than simply measuring the extent to which we can present our creativity and taste through fashion. Its about observing the fabric of culture through which each individual's personally accented style is woven. Like turning the pages of a catalog from page 5 to page 55, from Hayes Valley to Nob Hill. It functions like clockwork. Anticipating the varying degrees of formal, casual, high end and secondhand fashions that identify where we live and what we do. But sometimes its not as simple as black and white. His and hers. Cap-toes to wing-tips. You may choose to categorize the person in the photo by the box that they appear to fit in. But there's a reason its their photo that was taken. The avenues we walk are filled with exceptions. Wardrobes that have become too big for a category. This city is too diverse to ignore it, so we choose to magnify it. Everyone has a story. Some just wear theirs better.

Keepin' it 1930... Meet Kaya Fortune, San Francisco
To say Kaya Fortune carries his style in spades would be an understatment. His top shelf "time capsule" technique takes the traditional rules of asthetic and throws them out the window for an amalgamation of formal and casual chemistry and color combos that would make Warhol blush. He wears the blue square on blue suit so naturally well I forgot the rules he was breaking.

Nice Fold...Antoine Richardson of GLORY CHEN, San Francisco
The other day I was having a discussion with a friend about the correct way to fold a pocket square. And the correct answer to that question is that there is no correct way to fold a pocket square. Whether you use silk or cotton I personally feel that the way someone folds their square tells so much about their character and personal style. A pocket square definitely falls under the 10 essentials of a man.
