My girl calls me and tells me there’s a perfect pair of Nike Air Max’s at Flight Club, because everyone knows that I'm a “Shoehead”. So I get there decked out from head to toe in Gucci Graffiti, and the crowd thinks that I’m somebody, you know a celebrity. Then somebody wants to take a picture of me, so you know I be representin'.

Now we all know that designer street wear is influenced by the inner city. Just so YOU all know, Graffiti art started in the inner city streets of Philadelphia by a man called Cornbread.

This is fashion. The cycle of inner city innovation being adopted by the elite. And here’s a preview for ’18: FORGIVENESS.

Just like the graffiti of 40 years ago was a jumping off point for Gucci Graffiti today. Forgiveness is the word, the feeling, the emotion of our community and you can be sure to expect it on the runway and in designer stores.  

So, what did everyone think about last night's Tom Ford show?

Now I don't mean Binx Walton opening and closing the runway (a timely nod to Texas, perhaps?)... I'm talking about the obvious throwback to the 90's with those pant suits and shoulder pads.  Look, next Spring's line is all about solid metallics and pops of color.   Tom Ford is still obsessed with skin --- he loves the arc and beauty of the female body --- but it's the way this year's clothes respect the past and envision the future that has me loving what I see....

See.

We know about Tom Ford.

Just take a look at A$AP Ferg's new Adidas line debuting this September to respect the back and forth between the street and high fashion.

It's the language on the laces.  A throwback shelltop with the way we communicate today.  "Always Strive And Prosper" is about motivating and inspiring the youth.  Kinda' like what us young fashion bloggers are trying to do.  Right, Jay-Blue?
