On a recent visit to L.A. my friend took me around to see a few spots he thought I would like. When we pulled up to this spot, There was a gal in adidas running shorts, T shirt and flip flops on the telephone. She said “come on in” I ran through it and did my thing, asked a few questions which she didnt have answers to.. When i voiced my appreciation for the fine vintage pieces, she said “this isnt a vintage store, He will make you whatever you want, these are just examples”
long story short- after weeks of bothering my friend for the name of the operation, he finally wrote me today saying it has since closed !

Color Blocks & Mephisto

ColorblockP1190430

 This guy has got it down without even knowing it. The color palette and blocking  (see women’s Dries F09?) along with the original orthopedic shoes (Mephistos) make him the real deal. This is the type of irony that inspires…not the contrived hipster irony you see so much of these days. His choice of colors and proportions (high socks were not a must but add so much) comes across so naturally.
There’s something really cool to me about a younger man wearing Mephisto shoes.
When Camper, Aldo and Kenneth Cole followed Hogan, Gucci and Prada with the orthopedic look, I recalled seeing a few of these and some Rockports around town. Not sure if you have ever worn these, I tried them on once and wished I could pull them off but i felt they were too bulky but I love them, no lies.
