chadchad of the day 4.4

studded leather biker jacket / reformed vintage by Burger & Fries
graphic tank top / Cheap Monday
galaxy print jodhpurs / no brand
shoes / Converse
crucifix x5 necklace / Burger & Fries


I styled todays outfit of the day around this cropped leather biker jacket that I found in a vintage shop on Brick Lane. I reformed it by adding 12 cone shaped studs on the front of each shoulder. With all this senseless violence & rioting going on in London, a guy's gotta try to look tough, am I right?  



studded leather vintage biker jacket / £69.99


I paired it with Burger's Cheap Monday tank top that says 'Por cima do meu corpo defunto' which translates to 'over my dead body'. Love that.  And very à propos at the moment as a lot of people in London are ready to stand up & protect their city from hooligans.  
I also wore my amazing galaxy print drop crotch pants from Korea that I've featured before. (total rip off of the same print used by Scottish designer CHRISTOPHER KANE).



crucifix x5 necklace / £29.99


I also wore a necklace from our Burger &Fries collection on ASOS Marketplace. I created this one using 5 metal crucifix pendants and a bit of heavy black chain. Very rock & religion chic.
STAY SAFE LONDON!

chadchad of the day 4.2

heart patterned shirt / Kokon to Zai (KTZ)
blue cutoff denim shorts / reformed vintage Levi's
black sneakers / Converse




Burger picked up this badass heart patterned shirt at the Kokon to Zai shop in Soho a few weeks back.  Such an amazing, loud pattern with equally amazing architecture - short and super wide.  I paired it with these cutoff short shorts I bought at Gwangjang vintage market in Seoul.  The booth selling them had taken dozens of vintage Levis, cropped them scandalously short then dyed them in vibrant saturated colors like this royal blue, selling them for only W10,000 (about $10 US).

sleeveless denim shirt with tassels / reformed vintage
black fedora / H&M
'Go Stop' necklace / handmade
black denim / no brand
sneakers / Converse


Last Sunday Nylon TV & Nylon Guys Korea came to my house to shoot a segment called 'Factory Boy' and this is the outfit I wore. 'Factory Boy' will be a section in Nylon Guys where they highlight guys who like DIY & reforming their own clothing. They filmed me reforming a denim shirt like the one I'm wearing step by step, but instead of the red tassel I added to this shirt, I used ivory suede tassel & a few studs on the shoulders. I'll upload the video as soon as its posted on the Nylon Korea website.


I made this necklace out of a pack of Korean cards called Hwatu / 화투 which are used to play a game called Go Stop / 고스톱, usually played by older Korean men. The predominantly red, black & white illustrations contain various flora & fauna found in Korea and are very eye catching.  I've wanted to create something with these cards forever & I'm way psyched about the outcome.

black sweatshirt / no brand
pink, teal, black & white aztec print shorts / vintage
black cracked shiny leggings / American Apparel
pink, teal, black & gold cap / reformed vintage and H&M mash-up
elephant print gold chain / handmade
black sneakers / Converse


This was the outfit I wore to the shhhACHE! party on Saturday night, but since I didn't get a quality full length shot at the club I decided to recreate it this afternoon outside my apartment. The inspiration was this ratty, old vintage hat with an Indian/elephant pattern I found at Dongmyo vintage market for W1,000. The plastic inside the bill of the hat was completely rotten and the rest of it was in no better shape so I decided to mash it up with a teal baseball cap I bought at H&M.




I used a seam ripper to take out the lining and to separate the hat into sections. Then I used a glue gun with black glue to attach the sections onto the teal hat, starting by glueing the original bill to the underside of the teal hat's brim, since I would be wearing it tilted back. I LOVE black glue for glue guns - it's amazing when working with anything black so you don't see the strings of clear glue but you can also use it as part of the design itself. I left one of the triangle sections on the back of the cap empty to show more of the original teal color then glued it to felt and attached a gold chain to make it into a matching necklace.


The shorts were actually a short & tee combo (complete with shoulder pads!) that I found over the summer in a vintage store in Medicine Hat, Alberta where I studied Visual Communications in college. I originally wore them as a set when Handsome Furs were at Club Vera in August. I love the aztec pattern and the early 90's colors. I always pictured some small town elementary school teacher with overly permed hair wearing them on vacation to Disneyland with her family, complete with fanny pack and some dangly plastic earrings. /
