My first chadchad of the day from London! I thought I'd better make a big statement, so I chose this vintage raw hide jacket that I found in my Grandma Noni's basement while I was home in Canada. It was worn by my Grandpa Peter when he used to frequent rodeos in the 80's and was handmade by some Native American ladies who live near our families summer cottage. It's all raw leather with hand-cut tassel and hand-sewn beading. It must have taken hours to make. You definitely do not want to get caught in the rain with this puppy or you will smell like a freshly skinned animal.

Burger was given the screen-printed tank right from the sweaty back of Hercules & Love Affair singer Andrew Butler during a recent concert in London. He was pretty happy about that, but I'm sure glad he washed it.

I picked the sunglasses & cross ring out of Burger's vast selection of accessories. I swear I could wear a new hat, glasses or ring for every day of the year if I looked hard enough through that kid's cluttered little bedroom.

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.
