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!

want 0.1

I've decided to start writing a new feature on thexoxokids all about my fashion wants. A wish list if you will. Stuff that if I had the disposable money to do so, I would buy and then feature in 'chadchad of the day' outfits.



My first such want are these impeccable jackets by ADRIEN SAUVAGE, a designer from Ghana who's brand A.SAUVAGE was recently picked up by Harrod's department store in London. The first is a digital houndstooth, very bold, very fun, very now and the second is a native patterned tuxedo jacket made from kente, a fabric indigenous to Ghana. Read more about how he photographed his friends and family wearing his recent collection during his first trip home to Ghana in 11 years in this GQ article.




My next want is this neon yellow shirt from Kokon to Zai's AW 2011 collection, and perhaps the platform shoes as well.  I've been featuring KTZ a lot recently, both in outfits of the day and catching them in street fashion pics.  I love the twist on the Palestinian keffiyeh scarf which the pattern is based on which has been so overused as a hipster accessory in the past.  Never thought I would promote that pattern but KTZ did an amazing job of reinterpreting it.



Finally are these lovely woven leather shoes from H By Hudson Origen which can be found on ASOS.  They remind me of the mesh slip on shoes my mom used to buy me every summer growing up from the now defunct Canadian store SAAN, but of much better quality of course.  They would look great with a pair of brightly colored shorts with the hems rolled up and a crisp patterned shirt buttoned all the way to the top.  Keep away from the beach though, mesh shoes and sand never mix.
