Bradley Smith from Stylelikeu.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.

occupation: Editor of Avant Magazine and the Production Design Coordinator of Suno

Bradley shops in the plus size section of thrifts shops and he prefers to thrift near retirement homes. When we went to film him he was staying with a friend and his clothes were in a pile on the floor. Bradley spun like magic from the mass of the best of “old lady” a display of cheap and chic extraordinaire. From the scarf as spat, to the “gramps” baggy pants pulled up over the knee as jodphur, he is anything but derivative. Bradley comes from Missouri where his peers felt that Abercrombie was the closest thing to originality. In an effort to find authenticity, he has become an archetype for stylish classicism that is completely rare.

I was awakened one early morning when I walked into the Y on the Bowery to swim and saw the back of my FAVORITE jacket, one of Junya Wantanabe’s Eduardian takes on the army jacket, that was how I met Julie.

Haley from Stylelikeu.com from Stylelikeu on Vimeo.

Occupation: graphic designer and student

Haley is like a little girl in her grandmother’s closet, with her yellow 50’s shoes and watermelon shift. She can carry off her 80’s bathing suits like no one and on her, with her striking long hair and Cher-like beauty, everything kitsch is as cool and earthy as could be. Haley’s floral pants from the street mixed with her mom’s sheer top and python boots is all boy meets girl with a rock and roll feel - “I was always kind of a tomboy, so I am trying to step up my woman game and wear things more feminine,” she says. Haley’s sensibility, with her bold prints and color, is so her own and underivative, that she is someone I would love to see walk ot of her door everyday.
