Leonardo Da Vinci said “Simplicity is the ultimate Sophistication” and man was Leo right- yeah that’s right I called him Leo, we were close once…… possibly……. in a previous life. Before I let my imagination get the better of me, I completely echo the above sentiment.

It’s rather ironic how the idea of ‘Minimalism’ especially in fashion is a style that many try to master and yet somehow end up complicating. Now please don’t get me wrong, I too find myself doing just that every now and then. But what I’ve come to understand is that style (no matter the kind) is an extension of YOU. Minimalism to me looks completely different to someone like…… Phillipp Plein for instance.

AIM: Establish whether urban streetstyle can be refined and be made flexible.

HYPOTHESIS: Urban streetstyle can in fact be refined and as a result allows the wearer more flexibility in styling his/her look.

If someone had told me 5 or so years ago that I would be writing my first blog post on Men’s Style, I’d tell them to get lost. I was the kid who was groomed into academia and my fate was pretty much sealed. It’s funny how things that were never meant to work out just never do.

I rather enjoy convincing people that I didn’t find style and that it found me instead. And to answer your next question, yes I wanted it to sound as philosophical as it did.
