K.R.T. x Osrick Ingredients Cricket Styles Michael Reynolds
“Kings Ruling together” – Young King
I recently teamed up with a great friend of mine Michael Reynolds, to do a style project for Osrick Ingredients Cricket. Osrick Ingredients Cricket is a menswear line that offers cutting edge men’s cricket inspired clothing, such as t-shirts, knit vests, cricket pique shirts, cricket sport coats, Oxford shirts, trousers, and other sport inspired apparel products.
The video was shot by Juan Ortiz of Redd Pen Media, it captures behind the scenes footage from the shoot. I love what I do and this day was no different, it was filled with a lot of hard work and excitement. I styled along side with Rodney Jon (MUA), Vincent sawyer (His Exclusively) and Pixtions (Photography). Check out the video. - K.R.T.
Street Kings | Project Style Shots
“Some of the most stylish men from all over the globe”
I’m always looking for stylish people to shoot on the street, some areas are more abundant with style then others. There have been days when I went out looking for people to shoot and didn’t find anybody. So when the opportunity presented itself after my interview with Marcus Troy “hint” it was much appreciated due to the fact that some of the most stylish people in the world were in one place. Check out these cool guys I had the pleasure of photographing at Project Las Vegas.- K.R.T.
K.R.T. Press | Tommy Ton’s Street Style for GQ
“GQ.com loves the Young King”
Its always an honor to be photographed by Tommy Ton for GQ.com. This was my fourth time being on the top men’s fashion site. This time I was next to a fellow blogger friend Steven of ostentationandstyle. I really like how we look cohesive but with two different type of styles. Check out more Street Style shots on GQ HERE. – K.R.T.
A King’s Trade Show experience: Toms Eyewear | Project LV
”Sight means education and opportunity” – Toms
I get this question every day, “Are those prescription glasses or are they just for fun.” This initiative from Toms Eyewear is very dear to me. I realized how important my vision is to my craft and rarely do I think about how many people dont have the means to correct their vision . So my answer is, yes these are prescription. – K.R.T.
A King’s Trade Show experience | Project Wooster | Las Vegas
“I spent an hour in Project Wooster, that should explain a lot”
Many may know Nick Wooster as the stylish man blazing the streets with his defined look being constantly photographed by renowned photographers such as The Sartorialist or even Karl Guerre. His all american masculine look has made him into a men fashion icon. Many may know of that but most may not know his contribution to the fashion industry in a whole.
Street Queens | NYFW Trend: The Fur
“Fur Trend for fall/winter”
Now that I am paying more attention to women’s fashion, I couldn’t help but notice the amount of fur being worn during my time at Fashion Week. While some say “fashion is pain,” these women kept warm while looking cool in the harsh New York City weather. The most amazing thing about seeing this trend so often during my visit, was that it wasn’t overwhelming– as most trends can be. Each person expressed themselves individually, making fur look more like a wardrobe staple than a trend. - K.R.T.
Street Kings: NYFW F/W Details
“Something so small can make a big difference”
Day two of New York Fashion week I focused more on the details of menswear. If you pay attention to each one of the shots I captured, you will see its not always about the entire ensemble but the little elements you bring fourth to make a complete outfit. Check out more Photos after the jump. – K.R.T.
Introducing Street Queens: NYFW
“Queens Inspire Kings” – Curran J
This is the first time I ever put woman’s street style on K.R.T. Its hard not to take note of the many stylish women in attendance during this fashion packed week. Last season many more women stood out to me fashion wise. Ever since, I told myself I would focus more on women’s street style and introduce my audience to my view on women’s fashion from the eyes of a young King. Check out more pictures after the break. – K.R.T.
Street Kings: NYFW Day 1
“Inspiration from stylish gentleman from all over the world”
My first day at NYFW, which is actually second day of fashion week, the streets were filled with men from all over displaying there style on the main stage in front of the Lincoln Center for Mercedes Benz Fashion week. Check out more photos of my first day shooting. - K.R.T.
Project NYC Recap Video
“Catch Tawfeeq Gaines & Myself at the 3:02 mark”
Last week I had the pleasure of attending the global trade show Project in NYC. Project has evolved into more than just a marketplace for menswear buyers & vendors but it has become an overall experience with an artistic flare where brands are putting more creativity into their visual setups, collaborating, spending more time building lasting relationships with consumers & showing you how certain products are being made.
In this recap video above you will find the president Andrew Pollard, Designer Todd Snyder offer impressions of the event. You will also catch Tawfeeq Gaines and myself cameo at the 3:02 mark as we have a friendly conversation with the curator of the bloggers lounge for Project, Marcus Troy.
I plan to do a more in depth write on the whole trade show experience at Project Las Vegas. I will also cover other tradeshows going on at the same time, such as capsule and ENK . Stayed tuned. - K.R.T.
