It isn’t about the scenery, the celebrity, or how tall your boots are. It is about how you own the situation. It is about feeling confident in the moment, not getting too deep in your fashion statement, and leading your legacy with a classic, calm and cool demeanor.
There was a time in the last century when muttonchops were cool. So were Slinky’s, Speedo’s, and men kicking their feet on a bed while wedging down a pair of hip huggers. But true cool will never go out of style. From the moment it is captured in the lens it will be forever recognized as relaxed, sexy, classic, and edgy.
