Fall 2019 Lookbook pt 1
Photography & Videography by Matelli Graves
The intent of Model Ministry is to make men more confident & competent in their clothing choices, no matter the budget or style. To execute that idea, I've linked up with Matelli Graves, who is an excellent photographer & videographer (as well as one of my good friends) to create a lookbook around the fall season with four different styles.
This first look is for the earlier weeks of fall; some may call it an Indian Summer. It's warm in the day & cool in the evening. You can get a long sleeve & shorts off real nice.
I've always loved rugbys; the first person I saw rocking them was Grand Puba of Brand Nubian. KITH
is one of my favorite brands as they combine simple aesthetics with collaborations with other brands & companies. They do a yearly collection with Coca Cola & this rugby is from the 2018 Summer campaign. Heavy D had the red Coca Cola sweater in the Mr. Big Stuff video, which is why I bought this one in particular, as a homage to the underrated rapper.
The shorts are from Gap. If you follow this channel, you know I absolutely love Gap, they have great quality, they make tall sizes (I'm 6'5") & they always have stuff on sale. These shorts were regular $60 & I got them for $25. They became a go to for me, as they were lightweight & made out of a linen material. They fit well & above the knee. Skies out, thighs out (these are the 10" shorts..the 6" would likely fit the same for a shorter person).
The shoes bring everything together. Nike collaborated with Japanese clothing brand Sacai
& allowed them to remix the underrated Waffle model
& they absolutely crushed it. Five pair have released so far & they are all amazing. This blue/red/gold combination was my favorite.
The Hey Arnold socks were purchased from Marshall's for $2. I typically don't do those types of stores; though they have value, they're just not for me. HOWEVER, these were a must have. Hey Arnold is the GOAT Nickelodeon cartoon, btw.
Let me know the types of fits you like to get off in the fall & stay tuned every Tuesday in November as I roll this lookbook out.
