On the Street... "Old School," King St., Charleston
There is a mens shop on upper King Street in Charleston where this gentlemen often stands outside of. I've seen him many times but never felt it was the right time to take a photo. Got it this time.

On the Street... "Winter Red and Fur," Charleston
This has to be my all time favorite image from Charleston this year. There is so much happening here that I've found beautiful in womens style over the years.
-In my mid to late teens, I had a huge crush on a girl who her and her friends always wore bandanas around their head similar to this.
-In my early twenties I fell hard for any lady with bright red lips and long flowing hair.
- Currently, I love the dressy yet casual look of tapered pants with a no-break-hem and flats. I think any women, short or long legs can pull this off so well.
Very glad I ran into her last week while in town.

Charleston's New Class of Gentlemen
It's the #1 city in the country to visit, a cultural tourist
destination with historical tours, cruise ships and now plenty of fanny packs. Peel
back the commercial pomp and circumstance, and you'll find a passionate local
community and yes, fashion. Charleston's Southern charm is well documented, as
well as its perception of southern style, even with a thriving yearly fashion
week, the men's style in the Holy City portrayed in magazines, blogs and TV is
fairly fabricated. It's hard to swallow, but the fact is, bow-ties and long ties
are still mostly only seen at weddings and other special occasions. The
southern man has a "newer" long standing uniform that needs to go - Khakis,
polo shirts, Costa del Mar's on croakies, sandals or the ugly version of
Sperry's, visors if their super douchey, North Face fleece if cold - done.
Don't think this means you need to rush and call 911 for a fashion
emergency, the men's fashion in the low country has taken a shift for the better
in the past couple years which means there's still hope. Retail plays a
big part in what men wear, in Charleston, newer downtown additions like Billy
Read and Indigo & Cotton have brought in new collections of clothing that weren't
options before. These shops with modern fitted more dapper menswear have a new
class of fashion forward gentlemen dressing the part. New comer Desmond Kinlaw
isn't playing games, voted one of Charleston's most stylish early 2012, he's
since launched his personal style Chinos and Cheesecake and is taking on the men's
style front full force. He's banded together a few fellow Charleston based dandies
for the most dapper of afternoon meals followed by cocktails captured by non-other than the King of
Southern Streets Style, Me! I'm certainly no
stranger to sharp dressing, but happily made myself at home behind the camera
while Kinlaw and his crew took the spot light and showed off some ankle.
It might be a short commencement this year, but often the
first group of graduates are in small numbers. It's only a matter of time till
more Low Country men will become alum of the new wave of men's fashion elite.
Without further ado, here's to Charleston's New Class of
gentlemen, class of 2012.

Street Style... "Painted Red," Charleston 3/4
She was so cute! There was a bit of wind that day in Charleston and oh did the skirt just filled with air and added so much body every time the wind blow her way. I love clothes that moves and flows, really adds life to an outfit.

On the Street... Isa on George St., Charleston
I sometimes forget to take portraits when shooting street style, I hope you can see why I didn't forget to take a close up of Isa. Another fun note, I often like to play with shadows and narrow light that trees and buildings make. I call it the "Morticia Addams Look," simple yet dramatic.
