Rock Shic: Proletariat Poses
This image has been archived or removed.
[Photo: Rock Shic]It has certainly been a harsh winter – and I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are all totally over the cold and ready to embrace Spring. Thankfully, last weekend gave us a taste of what’s to come.
I caught up with young Walter here, artist and stylist, on the corner of Delancey and Chrystie. His striking features alone were enough to make you do a double-take, though it was ultimately his proletariat chic-ensemble that totally made me compelled to capture his street style (love the knit hat btw – perfect balance of colors). “I never know what to wear now,” he laughs quietly (he’s shy!). I don’t disagree, while during the day we could be strolling along in a T-shirt, in the evenings a trench becomes a definite must, it’s positively San Francisco weather. Lucky for Walter, he’s got both – and some swagger to match!
