Oh my, oh my!! I LOVE THOSE HEARTS!! are they self made? is it lego? It’s such an original and beautiful idea I think I’m going to try it myself. I can see also te belt is made out of lego
Some people can just pull it off… and boy, they can. I love the playfullness in their look, almost borderline silly-ness… Some designers put so much thought into achieving that look. It probably only took them 10 minutes to bring them all together.
As a New Yorker living (temporarily) away from New York, it’s photos like this that make me visit your site first thing every morning at work. I can hear and smell the city just looking at the pictures– these two are so distinctly New York. It’s nice to see some hype looks on here. Gotta love the expressions in the first picture…and those killer purple kicks.
I know I’m supposed to be focusing on their clothing, but the first thing I thought was how nice their skin is, and how nice it would be to touch their nice cheeks! Terrible, no?
The second thing I noticed was their attitude. The clothing seems even less cool and playful/whimsical than they themselves are.
I like these guys. Three photos of them on different days, all three they are dressed with purpose. That means they always try, and I appreciate that. The third image is reminiscent — Legos and Mario. My favorite, though, is the shirt that the brother on the left, in the first image, is wearing. Plaid shirt, white collar — so good.
Really well colored, very fun, I think the heart maybe insipred by KanYe West when he performed at the VMAs, with the heard shaped light thingy. Youtube it.
I do have to go to NY someday…as soon as hubby is going for work, I’ll be on that plain…want to see this all by myself !! Love the hearts and the red ray-ban…I’ve bought a turkish blue one myself after seeing Sienna Miller with one in a picture !!
It’s refreshing to see tasteful men in American Urban clothes. A lot of these clothes are cheesy, baggy, and just plain ugly. These brothers know how to use color very well, and the fit of their clothes is great. More young men in the States that are into hip/hop/urban clothes should take something from them, and make it their own.
Geek love! That makes me so happy. :) I’m so jealous of African American skin; colors look so beautiful and vibrant on them!! I wish I was in NYC just so I could high five these guys.

Alright, so I’m biased but I “heart” the Twins (pun intended.) They’re featured in Kehinde Whiley’s current exhibition at Deitch on Wooster. Dope stuff…
one of the best series i have seen on here yet! their style is practically unrivaled! thank you so much for finally posting something besides wafer-thin-couture-wearers.
ahhhh gorgeous boys!!!!! if i saw them walking down the street i would totally spy on them for a bit haha, amazing style, you see a lot of people trying to go for this but not really getting it right, the whole nostalgic/urban/ kinda nu ruve thing and looking like twats but dear god these boys are getting it so right its unreal. love them!!!
I usually hate the whole crazy candy colors everywhere and retro high-top etc, but the dude in the purple sneaks and red rays pulls it off with fly(ing) colors.
These guys are possibly the epitome of what i find HOT DAMN! attractive – obviously helped by their homemade belts and heart pins which I am DIGGING. But also, it doesnt help that they are incredibly hot.
clearly the impact of kanye west and his style. even though he has the prep thing going, simply putting a heart on his lapel while performing brought out these fantastically dressed young new yorkers.
first of all, ms. von strufen allow me to clear some things up because you seem to have been mislead by the media.. dee & rick GAVE kanye west a lego heart because they knew he'd appreciate the concept & actually wear it on tv, which turned out to be a clever marketing scheme, btw (way to go, dee).. so don't be so fast to pass off credit where it isn't due! understand that dee & ricky are TRENDSETTERS.. clearly, kanye gets his inspiration from US! if anyone thinks otherwise tell them mr. mikey says so!
the thumbnail photo is another one then the photo on this site???
the thumbnail seems like a cool photo of 2 brothers.. this has only one person in it?? maybe a file failure ? missing link something in the database..
