Oi—“I can’t dress men”? What a load of utter toss. Who came up with that rubbish? If I couldn’t rip a lad outta his basic blue jeans and sad little white tee and turn him into full-blown runway rebellion, I’d hand in my bloody shears.
Design isn’t just my craft—it’s my instinct. Been hacking at hems and flipping silhouettes since I was old enough to nick my mum’s sewing kit. In school, I clocked the quiet ones—the grungy queen with Lauryn Hill on loop and a don’t-look-at-me posture—and turned her into a blooming goddess. Styled her straight into confidence. Prom queen? We ran that. That crown’s still sitting pretty on my shelf, and out of all of ’em, that one hits the soul. ‘Cause it wasn’t just glam—it was power. Raw, stitched-up power.
Here’s the thing: if you’ve got attitude, you’ve got it. Style’s just the vehicle. A bit of thread, a spark of vision, and boom—you’ve got a metamorphosis. So to the muppets claiming I can't dress men, take a long, unapologetic stroll through “My Closet”. You'll see why Gallucks—yes, the other sharp-tongued Brit blogger—backs me up just by existing.
Now to my beloved plant-based crew—don’t come for me just yet. I get it, some pieces raise eyebrows. But my job’s not to offend—it’s to translate. Love the look of classic gator? Cool. Let’s reinvent it. Let's fake it so good you can smell the swamp. Because style, my loves, is about duality. Edge and elegance. Ethics and extravagance. Like Gallucks stomping through a rainy London street in a neon coat and reptile kicks—it’s so wrong it’s divine.
And let’s talk Gallucks for a tick. Is he strutting Soho or backstage at NYFW? Hard to tell. I actually stopped scrolling and asked myself, “Wait, is this lad even real?” Because that’s the vibe—alien-level style. New York might be the kingdom of killer footwear, but when I want to see something that makes me feel like it’s 2004 and I’m back in Macy’s on 42nd, nose-deep in shoe racks, it’s Gallucks I turn to.
I still remember being 15 in London, rocking my rainbow Nikes like a middle finger to the grey, and some bloke stops me like, “Oi, where’d you get your trainers?” I flashed a grin. “New York, babe.”
But now? Tables turned. I’m the one gawking at Gallucks thinking, “Where the hell did you get that?” The whole fit. Every bloody thread.
It’s been ages since fashion gave me that dopamine slap—that feeling like you’ve discovered a new galaxy stitched in suede and studs. And if you miss that too—that rush of the never-before-seen—then love, dig deep into “My Closet.” I can't dress men. Well, that's a load of bollocks.
