Encompassing all areas of style from the rising stars, initiators, and taste-makers, The Forecast is a video content site with an international focus on the world of indie fashion. Yesterday, the site presented a feature following the aspiring men of Street Etiquette through their daily activities during the recent NYFW. Touching on their website’s focus, future endeavors and guaranteed need for caffeine during fashion week, it is certainly exciting to watch Joshua and Travis evolve into respected taste-makers, designers, writers and before long, much, much more.

Activist Eyewear does not prioritize quantity over quality. They value novelty as well as consistency, and live this ideal by crafting each of our sunglasses in limited editions. Each colorway of every design is made in runs of 718 pieces, in honor of their hometown area code of Brooklyn, NY. This allows Activist to offer unique frames that are made for an individual, not a market segment. These designers are true craftsmen, combining old-world workmanship with cutting-edge technology.

William Okpo is a women’s wear collection designed by sister’s, Darlene and Lizzy Okpo. A nurtured love for fashion and creativity brought about the birth of the collection named for their father, William Okpo. The aesthetic of the collection is inspired by the juxtaposition of the Nigirian immigrant’s sense of style against American cultural sensibilities. William Okpo offers modern feminine designs with hints of masculinity. William Okpo can be found exclusively at Opening Ceremony New York and Los Angeles.

GENTLEMEN’S BREAKFAST
The shop is the size and feel of your grandfather’s garage, a small trove separated from the street only by a rolled-up door.
It’s the kind of secret hole-in-the-wall where you can find a pair of 1960s prison glasses, made from nylon instead of acetate so prisoners couldn’t shank other prisoners.
The proprietor, Van de la Plante, is a certified optician, so he can fit your prescription—regular or tinted—into just about any frames he’s got. That includes classic Dunhills and Tura aviators from Japan.

There’s also scotch to help you get in the right frame of mind (no pun intended), and if you become a regular, you can keep a personal pipe on hand, ready anytime you want to step outside for a smoke.
