Street Snaps: Charm

Armand. Age 19, from West Philadelphia.

What is a trend that you wish would stop?

“Polo boots. I’m over it. And it’s the summertime, people still shouldn’t be wearing Polo boots.”

Is there a trend you’ve started to notice, that you think is going to get popular?

“Um… Denim jackets is a big thing now, you know. And that wasn’t — they went out for a while, but now they’re back. I’m noticing that. I like that, a little bit.”

How would you describe the way you dress?

“I like to be comfortable, and I like to add a little bit of sex appeal with modesty. I know that’s a contradiction. But I still like to be modest.”

With a little bit of ‘charm.’

“Yeah, charm. Modest, with a little bit of charm. And comfortable. That’s my number one thing.”

Do you have a current obsession?

“Well I’m a little obsessed with red lipstick. I took a break today cause I had a job interview, and I didn’t want anyone to think I was crazy. But yeah, I love my red lipstick.”

Is there a favorite thing you’re wearing right now?

“My flip-flops. Just cause I throw ‘em on and go. Nice and simple.”

Do you have any comments, questions, shout-outs?

“Mm, no, not particularly. Not now. Shout out to myself.”

All right!
