SEBASTIAN
Lives in Tribeca on Barclay | Taking his dog for a morning walk | Claims that nothing influences his sense of style, but it simply cannot be true!

JACLYN
Lives in Soho | In Tribeca visiting her boyfriend | Loves anything eclectic or textured, like the orange basket-weave bag she’s wearing. Dresses with tactile qualities in mind.

YAZID
Lives on Walker in Tribeca | Founder of AKSEL, a brand of dress shirts with a store at 311 W. Broadway | Likes to mix the very old with the very new. His leather jacket was his father’s and is probably 40 years old. Believes mixing gives you a look that is both sophisticated and timeless.
