The Style Ecstasy of Jamie Hince

 

He is the secret love child of Serge Gainsbourg and Johnny Cash.  The world needs more Jamie Hince's.

French Punk 1978

Combining two of my favorite styles: punk and old-school French.  I love how he just yells, "Fasciste!!!" at the end. 

Black Is Black

Dress like these boys.  Never be alone again.

Also, short jackets are officially a THING now, and my dad totally called it.

Lux Interior's Gold Pants

I rest my case.

Teen Apocalypse Trilogy

I'm really inspired by Gregg Araki's Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy right now....

TOTALLY FUCKED UP

THE DOOM GENERATION

NOWHERE

Youth tribes, L.A., shoegaze, industrial, drug trips, religious parody, sexxx, love, and EVERYTHING.  It kind of bums me out that these movies just get thrown into the 'Queer Cinema' genre because it sort of shunts them to the side, when really all teenagers should be watching these.  And can we talk about how excellent these shirts are?

I Actually Make Shit

 This is a design collaboration I did with my friend Nyima.  

She made the hoodie and I made the jeans and tee.

We were inspired by post-punk, black stones on a beach, tuxedo textures, Unknown Pleasures, and the Berlin art scene.  Get up on it.

Anatomy of a Rebel: Jun from "Mystery Train"

Elvis Presley - Blue Moon

Disillusioned rockabilly.  Need I say more?

GET THE LOOK:

Blazer by Ami, tee by H&M, jeans by Topman, shirt by H&M, shoes by Underground for Mugler


But honestly, you can and should thrift everything.

Where I Am When I'm Not With You

I don't like talking about myself on this blog because I think (a) no one cares and (b) that's not why I started it.  But forgive me, I feel compelled to today.  

I haven't been posting much at all lately because college literally has me by the throat.  I'm a fashion student (NO, really?!?), and I struggle to keep up with work and a "social" life and the occasional artistic indulgence.  I'm afraid Rebels hasn't been on my priority list.

When I started this thing my freshman year it was only as a means to explore my growing interest in menswear.  I think my audience is pretty small, and I like the intimacy.  

Now I'm heading into my senior year and will be working on my thesis collection.  I hope to be able to share with you in the coming months my personal research, inspiration, and progress.  It's really fucking exciting and terrifying and wonderful.

In the mean time, stick with me.  I've got some posts in the queue, some things to share.
