Teki Latex’s Big Man Swag
Lookbook.nu is the go-to spot for aspiring Sartorialist muses, where anyone can post daily photos of their style game. We’re pro-democracy, but frankly it’s a clusterfuck—who wants to see what everyone in the world is wearing every single day? One person’s page we never miss though is that of Teki Latex, lead lothario of French electro-rap crew TTC and sonic proprietor of Institubes and Sound Pellegrino. Armed with a mission to “be innovative in this world of Elves dressed like The Strokes,” Teki tends towards ATL-gone-sci-fi, blending Ralph Lauren, Nikes, golf caps and edgier, textured embellishments—the odd Sixpack scarf or knitted socks from Henrik Vibskov. Our current favorite is a look he titles “Major Blazer,” a combo of cardinal blue deck shoes and tailored Lauren blazer flossed with a black silk Roc Star square as a shawl. It’s not stuffy prep so much as “classy in the club,” perfect for transitioning from daytime on Harvard yard to a nighttime rave on a boat.

FADER TV: LA Is A Nice Place To Live #2
- story THE FADER
On each episode of FADER TV’s LA Is A Nice Place To Live, the West Coast staff takes in some of the city’s culture and fun good times. This edition has us leaving the office and crossing the street to Nike Sportswear’s Los Angeles retail and event space, The Montalbán, to check out the West Coast premiere of Justice’s tour documentary A Cross the Universe and launch of Busy P and So Me’s rainbow-soled Air Force 1s. While there, we chatted a bit with the Ed Banger crew and co-director Romain Gavras about the film and Los Angeles while avoiding the Halloween traffic.

LA: Being True
- story THE FADER
UNDFTD on La Brea is hosting a photo event tonight celebrating the Nike Dunk or something crazy like that. It’s called Being True and features images inspired by that phrase from mega brohomié Jason Nocito and former FADER contributors Angela Boatwright and Kenneth Capello, along with basically every hot shit youth culture photographer of the last decade, all of which are listed on the flyer after the jump. The show was curated by Emma Reeves and Aaron Rose and Mika Miko is jamming it out. Get there early though because UNDFTD is not used to tons of dudes waiting in a line on the sidewalk.
