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.

Roc Star’s Tokyo Psychic Boys
- story Chioma Nnadi
Japan-based label Roc Star named their spring 2010 collection Tokyo Psychic Boys which might explain the crazy lens action in their lookbook (you can actually see some good behind-the-scenes tomfoolery with vintage cameras from the shoot on their site right now). Judging by the white leather, ripped ‘n’ ravaged denim and insane sweatsuit onesies in this lookbook, it’s clear that the next generation of streetwear nerds are cutting looks fit for the streets of Shibuya or Harajuku—although we might be inclined to pull out some printed Roc Star Aladdin pants on a breezy day in New york too.
