The last few weeks have been somewhat up and down in terms of diary consistencies. For example, right now I am meant to be on a flight from Miami to NY after Art Basel, but had to cancel due to the health of my grandfather. I rarely discuss personal or family issues on social media, but I think that Snapchat and the nature of using it as almost a live platform has opened this up a lot more for me this year.
With that having been said, I had the chance to create some content with a family member (in front of the camera) for the the first time! Let’s be real, Oz rarely steps in front of the camera (and he’s definitely too busy shooting Bottega and Selfridges campaigns), so convincing him to be a part of this was pretty much a no-go from the outset. You guys hopefully saw the last Forever 21 post a couple of weeks ago with my brother from another mother/second cousin Angel – and now here’s part deux.
We went for a holier than thou mafia-esque vibe inspired by the fact that Christmas in the Thakkar household tends to either be on a beach or the blistering cold and sometimes has the potential for rather fiery arguments but mostly a lot of love.
All pieces from Forever 21’s Holiday Collection, available to shop online now. In the first set of shots, I’m wearing the classic tank coupled with my favourite(!), the asymmetric long line hoodie and zip pocket chino joggers. In the second look, I layered this with the green hooded utility jacket, shoes are the Oxfords.
Angel is wearing the Square Graphic Top with the zip pocket picquet sweat pants, and in the second look he is also wearing the asymmetric long line hoodie.
