I like to dress well using mostly vintage/thrift store pieces, combined with the occasional piece picked up from a discount store.
What makes your style stand out?
Going by public reaction, where virtually any time I step out, I get a positive compliment (or 2), I'd say it's because I combine classic elements with a dash of flair. It's not overly ostentatious, but it is eye-catching. Ultimately, my sense of style and color can be attributed to my mom, who often dressed me stylishly as a young boy. She also made her own clothes, and probably could have been a designer in another life.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
Meeting John Varvatos would be cool. I was in a documentary called PUNK that he and Iggy Pop were Executive Producers of. I like his sense of style as well. I actually have met Elton previously, but why not another time?
What would you do with $20,000?
A portion would go to a non-profit I'm involved with, the Haight Ashbury Street Fair, which is the only independent non-profit annual street festival in San Francisco, going on its 47th year. Some would be saved, and then maybe I could take a little vacation...
