@markasjordan gets the heat goin' in a mix of 90s inspo w/ looks for lthr kicks devotees
In the 'gram u can do it all & Markas J. Kates is makin' sure he does that. We first met him between fashion weeks, but there's always art on sight when it comes to him.
With 🔥 fits, the model has unique ways of showering us w/ looks: edits that celebrate shows & movies from the 90s (including our fave: Dragon Ball). Not to mention his pwrful choice of suede Yeezy kicks, obvs.
Come check our chat👇.
1. Your edits give us liiife. How did that start?
All my edits started as a way for me to use my artistic side in my modeling career. I used to paint and draw a lot in high school, even had my own art gallery before finishing my senior year. I also post things so people can relate. Whether they’re f*cking with the fit or reminiscing about a show they watched as a kid, I think it’s a unique way to bring the two together.
2. Can u tell us what inspires your fits? (they're over 9000, BTW.)
My fits are based on my mood. I love the color black and how it can match just about anything and also makes the colors really pop. One concept I’m currently working on w/ several glass artists is trying to bring glass into fashion. There’s a huge stigma on glass artists that they only blow rigs and bongs for smoking and that’s just not the case. Most of them create very unique glass pendants. So every month I will be working with a different glass artist to make a pendant that matches my fit. I think it’s going to be a great way to show off their skills as well as shine some light on what they do!
3. Final question: if u could wear only one sneaker your whole life, which would be?
I’d rock my whole life Off-White™ ODSY-1000 leather sneakers, customized by @murderbravado. He’s a designer killing the game right now with his unique out-of-the-box thinking.
Glad we met paths, HBY?
