This past week i had a minute to cruise to Downtown LA to see an old friend and check out the new mens line G.P.P.R.  Bam Barcena is the Designer and Founder of this line that reiterates masculine style, attention to detail and comfort.  Bam has a long history in fashion and it is great to see him come out with his own line that really reverberates his vision and style.  In the studio you can see his influences everywhere, what caught my eye was the 10 hole Doc Martin Steelies with the white laces, it is funny how the past has caught up with me.  I believe that both Bam and I grew up loving the Ska Punk scene (circa 90’s) of So. Cal. and the style that was present then emulates from the designs and colors of that era. Below is a great song from the past that will play along nicely with this post.

I have to say that this line is paired with great wovens, jackets, and denim that really give this collection a well rounded look.

Studio coffee table, inspiration all around, and semi-rimless is always a good look.

For the last few posts we have been focused on French food, Paris, and Editorial from the region. Yesterday we had the pleasure of crossing paths with Theophilus London who hails from Brooklyn, NY here at the Oliver Peoples showroom. We have done a few posts on his music and creative videos, currently he has been hustling around the globe performing, writing and producing music for his upcoming album.  I have been following Theo now for the last year or so, if you have not downloaded his mixtape you are really missing out.
