Fashion Killa Of The Day: Charles Smith From Milwaukee

www.donbleek.com‘s “Fashion Killa of the Day” is Charles Smith from Milwaukee.

Name: Charles Smith | IG @Charles.Smith414

Age: 23

Reppin: Milwaukee

Occupation: I am an educator. I teach 5th and 6th grade reading and language arts.

Career Goal: I want to become a dean of students, then eventually transition into the principal role. Outside of teaching, I want to take the impact of my style to new heights in my city.

What are some of your favorite fashion brands: Lease of Life Society, Balmain, Givenchy, Saint Laurent, Honor Raleigh,  Babylon Cartel, Raf Simons, REP JC Clothing and Alexander Wang.

What are some of your favorite shopping stores or boutiques: I’m a big thrifter. I find a lot of nice things at thrift shops. That’s where I do the majority of my shopping. I also like Revive, SSENSE, and Jimmy Jazz.

Your Fashion Influences Are: Myself, Ronnie Fieg, Jacob Keller, Kanye West, Pharrell Williams, JD from Raleigh Clothing, Lano Brown, Riccardo Tisci, Gianni Lee, Rick Owens, Swizz Beatz and A$AP Rocky. I draw inspiration from everywhere honestly. I just enjoy the way certain individuals step out the box and dream through what they wear. It says a lot about how you view life.

Describe your style: You don’t know what you’re going to be, but you can’t avoid it. It’s imminent! You might get a suit, tie and some Cole Hannes one day and then a biker denim with Alexander Wang tee shirts the next day. I also like joggers with Air Jordan’s. I wear that I want. I might wear the same kicks for a week straight and just change my clothes. In 2015, I am going for more of a simplistic look. I want to embrace a lot of black, white, grey, tan and off white this year.

Favorite Brand of sneakers: Air Jordan’s and Hi Top Air Forces One’s.
