WHAT SWAG IS I was born in the South Bronx. I have one brother and three sisters. We lived in shelters and navigating the housing system. My mom made our clothes from scratch. Her father was a tailor. She knew fabrics, she knew texture. “Don’t just go by the brand.” She was big on instilling in us that we were more than what we had in our pockets. She was big on making sure we weren’t Frankensteined together. That’s what swag is.

LIKE STOCKS I watch sales like stocks. I watch them to the point where they practically can’t find the other shoe, which is another reason to go shopping on Sunday, because it’s chill, it’s more relaxed. One of the stores to go to is Scotch & Soda. They make the best denim at a good price.
