Cool in the Cold Pt. 2

Its always interesting to see how style shifts during the winter months. Some people completely lose their essence during this time especially being in the south. However, Miss Tasha here does not have that problem. Most of the appeal for me in this look is centered around her coat and how it is cut. The fit is great as it is slightly tapered at the waist and accented with a belt! Also, the Jordan 7 "Raptors"were a nice step outside of the box given the weather.

Cool in the Cold Pt.1

This dapper young gent goes by the name of Trey. He has been featured on the Pasture before and we felt this look was definitely worth another one. The lace swap in his boots is really eye catching and was a great accent to his tie. Also, you can never go wrong with leather gloves and your peacoat when the temperature drops. 

IXTH Pasture x Wake TV

Earlier this month we were given the opportunity to work with a good friend of ours in the mass communications department at Wake Forest University. Our good friend @CorvayaJ is the co-host of a fashion segment on Wake-TV called "Wake Up Your Style". We were called in to give a little insight as to what men should wear to stay warm in the colder months of the year and remain stylish. The photo above is from our initial meet up to learn more about the structure of the show and refine the topic we would discuss. More photos of this particular journey on the other side.

Militant Chic Feat. MC Lyte

About two weeks ago it was homecoming at our beloved university. It is always an interesting time to be on campus because something special often occurs everyday. We had the pleasure of spending sometime with hip hop legend MC Lyte during her visit where she gave a lecture, spoken word performance, and book signing to our student body. She is extremely humble and the overall experience was amazing. During our interaction I inquired about her studded blouse as I thought it was a unique take on the camouflage trend sweeping the world of fashion right now. Often camo pieces do not lend themselves to being feminine but this blouse was well cut and the studs added just enough flare. Also, her heels were leather with two buckles around the ankle which in my eyes was reminiscent of boots so it played into the scheme of the fit well but kept a nice feminine touch to her outfit. The overall outfit was tough and agressive but was definitely still put together in a way that was fashionable and feminine. Check out more photos of the event after the jump.

Back 2 the Future

This bundle of joy is named Jashanta! She is an up and coming model from North Carolina and its great to be able to feature her at this point in here career. We wish he much success in her future endeavors. Now, I love the dress shes wearing in this shot. It is either a vintage piece or inspired by a vintage piece and we can see this in the cut of the shoulders. I also loved the way she paired it with a contemporary shoe. I always love to how people add personal flair to older pieces. Well done love, well done....

Fall-ing

I took this shot of my good friend Dustin outside of the library. We just left a meeting and he was in mid-conversation about God knows what at this point. Nevertheless, he was well dressed for what ever conversation he was having. The overall tone was perfect as comes into full swing. Also, I really believe that we will see a lot of green trouser selection this fall and that's just a hunch but he was is on trend with that as well. He went with a oxblood tassel loafer which was also a stand out piece as it complimented the deep red in his paisley tie. Everything was capped by him carrying a traditional briefcase which has often been replaced by duffel bags and other gaudy items these days. I won't rant about my feelings on those items today but I will say that everything fell into place with this outfit and it shows.

Nostalgia

I do not believe you guys have met Trey! He is one of my closest friends and cabinet members for this school year. Nevertheless, we had to tie up some school related ends in Chapel Hill and Durham this weekend and he killed the game with this one. The colors were beautifully distributed throughout this fit .... needless to say there is something nostalgic about a blue blazer and gold buttons.  - Dave.
