Paris - Fall Lineup

Calvin Klein known for his flaire of style out to shock you with some fabulous pieces of work. Using very high quality fabrics with vibrant colours, Klein not only wants to make heads turn, but give the impression of excitement.



Here Tariq is wearing a 100% cotton shirt, with a dark brown cashmere sport jacket. The glasses are compliments of Klein's old friend Giorgio Armani.





Again, being the deceptive devious person that I am, none of the above clothes are CK. The black shirt is really Hugo Boss, jacket by Tip Top (they make good jackets). The tie my mom bought for my birthday. The glasses are $10 from a gas station. It's not worth it for me to buy nice glasses because I have a notorious habit for wrecking/losing them. I'll either scratch it if the lens is sensitive, or I'll throw them in the seat of my car, and sit on them... Once mountain biking my $150 Oakley's (I bought them just so I could talk to the girl at the counter :) ) fell off (in a massive crash) and I was on the road going home and suddenly realized I left them in the grass at the BMX park. Luckily they were still there (a few weeks later I broke the frame, and the lens is scratched). Awesome glasses though.


A few years have passed, there's 4 years between the picture on the left and the picture on the right. Thought it would be interesting to see if I changed much. My skin has a lot more colour to it now that I'm living in California, I also work out four to five times a week, so the 22-23 year old me on the left is 155lbs, the me now on the right is 170lbs. I was actually up to 180lbs for awhile, a lot of it was fat though, I'm just trying to gain as much mass as possible till I can arm curl with 100lbs and then trim out.

CK does make good stuff, but it's hella expensive. It's worth buying an expensive shirt if it's going to last. But if it won't last, and/or no one can recognize what label it is, what's the point. Though I did pick up a real funky CK shirt in Seattle once in Nordstroms, this is the only CK wear that I have (the vest is from Randy River in Canada)
