le tigre

sighted: ihop (international house of pancakes), shaw ave., fresno, california, 1:30 a.m. saturday 29 september 2007.

we've never seen this kind of super stylin' in fresno before, let alone at ihop in the wee hours of a weekend morning. his eclectic mix of colors and prints (a noted trend for runway fashionistas this season) do not overwhelm because of his expertly chosen 'base' of denim and white. he styled his nike's himself, and rather expertly we might add. he made us smile when he unveiled those jazzy 'tigger'-like stripes on his ankles. thank goodness we had a midnight pancake craving.
