The Fashionista Bandit

. 2/24/09

Look at this kid.Movie waiting to happen.. mark my words. This child is gonna be the hottest thing in about a minute. I just read Kevahn's story in New York Magazine and i was blown away.. this is genius on the sidelines.. Kevahn is a 18 year old boy serving a three year stint in Rocker's for repeated offenses: Shoplifting! But listen the circumstances in this young kid live drove him to be like a maniac high style, shoplifter.. he got fashionista in his blood:
When I ask about his plans for after he gets out of prison, all he wants to talk about is fashion, firing questions at me: "Who does Dior now?" "Who designs Paul Smith?" "Remember Louis Vuitton? Like, a few seasons ago, he did a SpongeBob theme? You know Louis Vuitton started off making trunks, right? In the 1800s?" "Balenciaga, who does it for women's?" He pauses to learn how to correctly pronounce Nicolás Ghesquière's name. "You know that Yves Saint Laurent died, right? At 71 years old. He's the first person, the first designer, to have black people model his clothing." A burly Department of Corrections captain is supervising our visit, and I've been imagining his disdain as he listens to this conversation. Now he interrupts. "He could be good working for a fashion publicist," he says. "That's something I can see you at, right there.”

This kid deserves to learn the consequences of his actions but i also believe this kid will overcome this and change his life, hopefully someone can overcome the faults and mentor to him for something better.This is some fancy, Haute couture future entrepreneur
