Street style: DAVID

DAVID

DAVID

Occupation: Professional poker player
My style: Eclectic.
Deciding what to wear: My wardrobe is skewed towards fall, and suit jackets and sports jackets. In summer I just kind of schlep around, wearing whatever.
Where I shop: I live near Kensington Market, so I like going to vintage shops. And I like Club Monaco.
Hat #1: Montreal Expos. Vintage. It matches with my outfit. It’s a friend’s hat.
Hat #2: I’m just going up to the cottage, and I’m waiting for a ride from my friends, so it’s just kind of my beach hat.
Sunglasses: I just picked them up in Kensington Market for five bucks the other day. I was like, “Yeah, yeah!” I like the mirrors. I just like the whole idea of mirror glasses. They’re pretty hilarious.
Shirt: The shirt’s country-western. Very versatile. It’s a fun shirt.
Shorts: These are Club Monaco shorts. They’re classic, and they’re really functional. I love the pockets.
Footwear: They were cheap — $5 dollars from H&M. The support’s not very good, but they’re great for just schlepping around.
Interests: Playing poker, sailing, DJing, creating beats and sounds. My roommate is a DJ. We DJ our own parties and stuff like that.
How I got into poker: I won an online qualifier, and I went down to the (poker) series last year, and I won some money.
Favourite music: Classical, indie, Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, etc.
Favourite authors: Noam Chomsky, Peter Singer, Franz Kafka.
TV and Movies: I have a dirty fetish for reality TV. I like art house films.
Favourite food: Gnocchi (dumplings), pizza.
Style advice: Just rock it with respect and do your own shit.

Street style: KUMY

KUMY

KUMY

Occupation: Singer, dancer
My style: I like dressing in a way that makes it easy for people to remember me. Making a connection with someone is the most precious thing.
Deciding what to wear: When I wake up in the morning, I decide on the colour first. White, or green, or orange… I like vivid colours.
Favourite colour to wear: Green, because it’s the most natural colour.
Sunglasses: My friend gave them to me.
Earrings: I bought them at an African festival for twenty bucks. They were calling to me.
T-shirt: I got it in Japan.
Watch: I like bling bling. I always wear bling bling stuff.
Bracelets: If I don’t wear any, it feels like something’s missing.
Shorts: I want to have darker skin in the summer, so I always wear short pants.
Shoes: They’re so cute! I bought them in Toronto, on Queen Street. When I first saw them, I couldn’t forget them. The next day, I went to the same shop and I got them. They have pictures of candy on them.
Bag: I like it because it has so many colours.
Interests: Singing, dancing, playing sports, scuba diving, art, photography.
Favourite music: All music, but especially reggae music, because I’m a reggae dancer.
Favourite food: Japanese food. Sushi.
In the future: I want to keep singing. I want people to be happy because of my singing.
Final words: Every moment happens only once, so I want to enjoy every moment until the day I die.
