Theophilus London Interview


Recently I posted a couple pictures of Theophilus London with Solange Knowles. He is an amazing style star and was recently interviewed by Style.com. Below you can find bits of his interview and a couple more pictures of Mr. London.  




Style.com:


You have been quoted in an interview saying you aren’t really into fashion, but I don’t believe that. Do you honestly not like fashion, at all?


London:


I have tons of taste and I just got an eye for shit. I will walk into a store and come out with the best five shirts there. In high school, I always dressed to impress the girls. Brooklyn, where I grew up, is a competitive burg—there’s always a pretty boy around the corner there and you gotta look better than him. I love to shop; I’m just not like a fashion guru, though. I didn’t grow up drawing runway models and deciding what they should wear. Also, I couldn’t dress someone else up. Wait, actually, this year I just started [dressing] the band.

You also have a shoe coming out with Cole Haan soon. How closely involved with that are you?


London: 


Actually, I have been on the phone with them like nine times today. The shoe has three different blues—it’s a perfect shoe to wear while you make out with someone in a library. But I am going to make a couple shoes at the end of the month with someone else—I can’t share details though.
