One of this generation’s most influential artists, Virgil Abloh not only redesigned pop culture AND high fashion, he merged them in ways never done before. As a result, in his too-short life this soft-spoken sage basically redesigned the way the human race thinks. @virgilabloh @off___white #TuTchT #TuTchTImaging #ThruTuTchTEyes #VirgilAbloh #ElevatingArtists #LoJoWerkz #WorldChangingImpact #Offwhite #LouisVuitton #gonetoosoon https://www.instagram.com/p/CW4Ev8rv56s/?utm_medium=tumblr

For those unaware… This is paraphrased from a post by actor @Mechadbrooks, one of MANY people across the globe whose eyes are on Oklahoma today: The first picture is of Julius Jones, an innocent mind who’s served 21 years for a crime he did not commit. New evidence, a poorly prepared attorney, witnesses at the scene who present problems for the prosecution’s case and an alibi with several credible sources to back it up. 21 years. 21. #JuliusJones has suffered enough. The next photo is of “our” Oklahoma governor, Kevin Stitt, (always a painful admittance) who has it within his power to save Julius’ life. We are not strangers to the devastating toll of an inequitable justice system. And anyone who acts as if justice is in a vacuum doesn’t deserve to sit behind that desk. It’s called capital punishment because if you don’t have the capital, you get the punishment. Call #GovernorStitt of @Oklahoma and ask him to grant #JuliusJones clemency. His case should be retired if we want to have faith in our justice system in the future. 405-521-2342. Please Call Today. His execution is scheduled for 4pm CST. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWa2VRpFiCQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

HARRY UZOKA REMEMBRANCE DAY . I’ve always loved this fashion film Harry did in 2015 because it captures his innate ability to simultaneously (and very comfortably) embody both Class and his joyful brand of Goofiness. This joint was created and shot by renowned fashion luminary Rankin for his Hunger Magazine/HungerTV. Hair by Brady Lea and Grooming by Oonah Anderson. HungerTV Fashion Editor was Chris Benns, assistance by Alessia Vanini. I took my editing cues from the original video edited by Remi Laudat. . Your head was, indeed, often in the clouds, brother; not only because you gave constant quarter to your dreams and the dreams of others, but because you often brought Heaven down to Earth when you entered a room. Your contagious, bubbling joy is sorely missed, bro! Thank You for spreading so much of it during your too few years here with us. . @harryuzoka @hungermagazine @rankinarchive @reminhoo #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #HarryUzoka #RememberingHarry #HungerMagazine #HungerTV #Rankin #RemiLaudat #TopMaleModels #TheEleventh #KingUzoka #HeadintheClouds #HarryUzokaTuTchT #HarryUzokaRemembranceDay #HarryUzokaForever https://www.instagram.com/p/CMTDDNtBl1f/?igshid=1dyy0oj729z9n

VALENTINES DAY . DEVON CULTURE (PT III of III) It’s kinda become a tradition around here to post the fam @DevonCulture on Valentine’s Day. Any of ya’ll remember 5 years ago when I posted Devon covering the classic 1937 Rodgers and Hart song “My Funny Valentine?” Here’s a repost of that brilliance along with an even stronger updated arrangement he recorded last year. You’re welcome, lovers. . Although I still consider him one of the greatest “slept on” voices of this generation, awareness of his incredible gifts have been steadily growing. In the past handful of years he’s become an in-demand presence within the music industry. He can now add “multiplatinum songwriter” to his list of credits. . Last year Devon recorded a new arrangement of the classic where he really spread his wings as a vocal arranger and background vocal virtuoso. These three posts will give you a taste of the progression of his interpretation of the song… but you’ll also see his skillz have ALWAYS been top notch! . Happy Valentine’s Day!!! (If you’re not following Devon and purchasing his music… start ta clickin’!!!) . @DevonCulture #LoJoWerkz #LoJoWerkzDailyDope #DAILYDOPE #ThruTuTchTEyes #DevonCulture #ValentinesDay #TuTchTValentunes #BestVoicesintheMusicIndustry #RisingStars #JazzStandards #VocalMasters #FalsettoKings #MyFunnyValentine #WhatLoveSoundsLike https://www.instagram.com/p/CLTIZFwh9aT/?igshid=i2inxzi5rnvh

HARRY UZOKA REMEMBRANCE DAY Here’s a Black History Month throwback - HARRY UZOKA at the HISTORIC DSQUARED2 SHOW, MILAN FASHION WEEK F/W14 (Part II) . Part two of a throwback to one of the greatest runway shows in the cannon of all Fashion Weeks. It was January 2013 in Milan and was one of the very few shows in the history of the Fashion Industry to feature an all-black male cast. It was Harry’s first major international show and his skill & joie de vivre were evident as he stood shoulder to shoulder with the top black male models of the world. We miss you, brother! Thank you for leaving so many indelible marks on the souls of all those whose lives you touched. And S/O to all my longtime TuTchTfavs and muses who slayed this show for the ages. . (I tagged the brothers I saw in passing but didn’t do a deep research dive… i KNOW I missed lots. Feel free to tag the models in this historic show.) . @HarryUzoka @dsquared2 . #TuTchT #TuTchTIMAGING #ThruTuTchTEyes #HarryUzoka #RememberingHarry #Timelesswalks #dsquared #TopMaleModelsofColor #BlackHistory #BlackFashionHistory #AllBlackMaleCast #BlackBoyJoy #HarryUzokaRemebranceDay #HarryUzokaTuTchT #TuTchTMuses #HarryUzokaForever https://www.instagram.com/p/CLLUbiRBEkp/?igshid=1hdpn7nvymk8j
