Honorable MENtions: Fighting Injustice With A Suit
Her Majesty’s Secret Service agent codenamed 007 fights terrorists, narcissistic lunatics, and femme fatales, all while looking great in a two-button Tom Ford suit. During the day, the ever-so brooding billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne prefers a two-button Giorgio Armani suit while at night, changes into an armored bat suit. For CEO Andrew Park, however, fighting the injustices of human and sex trafficking requires a whole new different suit, a custom-tailored Urbane + Gallant Suit.

The Trinity Knot
If you want to get tied up in learning something, learn to tie various tie knots. So ditch the usual Windsor knot and try something new: The Triquetra known commonly as “The Trinity Knot.”
Going to church with this style of tie knot next time.
Freedom and Fashion’s (FnF) Ceremony Runway Show was a night about celebrating hope and redemption, and the organization has a lot to celebrate! Now in its fourth year, Freedom and Fashion has grown to over 50+ volunteers, has 4 fully produced fashion shows under its belt, and has put on several smaller events during the year (including the Gallant Suits Launch Party during Fall 2012 LA Fashion Week). More importantly, its name is reaching across fashion and entertainment circles, as well as non-profit and activist sectors as well. The American public can’t help but talk about the grave issue of modern-day slavery because it is a hot topic in movies like End of Watch and TV shows like Law and Order: SVU, as well as Obama’s recent proclamation to end human trafficking.
The runway is one of Freedom and Fashion’s answer to end slavery! Inspiring positive change, 400+ guests were treated to several ethically made and fair trade clothing lines on the runway, which included looks from Feliks + Adrik, Radiant Cosmetics, Jatalo, Della, Sevenly, A-Thread, The Brave Collection, Senhoa, and Indigenous. After the show, guests took their purchasing power to the open vendor market just outside of the fashion show space, where they purchased clothes, accessories, and items from these Freedom and Fashion-approved brands.

Been with Freedom and Fashion since 2009! Can’t believe it’s time to say farewell and focus on seminary and my ministry. I learned a lot and grew a lot from my experiences there.
Thank you bro! I think you deserve Convivial Gentleman’s Sunday Best award. Great color combo, handkerchief, and tie bar. #ootd #mensfashion #menswear #instafashion #fashion #style
