Gabriele (top) and Daniel (bottom) were visiting from Italy. As soon as I stopped them, they said they had a question for me: they wanted to know where they could find some techno music or a rave, but I couldn't help them.
I asked Gabriele about his shoes, which he called "alternative sneakers".
What does "alternative" mean?Gabriele: Something that somebody else would look at but not buy.
Daniel has been a model and works for Dolce & Gabbana on the retail end. (I asked him about his technique: "I get into your mind and I convince you that you want it.") He wasn't happy with Americans' sense of style: "I'm disgusted with their fashion here."
Daniel: Here people don't know how to mix their style. Sometimes people dress well...But then their shoes, it's like, "What the fuck?"
Gabriele said he thought Americans were too conservative in the way they dress. He and Daniel agreed: it wasn't bad to occasionally miss as long as you were trying something new.
Gabriele: You make a lot of fucked up things before you get what you want.
I awed over Gabriele's hair a little, explaining that I'd never seen anything like it. It was closely cropped on top, but on the bottom half of the back of his head there were little dreads.
