�Keep it monotone � no dark denim shirt with a faded denim pant; it splits the body apart and can make you look shorter. I like wearing a really fitted jacket buttoned up as if it were a shirt, which you can balance out with flared jeans on the bottom rather than skinny ones. It’s a tailored, unified look.�

How are the commuters treating you?
�Surprisingly hospitably. We had May Kwok do a magic-hour DJ set in the shop, and people actually stopped to dance. When we first met with our investors, they were like, �You’re gonna get robbed blind.� Especially since we’re selling expensive things, like limited-edition golden skateboards ($241) and one-of-a-kind bags made
out of Starter jackets ($400), but we’ve had almost zero theft. No rats. No dust. No unexpected noise. It would
be a bummer if the MTA shuts down the L trains between Manhattan and Brooklyn, but we’re already planning on being in ten other locations by then.�

�I put two of these Ruhling wall hangings ($189) over my bed. I like using textiles on the wall because they reflect and capture light in a cool, unexpected way.�
