Video Sidewalk Style: All (Bow) Tied Up

We stopped a dapper gay-rights activist and party promoter who looked fab in a bright bow tie.

By Lucia Abramovich ,   Alejandro Salinas   Published Friday, September 11, 2009

“To really make people remember you, fashion is important,” says Human Rights Campaign employee Joseph Gaskins, whom we spotted near Logan Circle. The first thing that caught our attention: Gaskins’s purple polka-dot bow tie and loud lime green boat shoes.

“What I really enjoy most are classic pieces with interesting details,” he says. Check out our video below to see Gaskins’s casual yet sharp summer look. Does he pull it off? Leave your thoughts in the comments section.
