Who: Rashad Muhammad, 21
Graphic-design student
How would you describe your style?
“Urban professional. I always pay attention to what I wear, and sometimes—like today—I just like to dress it up.”
What do you have on today?
“A blazer and a skinny tie from a thrift store that doesn’t exist anymore, an Express shirt and pants, an H&M hat and bag, and Steve Madden shoes.”
What’s your thrift-store-shopping strategy?
“If I find something that I like and it happens to fit, I get it. Or if it doesn’t fit, I make sure it’s bigger so I can get it tailored smaller.”
Where do you get your clothes tailored?
“Luckily, I have friends who will sew for me.”
What do you do besides graphic design?
“I’m a photography minor, and I run the photo lab.”
Brooke says:
The fur hat is Rashad’s trademark, and today he looked especially sharp in dark dress clothes and a crisp gray blazer. I’d call this look “Eskimo chic”—perfect for dreary Washington winters.
