JKISSI : Recently we had the great opportunity of being interviewed by The Supermelon , a great fashion site that caters predominately to females. Since they have spawned their Real Style feature I have always been a fan of reading various interviews just to pick the brain of the individuals. We are nothing short of honored to be the first males to be interviewed by the site , it has been a great experience. Never has there been a time where both I and Travis are being asked questions that could give you possible hints for our future. We discussed everything from the start up of Street Etiquette to how being from The Bronx effects our mindset. It has been a long journey exactly one year since Street Etiquette has existed and I must say it feels great. We want to thank everyone for even checking out site and commenting we will always be grateful. Special thanks to The Supermelon and their whole staff for the interview. Definitely more to come.

We would greatly appreciate if you guys could just drop some good words on the interview page
Congratulations!
I really enjoyed this interview. I love that you guys are doing something different compared to some many other US bloggers, you certainly brighten up my blog roll.
That’s a good look right there…You guys always seem to be doing something big…I’m sure your both busy with work/school…I’m still looking forward for a NYC shopping list along with a blog entry on accessories
Congrats fellas!
You guys are really making some strides! so proud of you <3
Congratulations guys! I foresee more interviews like this in the future. I’ll definitely check the blog for more updates.
You know it, Josh
Trav, my favorite is when you’re in the white oxford and khaki pants and sand boots.
I just looked at the interview and saw a few pages of the archives. I think it’s great that you guys are trying to change perceptions of a place you love. I live on the west, so I can say that a lot of what I know isn’t from experience but from people like you. It’s so nice to see a blog by two stylish people with their own ethos and set of ambitions.
Reading this interview, I’m more inspired to run out and shoot for 72 hours straight…ok, I know that’s physically impossible but I digress. Oh, and Josh and Trav, if you guys are worried about the Bx being in the bottom of the barrel style wise, here’s some uplifting news for you, The Bronx is #3 by default, Queens and Staten Island are in the basement…and in that order….
Seriously…how is Queens in the basement???
LL Cool J and Run DMC both hail from queens, and inspired hip hop fashion since the 80′s.
What has Brooklyn ever done to influence fashion?
great interview..
i didn’t trav was into tailoring and design.
or a life guard, i think thats dope!
(get from behind the scenes man! lol)
i like that you guys are reppin’ for the “bx”
im from NY, i have some cousins from soundview.
so already know all about the bad parts of the bronx,
we had a few episodes up there, lol..
but what i dig more is that you guys are representing for
men period! i honestly can’t think of any mens fashion blogs
that have this home-made cooking feel, that street etiquette
so well portrays!
congrats on the interview.. looking forward to the product you guys
have coming! keep up the good work.. *salutes!
i have a strong feeling ima bump into you guys at some event or another!
i’ll keep an eye for you guys!
dope interview guys!
I’ll give you Run DMC but LL hasn’t done more for fashion than Jay-Z or Notorious B.I.G. has and both are major fashion influences as well. When most think of Timberland’s and high fashion labels like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren in the 90′s and it’s urban beginnings, Brooklyn is first to come to mind. For better or for worse, Karl Kani even had a good run in the early to mid 90′s and was one of the first (if not the first) to have an urban label which birthed tons of other labels (Sean John, Phat Farm, Rocawear just to name a few) and copy cats.
I’ll take Karl Kani any day over FUBU (lol!). Even now in recent years, Brooklyn is relatively known as the most fashionable borough not named Manhattan. You can go through Williamsburg, Brooklyn Heights, DUMBO or any of the hipster neighborhoods in Brooklyn and you’ll find not only fashionable and trendsetting people but businesses as well. Can you honestly say the same for Queens, outside of L.I.C. or Astoria?
BTW: It’s the birthplace of Michael Jordan. Need I say more?
really making some major moves guys. i love watching the growth!
I agree with JFKjean he just lol crushed goke BK is #1 in my mind Queens hasn’t done anything to be given a stamp of approval. Queens go back to the drawing board!
“JK: The Bronx is the last borough left untainted from any effects of gentrification in New York City.”
it’s sad to see one borough after another go through such a process. At one point, right off the train, it took me a second to recognize a certain corner of Chinatown.
All in all, good interview though!
I admit I took an L….You learn something new everyday
great interview. and such a wonderful blog!
xx tvs.
Great interview! I’m new to this blog so you can give me my late pass now, but I love it!
Wow just found this blog off thesupermelon and I must say I’m impressed 100% you got a new dedicated blog reader here. I can’t stress the fact that a lot of fashion sites are not doing it for me these days , but this one does keep it up!
Congrats guys…
Good interview…
Wow guys the response to the interview has been amazing , all the people who have commented on the Supermelon’s site and here much love and appreciation to you guys.
Jfkjean : I totally agree man lol you already know we had a big convo concerning fashion and the boroughs on twitter.
Goke : Sorry man you did take the L , but it takes a mature man to admit that though lol.
Jack Promises : Thanks for checking us out man!
Squincy : Thanks for the good words my brother , if we’re both on our hustle its meant to be that we will bump into each other one day! yeah soundview is not the best place though lol its all cool though have to embrace it lol
Style Savage Steve : We are big fans of your blog so it means a lot when you say stuff like that. Continue the good work my brother as we will too! Cheers!
Loved the interview with you two. I’m always geeked to see male style bloggers, but from the Bronx too? Man.
A very good look, indeed.
Great interview. Just came across your site and it’s nice to see what you guys have going on here!
