Street Etiquette : We are pleased to announce that we were featured in the New York Times Thursday Style section in a multi page article titled ‘Serious About Cool’, but also the online version of the article “Pushing The Boundaries of Black Style‘. We want to graciously thank everyone who has supported us thus far from every aspect of the spectrum. The article has been very well received being placed in the ‘Top 5 most emailed articles of the day‘ over at the Times and a nod to our relentless web server for holding on to its dear life. The most vital point about the piece is less about us, and more on the topic of encouraging others in pursuing your own innate passion.
“The New York Times Style section gives an in-depth look at the rise of lifestyle bloggers Street Etiquette in a recent article titled “Pushing The Boundaries Of Black Style.” The stylish duo of Travis Gumbs and Joshua Kissi are profiled for their contributions to realm of men’s fashion from an African American perspective as well as the new multi-faceted fashion identity of the modern black man. Excepts of the article can be seen below while the article in its entirety can be seen here.”

I love the feature however I missed the memo which stated that black style had ‘boundaries’. So many of us have been dressing in a non traditional sense of style way before Kanye and entertainers of the like with their own personal stylist(s) came into the picture…
With that said, I LOVE watching you two win.

Congrats guys,
As an undercover follower of your blog, I’m glad to see the publicity you deserve come to you…but it is bittersweet in that the rich resource of cutting edge fashion info is now open to all, and not my secret trove.
cheers!

Hello, just became aware of your werbsite due to a facebook posting of the NY Times article. Reading the article and viewing Street Etiquette shook me to my core — the images, styling and fashions are so visual stunning and absolutely soul stirring. I’m a female located in the midwest (Detroit), I’m now adding Street Etiquette to my fashion reads — a go to place for cultural knowledge, historical retrospectives and unique creative inspiration.

Great photos but I don’t see the boundaries. I’ve been wearing narrow pants, vintage guayaberas, tattoos, earplugs and a knotted bandana around my neck for years.
posted on August 19 , 2011 :
I came here because of the New York Times article and spent a couple of hours looking through all your back posts with increasing astonishment… I love what you are doing here!

“The most vital point about the piece is less about us, and more on the topic of encouraging others in pursuing your own innate passion.”
I respectfully disagree. The most vital point of the piece was that it introduced us to you. Some of us desperately need you.
Happy to know you,
Amy

Thank you, Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs!! Finally, even more of a push for a return to young men dressing with dignity instead of continuing to glorify negative stereotypes and issue trashy messages about themselves. That “pants-on-the-ground” mentality is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO old and backwards! Thank you for encouraging men to have pride about themselves and dress like GENTLEMEN again!! All the best to you, always.

posted on August 23 , 2011 :
I’m glad on the your respective success, but I don’t know why this has to be labelled “black style” just because the two guys involved happen to be black…why can;t it just be called pushing the boundaries of style? Also, the article almost comes across as suggesting that before you, all of us niggers were wearing jordans and fucking rocawear…congrats though

This blog is definitely representative of the African-American culture. Indeed, why confine the Black Style into a small corner when it deserves to have a place in the world? Fashion identity of the blacks has always been filled with stereotypes. These guys are so amazing in igniting a cultural revolution. The stunning images are visually captivating. How could mens fashion exist without you? Thank you for bringing dynamism to the entire fashion world.
