Hispanic Heritage Month: How Rob Garcia Is Using His Heritage and Personal Interests to Inform His Professional Pursuits

Rob Garcia is an endless source of energy. Someone finding his Instagram account for the first time may think he’s either a tennis player or a trail runner, having to scroll through endless photos of sport and adventure before finding his professional pursuits. Garcia is one of the most accomplished figures in streetwear today and wears many hats — mostly creative director and designer — at different prominent labels. He is arguably most well known for En Noir, a company with a darker aesthetic and higher-end pricing that produces in small batches, which launched in 2012. Garcia is also involved with Black Scale, a company he called a true streetwear brand. It was founded in 2007 by Garcia’s friend Michael “Mega” Yabut and his partner Alfred De Tagle, out of the iconic Huf boutique in San Francisco, and Garcia joined early on.

Image
Aoki Lee Simmons is fashion royalty—after all, what else could one be when their mom is Kimora Lee Simmons ? However, the 19-year-old is a full force in her own right, having led a successful modeling career. Did we mention that she’s also a junior at Harvard University? Between attending college classes and walking runways for brands like Pyer Moss , Aoki found time to create a new fashion collection for affordable fashion brand JustFab. In a way, it’s a homecoming; the label was founded by her mom in 2010, who left five years later to develop her own high-end line. However, the new collection — aptly titled the Reboot Collection — is entirely Aoki’s own. The line includes numerous pieces inspired by the teenager’s classic style, including cropped cardigans, ruffled shift dresses and tweed separates that can be mixed and matched. Shoe-wise, it also includes a wide range of versatile heeled ankle boots, mules and pumps in a black, white and red color palette. Many are shoes Aoki hers
