Philosophie Vestimentaire - Xavier T. Morwe

The innovation and creativity of my friends has always intrigued me. Evidence abounds that Hip-Hop will forever reign in street culture especially with people like A$AP Rocky in the scene. I took some time and had word intercourse with one "Prince de Bohême" I've been keeping an eye on for quite a while. The way he plays around with his outfits is near life's worth. This is only the genesis.

LS: What baffles me is your sense of style. Especially for someone who is in the army.  When did you discover your love for style?
