Yes? Ooh, perfect, that's all I wanted to hear. You might have noticed I published a little less, or not? 😨
You didn't? Perhaps you have been outdoors more because you love to watch the blossoms on the trees. 😢
I just don't understand how people can prefer being outdoors instead of inside reading a great blog post about things like men's fashion and fashion stylists, or anything else. 😧
Ok, I admit, if the weather would have been better in Belgium, I might have been outside more too. What's not to like about a cool drink underneath a parasol? 😎
Hey, hey, guess what? You can totally grab your trusty laptop and join the fun as we dive into the super-duper interview with my fresh and fabulous fashion stylist! 😁
No excuses, buddy! If you want to know all the cool stuff, go explore these style secrets with me! 😏
Let's dig in and discover the hippest men's style secrets together! 😍

What is your name, function and the company you work for?
Reginald Ferguson, Owner/Founder: New York Fashion Geek.
How old are you?
I’m in my late 40s.
What kind of work do you do or what are you studying to be?
I’m a Men’s Fashion Consultant.
What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?
The short version: I was helping a friend of mine upgrade his look. Over Thai food (my payment at the time), he asked me if I could “Do this for real, would I do it?” I said, “I guess.” He offered to create my website and the rest was history.
Is fashion important to you? Why?
It absolutely is. Because clothing is communication and no matter what people say, they judge you so be at your best.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them?
Launching my Men’s fashion consultancy and seeing it grow, slowly but surely. Through hard work, luck and prayer.
What’s something you might want to do in the future?
Write for a Men’s fashion magazine or blog. I definitely have something to say.
Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing or jewelry?
No. The quality is what matters.
Describe your personal style of fashion?
Well, that question is contradictory because you have style and you have fashion. They are not equivalent. My personal style is classic menswear during the week and a prep/HipHop melange on the weekend. All through an African American New York City lens.
How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look?
Through time, trial and error. My signature look.

In what way do you influence other people’s fashion style?
I’m not sure if I influence anyone’s fashion or style but I certainly raise the bar high based on my appearance.
What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?
I like the resurgence of the 80s/90s style since it was my era. I especially love seeing Zers rocking concert t-shirts and wondering if they know the music of the artist.
What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?
Some semblance of a dress shoe top (oxford, wingtip) with a white sneaker bottom. Yuck.
What kind of fashion advice would you give us?
Know your dimensions. There is no excuse not to know your sizes. I’ve known them since grade school (though they have changed).
Who is your style icon, and why?
My late Grandfather. He was my direct male example. He taught me how to tie a tie, he taught me how to shine my shoes (heck, he taught me how to shine my shoes). He epitomized classic menswear and my foundation is from him. Thank you Grandpa.
Is there something else you would like to share with us?
Always be fly.
