A little while back I got the opportunity to do a shoot for Lexington Standard, a boutique in the Mission (SF). Tbh, I hadn’t heard of the store before the shoot, but for good reason. Because now that I’ve seen it, I officially want EVERYTHING they have behind those doors… Like literally, suck that bone dry it’s so good. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 So good that I have to put it on blast here. While most stuff is at a higher price point, their sister store Aggregate Supply (also in the Mission) is a bit more affordable. 💸👌🏼
What got me so interested in participating in the shoot in the first place was not only the uber sweet owner, Mark, but the vision he had for the look book, and message he wanted to send to the world. The theme for their SS ’17 look book was “real couples,” especially those in the LGBTQ community. 👉🏼🙋🏼👈🏼 They wanted to show real relationships and real people of alllll different shapes, sizes, sexualities, race etc, and tell that story, and their story, to a larger audience. Hoping to spread love, tolerance, equality and inclusiveness (especially in this time of conflict), how could I not want to be a part of the project is the better question! 😍👭👬🏳️🌈
My second half refused to do the shoot (she’s all for the message, but not so much for the camera) so here I am, all by my lonesome 😭, but hey… at least I got the 70s decade though! ✌🏼🌼🌿 Everything I wore was divine, as was the night spent with this crew. The only thing left is convincing them to let me keep all these clothes!!!! 😜🙏🏼🙏🏼👕👖👗
I highly suggest popping into Lexington Standard for yourself (3469 18th St), but you can also shop online.
