“Fashion moves a lot,” Arsed Nikaj, 26, said while discussing his style and the outfit he was wearing on the late-summer Tuesday in August when our paths crossed in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. A model born in Albania and raised in Italy, he was out with a friend (another model) taking pictures to post on social media ahead of New York Fashion Week in September.
His clothes were relaxed, but particular: tailored blazer, boot cut jeans, dress shirt opened wide at the collar to show off a combination of necklaces. It was the type of look that could just as easily fit in on the streets of New York or Milan now as it could in a decade or more — which, he explained, was sort of the point.
“I think it’s actually a style that never gets old,” he said. “Every year is different. But there is some stuff that never changes. This style is something that everybody kind of likes.”
