Maharaj says the departure wasIntentional. “We jump around for two daysIn the sun,It’s very hot, we’reIn the middle of the planet,” he said. “I understand the reasoning for a two piece or a one piece, or basically something that could allow you to be able to not die of heat and collapse on the road. However,I do think thatIt’s a very narrow book or narrow column to writeIn.”The Washing, designed by Peter Elias and Jeneile McCarthy, looks like something Wakandan royalty might wear to a mas.

He took nonchalant sips from a red Solo cup, mesmerizingly comfortableIn his anonymity.At that time,I viewed the moment as eccentric and kooky. Who wears a balaclavaIf they’re notIn the arctic or planning a heist? Though balaclavas also known as skI'masks have been popular for a long timeIn frigid locales such as Eastern and Northern Europe, they weren’t as commonIn a city like New York. But perhaps their

relative out of placenessIs what made them a great candidate for trend forward New York style. Colorful, striped balaclavas like the ones sold by Marni and Ella Emhoff catches your eye, but also obscures theIdentity of the wearer.It places all your attention on the clothes, not the person.
