You Should Know: Jon Buscemi

by Christie Grimm · March 14, 2016

    Jon Buscemi has got the ultra luxury, ultra cool accessories market locked down. Literally. No doubt you've seen his eponymous line's signature gold lock detailing rocked by the crème de la crème of streetwear icons, from Kanye West to Jourdan Dunn. Hence, his intimidatingly cool demeanor, which, not going to lie, has had us questioning our own cool clout as of late. Are we as cool as Jon? That would be an impossible 'no.' Are we cool enough to pull off one of his Aero Backpacks? We'll give that a possible 'possibly.'
