Michael Kalonji at London Collections Men

Styles Rocker: Really! You are an authentically talented; stylist, model and designer extraordinaire. Like me, you wear many hats; fedora hats, that is. Purported Fashion Week fashionista who could not be bothered to show up at Mens Fashion Week aka London Collections Men; must be cringing in their boots now. Yes, please!  They are missing that smashing fedora; the rugged Crème de la Crème, of the moment. If the hierarchy fail to award this sartorial miracle it an accolade its because they have lost their marbles, I mean their spectacles.  LCM SS17

er Styles Rocker:…Those elements are also my burning passion. Just by checking out your style, it is clear that we have something HUGE in common. However, to say that I’m a BIG fan of Rock, and Fashion would be a BIG understatement…

Michael:…So I’m just trying to combine the two things. Yeah! That’s it!

er Styles Rocker: That combination is a match made in heaven, clearly. You are more than a prolific stylist; you are the sartorial cupid. Admittedly, I am highly intrigued to discover the fashion labels you are actually rocking. Fedora first, please.
