Young man wearing white sunglasses and green shirt with white vest and white pants, holding a Fendi shopping bag, standing on a balcony at night with colorful neon lights in the background.

Not with a fizzle, but with a bigger bang. Hello 2025.

First 24 hours of the new year

  • Two men are celebrating a special occasion at night, holding sparklers with a lit candle on the ground. One man is wearing a green shirt, white pants, sunglasses, and a Fendi towel, while the other is wearing a striped shirt.

    Not technically past midnight, but this was what we were wearing.

  • At 12:30 AM, there were still a lot of fireworks.

  • Two men standing on a wooden balcony surrounded by a wooded hillside, smiling for a photo. One man is wearing black sunglasses, a black shirt, gray pants, and carrying a large patterned bag, while the other man is wearing a white cap, dark gray t-shirt, black shorts, and holding a phone.

    New year was spent spontaneously driving to a mountain city. The whole year wouldn't be spontaneous but more mindful. And deliberate. And living slower.

  • A sunset with partially cloudy sky and sunlight peeking through clouds over a silhouette of trees and a playground area.

    The first sunset of 2025. It wasn't mindblowing, but it was something.

  • Fire burning on a pile of logs inside a stone fire pit at night.

    This fire was so captivating I had to capture it. I guess I was captivated by things burning sometimes.

  • A young man in a striped shirt sitting in a wooden armchair against a wooden wall, with a Louis Vuitton bag on his lap, holding a phone in his right hand. To his left, a wooden table holds a white lantern, twoglass vases with red berries and a single white candle, and behind him, two colorful paintings are hanging on the wall.

    I had to change shirt because comfort and peace of mind were priorities. Would they be good themes for new year?

This style technique allows you to match clothes you’ve worn before. It’s a great chance for reinvention. And looking at your clothes in a different light.
