    TRISTAN SANTIAGO

    TRISTAN SANTIAGO

    DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 3 KEY WORDS

    Sensitive, creative, expressive

    WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS CARRY IN YOUR BAG?

    I usually carry at least one of my film cameras, a book, journal, mini sketch book, pens, rolling papers, tips, grinder, portable ashtray, cigarette case, lighter, and as of lately my handycam to document my friends or random things

    FAVORITE SPOT IN LA?

    Cherry Park if we are counting LA County. It’s walking distance from the beach, restaurants, bars, record stores, and the best vintage shops in my opinion

    WHO HAS GREAT STYLE?

    FKA Twigs, Jazzelle Zanaughtti (@uglyworldwide), and Steve Lacy

    WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

    CAPRISONGS by FKA Twigs has been on repeat since it came out. It’s the whole package from every skit to interlude, everything is placed perfectly. Peytie has a fire cover of “It Girl” by

    Bladee. Also, be on the look out for my friends, ANTIMATTR, to drop their new album because it’s going to be crazy and like nothing you’ve ever heard!

    WHERE IN LA WOULD YOU TAKE SOMEONE FOR A DATE?

    I feel like a picnic is always a great date idea especially for the California weather. I would take my date to Echo Park pre covid but since that doesn’t exist Cherry Park back at home in Long Beach

    DREAM VACATION DESTINATION?

    Japan. I only went for a weekend when I was younger and I felt like that wasn’t enough time to eat or shop at all the places I wanted

    LA’S BEST KEPT SECRET?

    Couldn’t say

    WHAT OR WHO IS OVERRATED?

    To be content with where you’re at in life. Stop being comfortable and take as many risks as long as you don’t hurt yourself, anyone, or anything along the way

    TAYY EVANS

    DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 3 KEY WORDS

    Unpredictable, southern, spontaneous

    WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS CARRY IN YOUR BAG?

    I always try to carry a pack of gum, coins for the parking meters, and some cologne

    FAVORITE SPOT IN LA?

    My favorite spot in LA would be this secret outlook in Hollywood Hills where you can chill for hours with friends or by yourself

    WHO HAS GREAT STYLE?

    My great style pyramid would have to consist of Kanye, Nigo, and Tupac

    WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

    I’m listening to a mix of old and new when it comes to music. Preferably I’ll bump music from my region such as Swishahouse, Cash Money, YSL, Lil Snupe and that’s just to name a few

    WHERE IN LA WOULD YOU TAKE SOMEONE FOR A DATE?

    If I had to pick a place then we’re going to Delilah off Santa Monica. I love the dim lighting and ambience that the place sets for its guests

    DREAM VACATION DESTINATION?

    Dream destination would be taking my daughter out of the country to Japan to experience different walks of life

    LA’S BEST KEPT SECRET?

    Best kept secret to me is that you can experience going to the beach, the snow, and the desert in one full day

    WHAT OR WHO IS OVERRATED?

    To me being ‘cool’ is overrated especially if you are buying the latest or what’s trending at

    the moment. Things always change and people are always on to the next so I feel like you should just enjoy what you truly like and appreciate it

    LUCA VECA

    DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 3 KEY WORDS

    Curator, learner, hungry

    WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS CARRY IN YOUR BAG?

    I always carry a notebook with grid paper, a film camera,hand cream, and a lighter. I also try to keep a loaded PEZ dispenser on me at all times

    FAVORITE SPOT IN LA?

    Currently my favorite spot in LA is Shatto 39 Lanes. I find myself there more than any other place and it is always a good time

    WHO HAS GREAT STYLE?

    Some of my favorite style icons are Chloe Sevigny, ASAP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and one of the fathers of style André Leon Talley

    WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

    There will always be something produced by The Alchemist close to the top of my Spotify queue, accompanied by Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, and artists of that camp. Lately East Coast rap by way of The Lox, Dipset, and Griselda have had a heavy presence in my lineup as well as some jazz, Herbie Hancock being my favorite

    WHERE IN LA WOULD YOU TAKE SOMEONE FOR A DATE?

    For a more casual date a stop at Maru Coffee and a trip to some of the stores
    around the Arts District of LA. For something a bit more special, the corner booth at Jon & Vinny’s never disappoints

    DREAM VACATION DESTINATION?

    My dream vacation destination is Tokyo. It’s a place that I have wanted to go for a long time to experience the food, fashion, and culture

    LA’S BEST KEPT SECRET?

    LA’s best kept secret is the family-owned restaurants all over the city. I think a lot of people get wrapped up in the trendy spots with $12 bagels and lines around the corner. But the most authentic versions of a variety of cultures and ethnicities’ cuisines have been around in the city far before the new big things. Family- owned-and-operated businesses are ones that we need to preserve at all costs

    WHAT OR WHO IS OVERRATED?

    The Metaverse, waiting in line for food, and charcuterie boards… it’s called antipasti

    DESCRIBE YOURSELF IN 3 KEY WORDS

    Curator, Learner, Hungry

    WHAT DO YOU ALWAYS CARRY IN YOUR BAG?

    I always carry a notebook with grid paper, a film camera, hand cream, and a lighter. I also try to keep a loaded PEZ dispenser on me at all times.

    FAVORITE SPOT IN L.A.?

    Currently my favorite spot in LA is Shatto 39 Lanes. I find myself there more than any other place and it is always a good time.

    WHO HAS GREAT STYLE?

    Some of my favorite style icons are Chloe Sevigny, ASAP Rocky, Pharrell Williams, and one of the fathers of style Andre Leon Talley.

    WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?

    There will always be something produced by The Alchemist close to the top of my Spotify queue, accompanied by Action Bronson, Earl Sweatshirt, and artists of that camp. Lately East coast rap by way of The Lox, Dipset, and Griselda have had a heavy presence in my lineup as well as some jazz, Herbie Hancock being my favorite.

    WHERE IN L.A. WOULD YOU TAKE SOMEONE FOR A DATE?

    For a more casual date a stop at Maru Coffee and a trip to some of the stores around the Arts District of LA can be a good option. For something a bit more special, the corner booth at Jon & Vinny’s never disappoints.

    DREAM VACATION DESTINATION?

    My dream vacation destination at the moment is Tokyo, Japan. It’s a place that I have wanted to go for a long time to experience the food, fashion, and culture. L.A. ‘S BEST KEPT SECRET? L.A’s best kept secret is the family owned restaurants all over the city. I think a lot of people get wrapped up. in the trendy spots with $12 bagels and lines around the corner when the most authentic versions of a variety of culture’s and ethnicities’ cuisines have been around in the city far before the new big things. Family owned and operated businesses are ones that we need to preserve at all costs.
