Until the past season of The Hills, the audience knew Justin Bobby as the dirty rocker and love interest to Chiclet-toothed Audrina. In one scene, everything changed: Justin Bobby, with his patchy facial hair, chapped lips, black hoodie, black felt wide-brimmed hat, black distressed leather jacket. It must be noted: the JB is wearing the hat and hood together at once — indoors! In this one moment, he gave a nod to the fictional vigilante V, a wink to Rick Owens’s and Ann Demeulemeester's gothic style, and a high five to the masked Zorro. Given the expanse of bad taste that is “The Hills,” hats off to Justin Bobby’s layered head wear look. One question. Why cannot Jay from The City be more Justin Bobby?
Now, based on this one scene between Audrina and Justin Bobby, I deem Justin Bobby style icon of our generation and muse to the designer, Alexander Wang. So move aside Erin Wasson (with your raggedy-old fur coat that PETA would die to pore red paint on), Mr. Justin Bobby has arrived.
this is beautiful
