The Heavy Metal Guitarist Who Wears Ladies’ Shorts from Banana Republic

  • 7/22/09 at 3:30 PM

Tosin Abasi is on tour with the heavy metal band he plays in, Born of Osiris. On stage he wears all-black, but when he's not working, he likes classic men's formalwear. The day our Video Look Book cameras caught him he wore a fitted vest from a thrift store and carried a camel leather bag he bought for half-price at Marshall's. He also wore women's shorts from Banana Republic and a vintage Schiaparelli hat his girlfriend gave him. "Actually I had dreadlocks and I cut them and I was like, 'What the fuck do I do with my hair now?' And she was like, 'You should have this hat.' So I’ve been wearing it every day.” Watch the Video Look Book to find out where he got his pink paisley scarf.
