One big reason we've been watching—and digging—what's going on over at Street Etiquette: Because the two dapper young gents behind it, Joshua Kissi and Travis Gumbs, have a sharp eye for classic American style—and an historian's appetite for figuring out what makes it tick. (Recommended: recent posts on vintage ties, tweeds, and letterman jackets.) They also have a strong sense of place (they're from the South Bronx, and you'll see backdrops of that borough's playgrounds and bodegas, as well as their impeccably dressed circle of local friends, as you're scrolling down). All of which are qualities on display in "Sewn from the Soul," a D.I.Y. photo project the duo launched this week to commemorate Black History Month and the style legacy of men like Gordon Parks, Miles Davis, and Sammy Davis Jr. Here, a couple of our favorite shots; for the whole portfolio, go here.

Sewn From the Soul is an online editorial project brought to light by seven friends who have all collaborated together in order to see a bigger picture; ultimately meshing and intertwining Style and History. History is important as it gives us the ability to trace back what has occurred previously to help us better direct ourselves to the future. Style contributes to one’s overall character and truly dictates our persona in everything that surrounds us. We all contributed our individual style to this editorial and used a primarily monochromatic palette to assist the Black History Month theme.

February-recognized as the shortest month of the year. It is also recognized as Black History Month, which embodies the progression of African American culture in various ways. Some people may find grief in recognizing the month as its own separate entity, yet to others the month provides a spotlight that shines on many African American notables from the past and present, who’s waves of accomplishment have sounded throughout the world. African American history is a single patch of the multi-patterned metaphorical quilt we call America which has seen contributions by many other ethnic groups. To pay homage to these great African American individuals is an honor and to re-echo the great contributions of these individuals in our own special way is a quite remarkable feeling.
