An Acquired Taste

Melvin described his style as “dapper, chic and effortless” and those traits were clear as day when we spotted him. There’s the well-fitted check-print jacket (dapper), the streamlined forest green clutch (chic) and the nonchalant snapback (effortless). “Now that I’m in my mid-20s, I see myself looking up to men like Bobby Hicks (@thisfellow) for style inspiration,” Melvin shared. Another man on Melvin’s radar – Internet favourite, Ryan Gosling. “I’d love to have dinner with him and find out just what it is about him that makes the Internet explode every time he makes an appearance,” he exclaimed, “Even when he’s simply pumping gas!” Quite the TV junkie, Melvin spends nights escaping into alternate realities, sometimes as a blood-sucking vampire, sometimes as a hopeless romantic in search for The One. Although, he could also be a durian. “Tough and unapproachable on the outside, soft and mushy on the inside,” he explained. “I’m somewhat of an acquired taste.”
