Dapper in Reckless

In September of 2014, on one of my very first large modeling projects, I was introduced to Mario Daugherty and his Reckless Clothing line. Ever since that meeting I have kept in touch with Mario and I have wore his clothes in several different fashion shows. 

Mario began the Reckless Clothing line back in 2008 and his clothes have been a staple in Hampton Roads ever since. He was inspired to begin his own line by the designers Ralph Lauren and Russell Simmons. Additionally, he finds inspiration for his clothing in everything around him. This week I once again teamed up with the photographer François Joseph and we pulled two looks from Mario's collection. Both looks are very casual for me, but comfortable none the less. The first look features a graphic v-neck t-shirt with shorts and a pair of suede oxfords from Johnston and Murphy to complete the look. The second look has a military green button up shirt, khakis and a pair of cognac brown Johnston and Murphy loafers to complete the look. 

​Reckless Clothing has a wide range of looks in its collection that will fit most guy's style. You can purchase Reckless at Risk Contour located at 211 Providence Rd in Chesapeake, VA. You can see the Reckless Clothing line on the runway at the Prevent Cancer Awareness Fashion Show July 17th, Beauty of the Heart Fashion Show July 30th, and Virginia Full Figured Fashion Week in October.
