Do you all remember Michael Jackson’s short film Bad? The original video told the story of Darryl (Michael Jackson) returning home from a predominantly white high school in upstate New York to the urban streets of Harlem. I’d share the rest, but it is more thrilling to watch.
Fun fact: I mentally prep for each photo shoot by listening to music (ironically it’s usually MJ) during the shoot or singing a song in my head (don’t judge me).
It wasn’t until I began thinking about the Bad video that I realized how similar my outfit was to Michael’s. His character, Darryl, wore a dark grey overcoat, a light grey hoody, a white button-down shirt, black trousers, and black loafers. I switched it up slightly with my go-to black overcoat and kept the grey hoody with a denim button-up underneath and distressed jeans. I topped the look with a beanie and sealed it with my camel Chelsea boots. I guess you could say that I wore the modern-day version of Darryl’s ensemble.
Who’s BAD?!
