Stuffwatch With Fashion Editor Annette Lamothe-Ramos - These New Jackets By This Guy

By Annette Lamothe-Ramos

Years ago when I was going through this weird acting phase I did a short film with a guy named Yoram Heller. I got to sit naked in a bathtub playing with a dish while he ("The Urban Gentleman") tossed rose petals into the water. It was definitely not as gay as it sounds, but I couldn't help but think what the fuck is up with this dude? He wasn't even an actor, just some jewish kid from LA who listened to hip-hop and looked like he went to NYU law school.

Sounds awesome, right? But I guess I was a little too quick to judge because that kid turned out to be actually pretty awesome. He and his sister Dania have this new clothing line called The Hellers. Together they've created a slew of insane jackets by mixing and matching various dead stock materials from the 70s and 80s, like glittery silver satin combined with vintage Hermes fabric and a leopard print hood. Normally that sort of mash-up would make my eyes hurl, but in their hands I think it's kinda cool.

PS: This is what the jacket looks like if you get cold-cocked while standing on an ugly rug.
