Zephan Parker may be a Houston boy, but given his path into the world of westernwear, he might as well have been born in Brooklyn. As a young man, "I was into graffiti, hip-hop, and Ralph Lauren," he explains. This was right around the time that Ralph's cultural impact was getting flipped by folks like the Lo Life crew, transforming preppy clothing into a streetwear staple. A graffiti artist himself, Parker's fascination with that side of the brand eventually led him back through Ralph's long list of influences—first to classic Americana and then, eventually, to western styles. |
