Hey, soon-to-be-doctor Randall

Julian Randall is cool. Like really cool. And smart. Like, really smart. I'm a big (like really big!) fan.

(I’m trying … still needs work!)

I discovered Julian Randall on IG, and what a day that was. Every time I share his account with someone, they are so grateful. TBH, I don’t follow many (any?) guys’ accounts; I just haven’t found I relate. But Julian’s ‘fits are addictive and make me want to play along. Plus he has an encyclopedic fashion knowledge — he is currently earning a Ph.D. in Fashion and Clothing at the Manchester Fashion Institute, studying Black men's dress and luxury fashion consumption in America, and in 2021 got his Master's in Fashion Industry Studies — and is always willing to share it, along with other things, like a piece he bought and can’t stop wearing, a new and interesting brand, a holy grail he’s searching for, a style “aha.” Oh, and his blog is amazing. Oh, and also: He’s an editorial fellow at The Business of Fashion, joining the publication as a recipient of its Third Annual Black Journalists Fellowship. NBD. But he’s also willing to talk to moi! You’re welcome.
