Tre is a sophomore at Central Catholic High School whose passion for fashion is vast and borderline obsessive. When we met up for our photo shoot at Toledo Botanical Garden we talked about a lot of bloggers and designers. Despite all my years of keeping pace with fashion news and trends, a lot of his references went way over my head. Tre is as determined as he is stylish, so I have little doubt he will work hard to carve out a nice career for himself one day. Meanwhile, I'll be following him on Instagram and Tumblr!
What sparked your interest in fashion?
Growing up I always was intrigued with rappers and hip-hop culture. Each musician had a different style, which ultimately created an interest to go out and find out more about it. I was real big on skating at the time and I followed Supreme Skate and Odd Future blogs on Tumblr. Then, as I got older and more interested in fashion, I followed high-end designers and kept up with the popular and classic street wear such as Stussy, BAPE and Supreme. My view of fashion is: wear whatever you want and be creative. As long as you make your style your own, that's true fashion.
You mentioned that you follow a lot of fashion blogs. Care to name a few for our readers?
I don't necessarily have specific names, I just see various blogs by browsing the internet and I'll look up the brand or designer. Specifically, I do keep up with some models like Ian Connor, and photographers and videographers like UZI and Reesecooptv. They're interesting people to follow and learn from. Or, you can follow me on Instagram at Yungxtre or on Tumblr at TrexRobinson.tumblr.com. Both are focused on my own personal style and have similar looks.
What advice do you give to people looking for unique items of clothing in Toledo and on the internet?
Finding something unique can be challenging but it’s worth it to me. Toledo has a limited selection of unique clothes. I advise everyone to try online shopping. It made a big difference in my access to and knowledge of fashion; also, my interest in it. It's always refreshing to have something no one has seen or rock something first and see how people follow the trend.
What's the wackiest thing you've ever worn?
Definitely a shirt and tie every day for school!
