I don’t like to talk too much about myself, or even my style for that matter. As I like to think of it I hope everything would sort of…speak on its own? But I need to clarify a few things. Don’t let the coy smile dissuade you…

I’m every bit as tactful and ambitious as the next. Only Miss Shirley has a different kind of bag — no, let’s call it the same bag as before only with a different label on it. See, for some time now during interviews and when being described I’ve come across the adjective “streetwear” and “Sham” in the same sentence. Tsk, tsk dear, this is certainly not the case. Now maybe I’ve been caught too many times taking out the trash, and for that I take full blame. But I’m grown; don’t play me with that streetwear culture ish. “This chick Sham really be dressin like a dude and look hella cool with it” -via twitter<<< hilarious but I’ll take it!

Now don’t get me wrong however, the Common Projects and newly Stamp’d LA kicks still touch the ground, but let’s put a scratch through streetwear. I’m stepping down—don’t box me up, I have no title. I’m just Sham for now.

History Time:
 
A Henley shirt is a collarless men’s casual wear pullover shirt, characterized by a 10 cm to 15 cm (4-6″) long placket beneath the round neckline, usually having 2-5 buttons. It essentially resembles a collarless polo shirt. The sleeves may be either short or long sleeve, or it can be made in almost any fabric, although cotton, and cotton-polyester blends, and thermals are by far the most popular. Henley shirts are generally regarded as menswear, but recently women’s versions have appeared as well. They were so named because this particular style of shirt was the traditional uniform of rowers in the English town of Henley-on-Thames. Originally quite popular in the early 1990s, Henley shirts have recently made a fashion comeback, especially in Western countries such as the United States and Canada, but also in some East Asian Countries such as Japan and Korea
