00:00Hello Essence Live, I'm Dana Blair and last night at the SV Awards we saw many
00:15fine impeccably dressed athletes and standing to my right is the gentleman
00:19who dressed many of them, designer Herrera Boswell. How are you? Fantastic how are
00:23you? I'm very well thank you so much for taking the time to join us. Thank you for
00:26having me. We have three different categories yes to help our essence
00:30audience get their men on track. As women we're all about accessories and fashion
00:34magazines and sometimes you know you got to spruce your man up just a little bit.
00:38Just a tad bit, give us some of that love. So you know we need an expert. All right
00:43as he laughs here we go the first look is business meetings. Okay. Okay so you've
00:48designed looks that work perfectly for a businessman ie a suit. Yes. What should
00:52she look for or take into consideration? You want things that hide in plain view.
00:56Like it's nothing better than a navy suit to just set the tone of everything. It is
01:01something that you know you can put a white shirt with, you can put a multi-color
01:04shirt with, color from cobalt to navy. Like when it's the right tone it just
01:09really sets the moment off. Jaleel Okafor who was third in the draft war suit to the
01:14SVs that has a black background but it has like a navy embroidery pattern to it. When
01:20you get up close on it and you see the intricacy of it it's pretty incredible. So casual wear. Yes. What should every
01:25gentleman have. That you have a great pair of pants, a great jeans, a great jacket. You should think of like you know your garments as like you think of like a car or your relationship. It's interesting how everything keeps leading back to your relationship. I don't have a relationship. Yeah. So I don't know.
01:42I don't know. That was a Billy Ray Valentine moment right there. I just looked at the camera just I don't know. Casual wear. Don't match. You shouldn't match. You talking about as a couple? Absolutely not. No. No. No. No. No. No. We're grown.
01:58Yeah. We can be independent but still be unified. Gotcha. Yeah. Most definitely. Formal occasion. If you have a wedding. Yes. Or a certain corporate event or something along those lines. How do you pull it together? How do you take your man and say you know what you need you need this you need that. Well one the setting is important where you're getting married. If it's something that's outdoors you will probably want a fabric that's more free flowing. If it's something that's indoor you want something that is not as free flowing but you still want it to breathe.
02:28If it's something that you don't like. I think that anybody wearing a ascot in 2015 shame on you. Oh did you see the dramatic look at camera? Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame on you. Now when people start blowing your social media up because you're talking about their husbands. I don't. I mean just like. You can open it up and you know give them a little bit of pentagrass. You know. Not the pentagrass. Not the pentagrass. How do you feel about the dad jean?
02:58How hot should that jean come? No. And I recently at festival saw a gentleman with rhinestones on the back of their jeans on the pockets. Yeah. Let's talk about it. Yeah. You shouldn't have. So no pleads? No. No rhinestones? No. Absolutely not. No. Okay. Absolutely not. No. All right. Well thank you so very much for taking the time to chat with us. Thank you. Over at Boswell.
