Looklyn: Kyle and Dylan get to the church on time

By Johnny Cirillo

Street style is not quite the same thing as fashion. It’s more personal … and more performative. It’s rooted in self, and it’s an outward expression of attitude, vibe, swag, panache, aspiration, time and place.

For the past couple of years now, photographer Johnny Cirillo has been prowling the streets of Greenpoint and beyond holding a mirror up to the borough to show us how we dress now — and what it says about who we are. This is Looklyn.

In time for summer, this is one of his recent sightings.
