 So if you haven't heard of Big Boy Vintage (BBV) then I'm about to drop some hot knowledge I think you'll love. BBV is a Los Angeles based clothing and accessories company for big boys. They carry nothing under size large or 38 waist. And they're going to be in San Francisco for a pop-up this week! (click for the Facebook invite for the launch party + location deets)  In anticipation of their tres exciting arrival I asked Big Boy Vintage's Rudy Bleu some Qs: Virgie: What is your fav outfit and why? Rudy: I don't know if I have a favorite outfit but more like favorite pieces. I love my Daddy hat (which I got made at Swap Meet), Siouxsie and the Banshees sweater, new BBV sweater, Mickey and Minnie Por Vida sweater, Peach short shorts, Selena Shirt, Raiders Jacket, i could go on forever.  the famoosh Daddy hat Virgie: How would you characterize your look? Rudy: I would say my look is influenced by my Mexican and punk roots and also by all the cholos I grew up around in East LA and an obsession with short shorts and tanks. Virgie: Is fashion political? Rudy: I believe so.    Virgie: Who needs to come to this pop up? Rudy: All the chubby boys and girls in SF and all the fun punk and qpoc peeps.   Comments are closed.
