The Scout: Hyden Yoo

The menswear designer reveals his favorite music and fashion of the moment

Gen Art Fresh Faces alum Hyden Yoo started out by reinventing the button down shirt—a little more fitted, a little less droopy—and has since moved on to recreate the rest of the yuppie wardrobe. His cardigans, blazers and coats now outfit the hippest professionals in Manhattan and spiffiest slackers in Brooklyn. That's why we've asked him to shine a light on some of the sights and sounds he can't get enough of lately:


In My Closet
My closet still has stuff I've kept from high school but I do have some tees by Jason Nevikov. He puts some cool art on t-shirts. I also have a few Oak pieces that I wear and a closet full of Hyden Yoo samples!

On My Playlist
Oasis, Simon & Garfunkel and The Smiths. Yeah, it's a weird mix, but I'm too lazy to change my playlist around. I'm really into hip-hop, but I'm taking a breather now cuz these rappers can't really mean what they say about blingin' and ballin' when the economy is so nasty. It affects hustlers, too!

Hyden Yoo is available online at Oak, Revolve Clothing and Active Endeavors.
