"It's more interesting to have just a picture of a small detail - then you can dream all the rest around it.
Because when you see the whole thing, what is there to imagine?" -Dries Van Noten

James Worthington - Demolet

Creative Director; The Block Magazine. New York

We first took notice of James Worthington-DeMolet’s styling in 2007 when he was on the masthead at Teen Vogue, helping to bring the pages of Vogue’s younger sister to life. He’s a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and also spent some time mastering his craft at the prestigious Central St. Martins in London, and since his departure from the full time on-staff environment at Teen Vogue, he’s ventured out on his own, lending his eye to publications including i-D, V, VMan, Russh, GQ, Interview, and Harpers Bazaar. Now, while continuing with his styling career, and making a brief but memorable cameo on The Real Housewives of New York City (Alex McCord has never looked so good), he is the Creative Director of The Block Magazine, where he oversees all creative and editorial content, working with everyone from Nicole Richie, Lenny Kravitz, Isabella Rossellini and models Liu Wen, Chanel Iman, and Alana Zimmer. He only has a few pairs of shoes (see his style advice for guys and footwear in the gallery), and has been rocking the same beaded necklace since his high school days (it luckily hasn’t fallen apart due to threading with dental floss) and has a strict policy when it comes to sifting though his closet…but it doesn’t always work. “I try to keep my closet merchandised by item, but everyday getting dressed creates piles everywhere” says DeMolet. Us too dude…us too.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>The red beaded necklace I wear everyday. I made it from beads I got online from Nepal. I’ve worn it since highschool, it’s threaded with dental floss so it will never come apart.  The turquoise cuff was from a store in the village, but this is no longer in my closet - the other day I was shooting for the site Style Caster and their fashion assistant was living for it so I gave it to her.

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>Think this was Hedi Slimane’s last collection at Dior Homme so there was loads of it on eBay. I was on staff at Teen Vogue at the time and spent my early mornings and late evenings checking in on my biddings. I bought quite a bit of stuff. Probably too much because some of it I’ve never worn. </span><span class='fancyPhotoName'>Sweater, Dior Homme</span>

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'>It was his second to last collection and somehow on my measly salary at Teen Vogue I had money to burn and bought so much of it. This as well, probably too much of it that most of what I bought was sold at Tokyo 7. What’s left is my favs. Something about designers who you love and their final collections you want to get as much as possible to hang onto something.

It’s from Barneys in LA. Barneys is really the only store I shop at. That and Atelier. Sweater, Vince
