Akaar Amin, 31, is a graphic designer at heart, but enjoys making other tangible things like clothes. His style tip: “Combine whatever with whatever, habibi.” Akaar is wearing a classic FILA+ shirt and deep navy utility shirt with a V-neck sweater in dusty parfait pink.

29-year-old Agri Ibrahim writes and makes/plays music. He loves to fall asleep to “the soothing hum of my fridge, any form of ASMR, and the hum of my boyfriend’s breath.” He’s wearing the Ace track suit in dusty parfait pink, with brown Drill boots, all by FILA+.
