Based on the 3 B&W photos shown I don't see it at all. Of course this choice could be political correctness run amuck (hispanic and urban thug look trumps Abercrombie pretty white boy). The guy looks out of shape and generic to me unless street gang chic is now the thing in the fashionista world. BTW, I'm referring to his look, not his personality or actual lifestyle so don't start calling a lawyer!
