Bloggers Travis Gumbs and Joshua Kissi discuss life in the New York City music and fashion business.
The creators behind the highly praised men’s fashion blog “Street Etiquette” were once attacked by two strangers while walking on the street because of the way they were dressed.

That resilient attitude has been developed through years of facing occasional disparagement for having a strong interest in fashion as two young black men.
