"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

ELLE & The Coveteur: Johnny Wujek

Stylist. Los Angeles

We’re all familiar with Katy Perry’s outfit choices. Sometimes she’s decked out in an outfit encrusted with spicy tuna rolls and other times she’s rocking Gucci looks taken straight from the runway. But regardless, she’s someone who we’ve been paying attention to for quite some time now, due to her killer hits (you’ve made us all want to become California Girls) and her in-your-face style choices. But, there’s a man behind her chameleon style, and he goes by the name of Johnny Wujek, KP’s right hand man who holds the golden key to Ms. Perry’s style. In collaboration with ELLE Magazine, we ventured into this Detroit native’s pad to take a peek at the items that culminate in his hardcore mountain man style (complete with some awesome runners that made the boys in our office drool).  He isn’t afraid of rocking a man bag, has purchased women’s tees from H+M and has even gotten in a fight in Japan over a pastel-toned button up. Yikes! He’s an aficionado when it comes to old luggage and isn’t phased by his massive collection of Letterman jackets (we only captured a few from his collection). We don’t often snap the fashionable men in fashion on The Coveteur, but one look at Wujek’s closet and home, and we’re going to make sure we up the dude ante in 2012. As a born and bred American (just ignore the fact that Wujek probably spends more time on airplanes than anyone else we know), he makes sure to represent the good ole US of A in his tees, tanks, and swim trunks. All of a sudden, we’re feeling a color palette of red white and blue. Heeeeeere’s Johnny!

<span class='fancyPhotoDesc'> The squirrel sweater I picked up at the fairfax flea market. I bought
it because I was freezing. 

The Vintage Dr. Martins were my brothers back in Michigan. When I
went home for the holidays they were out with the trash. I almost fell
over and died. I've used them in like 10 photo shoots and videos as
well as people offering me money for them.
