The Individual

A series of portraits + interviews where we align with our friends to showcase their individuality in style, taste, and inspiration.

March 2012: Chris Abbott

For the inagural Individual shoot, we teamed with photographer Drew Innis to shoot actor and friend, Chris Abbott. The shoot is the first in a series that will document independent creatives, their personal style, and the places and objects that inspire them. Residing in Brooklyn, Chris recently played the role of Max in Borderline Film’s indie thriller, Martha Marcy May Marlene and currently plays Charlie in HBO's new show, Girls. Abbott is featured wearing select pieces from our Reference collection and was kind enough to answer a few questions about life in Greenpoint, his fish hook tattoo and what he would say to J.D. Salinger if they were to ever cross paths in the next life.
