No Chaser Magazine Ft. Recreational Habits - A Tennis and Golf Inspired Fashion Editorial

Heat is a feeling, a tingle on your skin, a moment between two pairs of eyes, lost daydreams and foggy memories.

Last year, we had the wonderful opportunity to work with Guerre ‘Karl-Edwin Guerre’, the Founder and Editor-in-Chief of No Chaser Magazine on his 3rd issue. The issue was aptly titled REVERBERATED HEAT, and Marlon and I jumped at the opportunity to go into the past and re-tell our love story in a different era. In this 1920’s inspired editorial, we brought heat to distant lands through elegant sport and a bit of seduction.

Below, you’ll see a chance encounter between two strangers at a red clay tennis club in India, followed by an elegant evening against Moroccan desert skies, and concluding in Egyptian sands where mint tea was served alongside a round of golf. Where there is love, style, and sport, there will always be HEAT.

As a brand, Recreational Habits has always made an effort to recreate visual stories that weren’t documented to give people of color a narrative to connect to. We believe it helps to validate our reason for dress, hobbies, or elegant living. When we see that our ancestors lived a certain way, we feel a sense of agency to do the same. We are deeply connected to our histories, however the access we have to our distant pasts especially in these settings are extremely limited especially as immigrated Americans.
