Welcome to The Bengal Stripe, a documentation of my personal style journey and the things that influence it.

Hi, I’m Nico. What started as a hobby in the late 2000s became a lifelong obsession with men’s clothing and a pursuit to bridge the online and in-person menswear communities. From being a founding member at Grailed to leading brand storytelling at Buck Mason for the past two years, I’m always trying to keep the spirit of cult fashion enthusiasm alive. Stick around for monthly insights and style exploration.
