Beauty, Clothes, Consolation by Malik Wilson
December 15, 2026
Beauty, Clothes, Consolation explains how physical beauty, and not just physical beauty seen, but the thoughtful presentation of such beauty represents a kind of forded consolation in the world. What is beautiful, even who or how they are beautiful presents ideas of structure and need, consolation and grace. ‘Fashion’ represents something more than style, it is the frame by which we view each other, define each other, determine each other. And determine ourselves. Malik Wilson puts forth that in the fuzzy world of what we desire, about what moves us, lies the detritus of who we are at our spiritual core. In uniting ourselves in that, in pressing forward with lanky courage, we wade into mysteries, and make them our own.

AG Jeans by Malik Wilson & Hong Huynh
October 26, 2026
No other brand has stacked us so well, provided a cover, or made us feel as luxurious and quietly wealthy as AG Jeans. An almost criminally under appreciated American gem, AG Jeans sources their materials from the best looms available to create a kind of muted Americana that is central to Takoma's aegis. Clothes made to work in, but to work in quietly, while preternaturally at ease might be one of America's most graceful gifts, and we are proud to live it out with our friends at AG Jeans. In this editorial by Creative Director Malik Wilson, Takoma Photographer Hong Huynh, and various Metro Center Models, Takoma is happy to introduce our favorite style partner.

Rock Creek Park by Malik Wilson & Hong Huynh
December 15, 2026
Though New York's Central Park gets all the credit, Frederick Law Olmstead's Rock Creek Park is perhaps an even more impressive creation of sanctuary, spilling down, as it were, to our nation's most sacred sites. Nature as a precursor, and as a covered wayfair, have shaped Takoma's approach to art and literature, style and meaning. In this editorial by Malik Wilson, model Angelie sits astride our great landscape.
Metro Center Models
Welcome to Takoma
Beauty is made for the moment, for the moments, and through photography, through film, through fashion, and through events, we uplift and celebrate its evanescent achievement.
