BORN OF OSIRIS/ANIMALS AS LEADERS Guitarist Talks Fashion

July 24, 2009

ANIMALS AS LEADERS' Tosin Abasi is on tour with the heavy metal band he plays in, BORN OF OSIRIS. On stage he wears all black, but when he's not working, he likes classic men's formalwear. The day New York magazine's Video Look Book cameras caught him, he wore a fitted vest from a thrift store and carried a camel leather bag he bought for half-price at Marshall's. He also wore women's shorts from Banana Republic and a vintage Schiaparelli hat his girlfriend gave him. "Actually I had dreadlocks and I cut them and I was like, 'What the fuck do I do with my hair now?'" he said. "And she was like, 'You should have this hat.' So I've been wearing it every day."

Watch the Video Look Book below to find out where he got his pink paisley scarf.

Earlier this year, Abasi returned to the spotlight with his new progressive instrumental project, ANIMALS AS LEADERS. The group's self-titled debut, which was been hailed by MetalSucks as "intricate instru-metal of the highest caliber," is a 12-track collection of guitar-driven progressive instrumentals with ambient and electronic influences, providing a scintillating showcase for one of the finest young guitarists in rock today.
