In a white walk-in closet five days a week at 5:45 in t<strong>he</strong> morning,<br />
stands a fashionable young man by t<strong>he</strong> name of Eugene R.<br />
McKenzie II. Each morning t<strong>he</strong> junior dresses to impress.<br />
“Over my years at Southfield <strong>High</strong>, I’ve gone from preppy to a<br />
more professional look,” McKenzie said. Inspired by his fashionable<br />
fat<strong>he</strong>r (Eugene, Sr.) and hip hop artist Kanye West;<br />
McKenzie loves to wear buttoned up collared shirts, polos, dress<br />
pants, and dress shoes, in and out of school.<br />
McKenzie says t<strong>he</strong> school’s dress code policy doesn’t bot<strong>he</strong>r<br />
him at all because it’s similar to his personal everyday style. However,<br />
at home <strong>he</strong> goes with t<strong>he</strong> laid back look, wearing sweatpants<br />
and white tees.<br />
According to McKenzie, on a scale from one to 10; t<strong>he</strong> importance<br />
of his style of dress is an off-t<strong>he</strong>-charts 25. Although <strong>he</strong><br />
places a high importance of his fashion, <strong>he</strong> still puts school first,<br />
<strong>he</strong> says.<br />
His favorite shoes are by designers Giorgio Brutinis and Robert<br />
Wayne. “I don’t have a job, and I don’t pay for my clot<strong>he</strong>s; my<br />
mommy keeps me fresh to death,” McKenzie said. In fact, <strong>he</strong><br />
goes shopping approximately four times a month, often at<br />
Nordstroms at Somerset Collection in Troy.<br />
In t<strong>he</strong> future, McKenzie says <strong>he</strong> plans to pursue a career in<br />
broadcast journalism. He says that <strong>he</strong> hopes his broadcasting<br />
career will bring him enough money so that <strong>he</strong> can keep himself<br />
as fresh as his mot<strong>he</strong>r keeps him now.<br />
