So it looks like we’re continuing with our European tour!
On Friday we were blessed to feature Marian from London for Bombshell of the Day. Today, Paris brings us its very own Mboko:
Mboko is a 20 year-old communications student by day and a stylist and editor for online fashion magazine GHUBAR (www.ghubar-magazine.com) by night.
Regarding his style, he calls it, “Classic with a twist.” He continues, ” I like to keep it elegant no matter what…I like colors and prints. I’m pretty much inspired by designers and brands such as Tom Ford and Dries Van Noten–I like how they modernize classic pieces and looks thanks to bold and innovative silhouettes.”
“To me, style has to be the right balance between originality and avant garde. That’s why I like to play with fashion, paying attention to subtle details and mixing various influences. Why be ordinary when you can be extraordinary?”
Mboko is actually a buddy of mine, and I adore his preppy, crisp look. I love his hot shoes, clean shorts, and buttoned up demeanor. The glasses are a nice touch.
What do you think of today’s Fashion Bomber?

You hit it again Claire! This is what being a fashion bomb is all about. He is owning his look and you can tell he is not complete without his glasses attache and brogues.

Great style, but *sigh* its so feminine to me. Are there any male fashion bombs that exude masculinity?
July 19, 2010 5:01 pm
He is adorable and has GREAT fashion sense! Very nice 60s vibe

brittany, not every man is supposed to be masculine, nor every woman feminine.
July 20, 2010 3:40 pm
Esme, but every man they seem to post for male fashion bomb exudes femininity and homosexuality. I want to see some style that screams machismo! It would be a great change of pace.
