It’s been a little while since we’ve had a Fashion Bomber, no? I’m breaking our brief hiatus with Ralph from Maryland:
He says, “I’m a visual artist, fashion designer/stylist, and aspiring hip hop artist.”
” I reside in Baltimore, Maryland with the hopes of moving to NYC this fall to pursue my craft.”
” My style would be described as Urban Contemporary.”
” I love to mix street wear, vintage, and high end.”
” I’m heavily influenced by 90′s hip hop, and 70′s Blaxploitation movies.”
” My biggest fashion inspirations are Gianni Versace, Ralph Lauren, Patricia Field, and Sean John.”
” Most people know me as the guy with the blonde beard, and color is a part of my style trademark as well.”
” I have an online magazine called G.O.D. (Generation of Dreamers) and a menswear line called D.O.G. (Death of Glamour). Both can be viewed at www.d0gg0d.com (0=zeros). Follow @Ralphseagrams on twitter & instagram. Check out my music videos & interviews on youtube “RalphSeagrams”. Thanks Fashion Bomb daily!”
Yep! That beard is certainly eye catching! I like it, and your style is unique.

The beard is really distracting. I almost thought he was an old man and that his style was not age appropriate. Besides that, i def appreciate the urban aspect of all of this. I feel like we as a community have been missing that lately.

March 15, 2013 12:07 pm
well….. good style not convinced on the beard…. i thought he was like 60 yrs old at first
March 15, 2013 12:09 pm
That beard add 40 years. no bueno!!
I honestly had to relook at every pic minus your head to focus on your fashion which isn’t bad
March 15, 2013 12:10 pm
I thought this was an old man at first until I saw the close up. Nice style though
March 15, 2013 12:10 pm
Love his style… He’s not afraid of color!
March 15, 2013 12:12 pm
I swear I thought this was Bishop T.D. Jakes lmao lol
March 15, 2013 12:12 pm
HE LOOKS LIKE MR.BROWN FROM MADEA!
March 15, 2013 12:13 pm
All he needs to do it dye that thang black & we’re in BIDNESS!
March 15, 2013 12:15 pm
he is giving me TD Jakes tease!
March 15, 2013 12:16 pm
He has great style..the beard throws me off a lil. LOL @ he looks like mr brown. He definitely does.
March 15, 2013 12:16 pm
He is oddly attractive and his color choices are bold! I think he has a good style but he could make is a bit more cohesive but other than that he is on the right track :)
March 15, 2013 12:20 pm
I like his style… the beard threw me off for a minute, but once I was back on track I could dig it.
March 15, 2013 12:20 pm
Trying waaaaaaaay too hard lol smh
March 15, 2013 12:24 pm
I like most of his looks minus the shoes choices..also, i think the blonde beard ages him..
March 15, 2013 12:26 pm
i love it.
March 15, 2013 12:29 pm
I def couldn’t get past the resemblance to Mr. Brown from Madea. Sir…what?
March 15, 2013 12:29 pm
His style is decent enough… are those scrubs in the last picture?
NOOO to the blonde facial hair. Stop that!
March 15, 2013 12:29 pm
My advice would be to ditch that beard. It looks like a gimmick and its distracting. I cant focus on your fashion with Garfield attached to your face….
OAN…
March 15, 2013 12:31 pm
The beard is throwing me off.. Looked like an old man plying dress up. But nice style.
March 15, 2013 12:34 pm
Wait what? lol I cannont. I mean his style is fun and dope.. but that beard…Meet the Brown’s? Its just distracting to reiterate. It takes away from his aesthetic. i get he’s going for something that makes him stand out.
March 15, 2013 12:36 pm
Please get ya’ll Grandfather!
March 15, 2013 12:41 pm
I am 100% on board! I loved everything!!! I’m a new fan
March 15, 2013 12:46 pm
If Mr Brown and TD Jakes had a baby, it would be him. Haaaalleluuuuuyahhhhh! LMAO!
March 15, 2013 12:46 pm
Idk. I kind of like it
March 15, 2013 12:47 pm
He’s very stylish, but I absolutely loathe that beard color! If he loves it, I guess that’s all that matters…
March 15, 2013 1:00 pm
Im in tears at work lol the beard is sooo distracting I couldn’t think of voting or looking at the outfits. He really looks like Mr. Brown from Madea please cut the beard it really ages you unless the 45 year old man is the look you are going for.
March 15, 2013 1:00 pm
I love the name of his lines and the fact that he’s original. Bueno
March 15, 2013 1:03 pm
~WERK, Ralph!
March 15, 2013 1:04 pm
I’m glad I came across your blog today as it will now be part of my daily reading.I think ur blog is great for providing to everybody something unique to know.The information you provide is really helpful.
March 15, 2013 1:04 pm
ok I went back and covered his face so I can get a better look at the outfits…not bad I like a few of them..*proceeds to voting*
March 15, 2013 1:04 pm
Boy I hate “age appropriate” comments, especially when a persons age isn’t even disclosed.
Anywho, the beard is a conversation peice and ages him, but the the clothes conteract with a youthful kick. Very unique and a welcome departure from the normal male bombers.
March 15, 2013 1:12 pm
All I can see is the beard! I can’t see anything else….just the beard!
March 15, 2013 1:19 pm
Very interesting. I can dig it.
March 15, 2013 1:24 pm
Mr. Brown is that you?
March 15, 2013 1:30 pm
YASSSS I LOVE IT EVEN THO HE KINDA REMINDS ME OF A YOUNGER CUTER VERSION ON SAMUEL L JACKSON IN DJANGO
March 15, 2013 1:33 pm
His style is dope, but that blonde facial hair is definitely giving me Mr. Brown realness.
March 15, 2013 1:37 pm
He looks like Mister Brown! :)
March 15, 2013 1:41 pm
Ooooooooooooo–Mmmmmmmmmm–Gggggggggggg!! like can imagine ths guy approaching you? what would you do or say?
March 15, 2013 2:07 pm
At first I thought this was somebodies granddaddy and it was a joke. Then I looked and its not. He gives me Mr. Brown and TD Jakes. Yeah not here for it at all.
March 15, 2013 2:11 pm
Last outfit my fave… lolololol Blonde ambition.. <3
March 15, 2013 2:16 pm
Yeeaah! Get it Ralph ;-) It’s FRESH…cant front thought u was a old man at first…black should def b on the agenda..but I get it…ISLANDER maybe?…Bomber
March 15, 2013 2:32 pm
the beard kills it for me. without the beard the style is ok. style is more than clothing. its a head to toe look, so the way a person styles their hair or facial hair is important.
March 15, 2013 2:36 pm
I like every thing except the hair color( I’m not a fan of blonde) handsome man. Striking style.
March 15, 2013 2:42 pm
I’m loving his style!!! The beard is not doing it for me though babe, but I appreciate your boldness babe!
March 15, 2013 2:54 pm
Uh, who is this TD Jakes knock off? j/k He definitely has an interesting style. Not my type of style for a man, but it works for him so “do you boo”
March 15, 2013 2:56 pm
Nice and get rid of the facial hair . . . it ages you!
And smile, your nice looking guy!
March 15, 2013 3:05 pm
Dat beard color. No beuno.
March 15, 2013 3:10 pm
i can dig it. the blond beard is like a train wreck. I cannt take my eyes away…headed to the blog.
March 15, 2013 3:10 pm
I actually like the facial hair, mind you…I have a soft spot for beards. Not sure if I like the blonde, BUT when it’s just the goatee it works for me…maybe cause I like a man with some pepper. True, it’s pass the point of pepper, but it’s a pass for me.
That said, I love your style my brother…seriously. Handsome man, great style.
March 15, 2013 3:16 pm
Kudos for confidence and creativity
March 15, 2013 3:46 pm
What the what???
March 15, 2013 3:50 pm
Looking like Mr. Brown from those Tyler Perry plays. No ma’am. Have several seats.
March 15, 2013 3:51 pm
Nice style.
March 15, 2013 3:53 pm
Ummmmmmm He kinda sexy to me. Love his style, he’s very creative….
March 15, 2013 3:58 pm
I came in here and said, “No this man is not 212 years old and trying to dress like this”. Whooops my bad, beard fooled us all.
March 15, 2013 4:13 pm
bomb!!!….but that blonde tho
March 15, 2013 4:14 pm
“He triiieeeddd it ohhhh ” Tamar Voice with the beard. He looks like a fool I can’t focuses on anything elses. Sorry :(
March 15, 2013 4:14 pm
Love everything about his style/look!
March 15, 2013 4:15 pm
I love everything about him from head to toe. I love the beard & I love EVERY single outfit choice. BOMBER !
March 15, 2013 4:24 pm
I love beards. If he wore more classic, tailored pieces and suits he would look amazing. you can’t have a beard and dress like a teenager! no!
March 15, 2013 4:36 pm
upon first glance he was giving “the rent is to d*mn high” guy, BUT after further inspection…….. i love every little dyed BIT of what he was giving!!! my favorite was the lettermans jacket!!!! From the hat to the shoes he was on point! definitely a Bomber
March 15, 2013 4:42 pm
Ralph should take a picture of himself, put it in an envelope and look at it again when he’s forty. Ah to be young and foolish.
March 15, 2013 5:29 pm
Once I did a tripple take on the beard to see if he was an older guy looking ridiculous trying to dress young I realized he has a good face, great skin with pretty decent style. Who would intentionally want to make themselves look 30 years older? It’s kinda laughable. Ralph not that you asked but dye the shyt back.
March 15, 2013 5:34 pm
I really thought this was a joke…I’m sorry, but I CAN’T with that beard lol! All I can think is Mr. Brown “this is your grandiddyyyy!” lololol
I appreciate the urban style but that beard….No.
March 15, 2013 5:54 pm
Lmao! No offense but I can’t focus on anything but the beard. He looks like the guy from Madea
March 15, 2013 6:00 pm
Yikes! I can’t get passed the beard. Guess I’m shallow and closed minded. Oh well!
March 15, 2013 6:05 pm
lol @kitkat. pretty much my exact sentiments.
March 15, 2013 6:17 pm
My first thought was Mr. Brown from House of Paynes…..I see I wasn’t alone. But the more I look at the beard the more I like it. Its kind of mysterious lol.
March 15, 2013 6:21 pm
I like the beard. It’s smart. If he wants to pursue a career where image is crucial, it’s best to have something about your style that jumps out like that and makes you memorable. It doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing in the traditional sense (though I think he does look great — I”m just reacting to some comments). It’s far, far better to be “that guy with the beard” or even “the guy with the weird beard” instead of another forgettable face. It’s exactly what female performers like Gaga, Nicki and Rihanna did and still do with their costuming, hair and makeup. You don’t have to like it; you just have to notice it.
March 15, 2013 6:32 pm
LOL..I was confused for a good minute…I couldn’t figure out why TD Jakes would submit a bomber post…lol
March 15, 2013 6:35 pm
i couldnt focus on anything except the beard… style was okay ..
March 15, 2013 6:41 pm
He looks insane to me!
March 15, 2013 6:57 pm
Who daddy?
Unique style tho….
March 15, 2013 7:03 pm
Love his dress code.. But I the beard makes him look like Brown from Madea.
March 15, 2013 7:03 pm
I like it!
#bomb
March 15, 2013 7:05 pm
hmmm
March 15, 2013 7:33 pm
That beard is killing me softly… I just can’t…
March 15, 2013 8:23 pm
lol some of these comments are funny. He is actually quite attractive and I am digging your style. Please take heed of our adv ice and ditch the blonde beard.
March 15, 2013 9:02 pm
can he please change the beard to black, i thought this was an old man at first
March 15, 2013 11:30 pm
Love the fits!
March 15, 2013 11:55 pm
I’m sorry. I’m not feeling any of it. At all.
March 16, 2013 1:49 am
No. To all of it. Just no.
March 16, 2013 2:54 am
whose grandpa is this?
March 16, 2013 3:09 am
GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY GET READY
March 16, 2013 5:00 am
These comments!!!!! *tears* omg ok ok ok let me focus. I literally said out loud how old is this man! No really how old is he? And he look kin to mr brown and td jakes….but I’m sure he knows that! Lol
March 16, 2013 3:11 pm
This is your granddaddy!!!! Aw Brown!!!! No really hot style that beard moake me think he’s mad old…..honey dye it back to black…you’d be so hot that way…..
March 16, 2013 3:51 pm
Definitely thought he was 70! Cool style now that I see he’s not a grandpa.
March 16, 2013 4:09 pm
Really with @WendyB on this. Considering his industry, it’s these comments that are doing the most and not his style. Does it age him? Many think it does but a color change to basic black is not what he’s trying to do. Liked his bird blouse the most.
March 16, 2013 9:10 pm
Everything BUT the beard. Bomber!
March 17, 2013 4:47 am
He has great style. No need for the outlandish beard.
March 17, 2013 5:23 pm
Well..the beard is out of control homie..me no likey. That pic with the hate titled to the side, looks like someone’s grandpa chillin.
March 17, 2013 6:40 pm
I LUVED EVERYTHING ABOUT HIS LOOK!
March 18, 2013 7:55 am
Loved his style, especially the beard!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Its a really good marketing tool if he’s gonna be in the music/fashion industry. They love stuff like this, especially overseas. He kind of reminds me of Peter from Atl Housewives, & thats not a bad thing. Keep up the good work dude!
March 18, 2013 9:38 am
Lose the grey beard.
March 18, 2013 9:52 am
I love his style. I’m not a fan of the beard, but as someone noted earlier, it can make his image stand out if he is trying to pursue a hip hop career. I just can’t help, but think he would be even more attractive with a dark goatee.
March 18, 2013 9:55 am
I am loving his style and the fact that he isn’t afraid to wear what he likes, which obviously includes color, is inspiring…Guys could learn a thing or two from him. I would ditch the beard though…it makes him look much older.
March 18, 2013 3:14 pm
Lmao @ all the Mr. Brown comments. Honestly, dude’s beard is so distracting to me. It ages him horribly and made it really difficult to focus on the clothes. He has style but…that beard though lol.
March 18, 2013 4:07 pm
I’m in complete awwwww @ the amount of comentary about the beard. All opinions are respected and welcomed. This experience has proven to me that my beard was a move in the right direction. I think my post has received more comments than any other, which means people paid attention. Which ultimately was the mission. Mission #accomplished
March 18, 2013 5:53 pm
@ ralph – i’m saying, how could you not think that the beard would be the main focal point? it’s the attention grabber…not denying your fashionable sense of style but like you said, mission accomplished.
