I didn’t realise Melbourne had an actual ‘face’. But it does. It so does. And it’s in the form of Samuel Davide Hains, a “web developer, mystery blogger, and jazz kitten” from Travancore, who has us reeling with his interview with M Magazine, by The Age, in Melbourne.
The term ‘hipster’ will never be used lightly, ever again. (The name “David” is likely never to be spelled the same way again.)
Although some have suggested Hains, 24, is too good to be true and therefore a fictional character, the guy who posed for the picture played a good game, giving the magazine plenty of details about his peak hipster life.
His ironic take on like includes Osh Kosh B’Gosh overalls (worn backwards, because… of course); a black turtle neck (my grade-nine self will be happy to know they’re making a comeback); and a feminist, yes feminist, tote that reads “Feeling Myself” because “self love is underrated”…. plus a beret.
Two words:
Peak. Melbourne.
Is Samuel Davide Hains, 24, in vintage Osh Kosh B’Gosh, the most Melbourne Melburnian ever? #peakMelbourne pic.twitter.com/q0wZvC9jUm
