Zebra-Clad Skaters

'Sidewalk Surfer' in BlackBook Magazine Shows New Street Style

Model Eric Ramos gets a little punk in Hollywood as a 'Sidewalk Surfer' in BlackBook magazine. The streetwise editorial appears in the October 2010 issue and was photographed by Blossom Berkofsky.

Fashion editor Christopher Campbell mixes plaids, zebra prints and a host of bold colors to create a truly modern skateboarding style. 'Sidewalk Surfer' in BlackBook features fashion from Prada, Acne, Y-3, Adidas SLVR and Bernhard Willhelm. We'll soon see if Campbell's vision translates on the street.
