For years now I’ve been seeing the strapping images of these impeccably dressed fellows EVERYWHERE. They are some of my favorite photos…from their dapper clothes, to their stance, every detail is poetic. I finally decided to spend some time searching for who they actually are. They are Shaka Maidoh and Sam Lambert of Art Comes First. Shaka Maidoh is a British born stylist and visual designer and Sam Lambert is an Angolan born digital, visual designer. Together they created their own design collective called Art Comes First. They work with other creative individuals on interesting design projects. In their own words, “We founded the ACF in order to circulate sartorial nourishment, oxygenating time-based projects through dynamic collaborations with different creatives in their network.”

How did you guys become a design team and why a focus on menswear?
How would you define the Art Comes First man? Where does he travel? What does he live?
