Curt Camerucci aka our Welcome Stranger model, aka one half of the DJ duo Flosstradamus, says of his music career, “We make people dance at the party, in the club, in the car, at your house, in your undies, and so on”, and who could be mad at that? This well-intentioned DJ also has super cute style—just check out the sambas and gold chain he showed up to our shoot wearing. I have a feeling that’s why Kierra of Welcome Stranger hand-picked him to model their collection for us! Get to know a little more about Curt in our interview.
