The Musician

Manuel (Manny) Rodriguez, 17, is a high

school student and musician.

"Alternative swag" is what Manny had to say about his day-to-day style.

The 17-year-old looks for fashion inspiration in Never Shout Never's frontman Christofer Drew, so the fact he considers his guitar and hair part of his outfit is no surprise.

Aside from his interest in music, Manny has an eye for potential in all places. He "skinnies" his own jeans, and his bowtie is really his sister's headband.

"When I look at myself in the mirror, I like to say 'Wow'."

Not only does Manny like to impress himself, but his style has also gotten the attention of his peers and even landed him a girl.

Ultimately, though, Manny believes everyone has their own style.

With that said, his favorite places to shop are F21, Hot Topic, Ross, and Famous Footwear (for moccasins, he specified).
