Meet Mindy. One look at Mindy instantly reveals their vibrant, dapper style; while one interaction puts their heart of gold on full display. Apart from rocking a bow unlike anyone else, Mindy embodies so much of our ethos at Clifton + Leopold - namely, There Are No Dress Rehearsals and Don't Be Afraid To Be Too Much. Read on to learn more about our new friend, Mindy. We dare you to NOT be inspired by what they have to say.

Tell us a little bit about the story you're writing in your Clifton + Leopold?
The Revolution is Dapper. As a Visual Activist, if you are going to give me the side-eye stare I might as well be my authentic self and the star of the Mindy Show. Anyone can choose to be ordinary. I choose extraordinary. Everyone should.
Complete this sentence. I love the C + L ____________ because _____________ .
I love the C + L Broadway Bow because it is daringly elegant.
It's a Saturday! What are you doing? The same thing we do every night. Try to take over the world!
Your ultimate dapper icon: Dapper Dan and Tan France
It's quitting time on any given day. What are you sipping on?
Bourbon. Definitely bourbon. Whether it is an Old Fashioned, a Manhattan, a Sazerac, or a Vieux Carré – there will be bourbon.
A dance party is not complete without: Lizzo
Tell us, Mindy, what makes you feel dapper?
Pulling together a total lewk -- the details. From head to toe there is a story being told. Sock and shoe, trouser and boxer, shirt/vest/blazer and bow, pocket chain and lapel pin – they are each paragraphs in the chapter of the novel. When I show up dressed to the 11’s (because the nines are not quite bold enough) people know to expect the unexpected. That is dapper.
Thank you, Mindy! You've given us an intricate lesson in outfit details and dressing to the 11's, and a bevy of words to live by, going forward. The revolution is dapper, indeed (can we borrow that??)
