But it was during the pandemic that he became more interested in learning about vintage clothing and sharing his knowledge on social media. It’s all wholesome and approachable, a refreshing bit of fun for anyone vaguely interested in clothes, vintage or great mustaches.
And while massive popularity and inherent virality of forums like TikTok have established overnight (and equally fleeting) fame as a commonplace, Muzquiz’s in particular doesn’t go unnoticed, or seem to be going anywhere.
He cherishes old denim that looks to be stolen directly from a 70-year-old’s closet. I have a very varied background, and I also have a lot of genuine love for products and clothing, and I’ve worked as a fashion journalist at various points in my life, so I feel like I’ve done the interviews, I’ve gone to the factories, I’ve done the research.”
The “varied background” Muziquiz is referring to includes a degree from the prestigious Vassar College, where he studied history — his thesis involves the minutia of denim history, a fact he proudly relays — before returning to Los Angeles and working with premier denim dealers Heddels in both editorial and retail.
It makes sense that he’s good at it, having gone to a performing arts high school and then done sketch comedy and improv at Vassar. I didn’t come into this wanting to be an ‘influencer’, but it’s been a happy accident that I’ve been able to begin supporting myself using this, as long as it means that I can make more interesting things down the line.
He felt like existing content creators who offered style tips didn’t focus enough on the history, character, and ethics of pieces. Other papers in the department “were about the firebombing of Dresden or something, and I had this very silly write-about-jeans one,” he says.
After college, Muzquiz did some fashion writing and worked as a sales associate at one company that sells denim and other clothing and as a buyer at another.
Another early one, in which he jokingly offered to “cyberbully your boyfriend until he starts to dress better,” got three million.
@EdgyAlbert Is a TikTok Style Influencer We Can All Get Behind
Albert Muzquiz is convinced that every guy should own some serious raw denim. There’s a whole ecosystem of flashy influencers each vying for digital eyes with tailored recommendations, sponsored hauls, or aesthetically pleasing ‘fit checks.
However, Muzquiz isn’t quite who you might imagine a blossoming social media star to be; at the tender age of twenty-six, he actually teters on the “elderly side” of an app dominated by Gen Z users.
He leaves with three items: vintage Tommy Hilfiger shorts, a vintage high school varsity cardigan, and the all-cotton Dickies. He wanted to do something different, and his approach quickly worked. He revels in the basics. “Part of it is genuine, for sure,” he says, but part is playing a character. You know, have some decorum.”
Still, for Muzquiz, there’s some assurance to what he’s doing that there might not have been ten, five or even two years ago.
“I think that we’re coming to a place where people understand how this works.
“I’ve always wanted to talk about clothes with people,” Albert explains. Even in a saturated “FashionTok” he stands out; spurred on his charming good looks and penchant for dressing “like a hot dad,” Muzquiz’s content has struck a chord with millions of users looking for honest advice on how to dress well.
The intrigue with dressing well is at an all-time high, proliferated by an abundance of podcasts, articles, and yes, TikTok videos.
While he’s non-committal to what his future holds, he is certain about one thing: a fabric measuring tape and some inseam numbers can take you a hell of a long way.
