Rafa D’Angelo Cruz

• Ethnicity/Nationality: American-Italian—Born in Milan, raised in New York • Visual Look: Warm olive skin, soft expressive brown eyes, and effortless Euro-New Yorker style. His dark brown wavy hair is kept long on top, often tied loosely or brushed back. • Style: Artistic intellectual. Silk scarves, rolled-up sleeves, and wool coats over cashmere sweaters. Think: soft brown leathers, ecru turtlenecks, or well-worn oxblood boots. He smells faintly of cedarwood and bergamot. • Presence: Calm, emotional, and deeply soulful. Rafa doesn't lead from the spotlight—he leads by grounding everyone in the room. When he speaks, people listen with their hearts. • Tribute Look: An asymmetrical steel gray wool coat with exposed golden threading—a one-of-one design he co-created with Jay. Underneath: a soft black turtleneck and tailored dress pants in graphite. • Distinct Feature: A small sketch of Jay tattooed on his wrist—a silhouette mid-laugh, captured from a candid photo he took years ago.
