Despite being born and raised on the island of Oʻahu, there was a time when the word “aloha” seemed to leave a strange aftertaste on my tongue—unfamiliar and disingenuous.

Images by Brandyn Liu and courtesy of Passionfruit “I’m wearing my ‘don’t look at me’ outfit,” laughs the stylist and consultant Ben Perreira. In a cavernous SoHo office, Perreira admits this after his business partner Taylor Okata, a fellow stylist and creative director, exclaims, “These are my errands clothes!” It’s a small thing, but how both dress is telling, revealing that when it comes to fashioning themselves and the world around them the two are always operating on the same wavelength.
