But ever since James Aguiar and Mark Haldeman met ten years ago, they have—mostly—been on the same style wavelength. “The mannequin and the eye painting, that is definitely more me,” says Aguiar, a former fashion director at Bergdorf Goodman who’s often on Full Frontal Fashion. “I used to do windows, and part of me loved getting a person to stop
