On The Street.......Old-School Braces, New York

Sometimes you see a guy and think that he must be pretty conservative and yet ,literally, just under the surface he has just enough humor to keep you guessing.

Apparently these are very old-school braces but they are soooo old-school that they look completely modern again.

Here is a link to the website of the company that makes them.

On The Street........Dressed Shorts, Milano

I think it is hard to make shorts look anything but casual but ,wow, this guy really shows how to dress up them up in a very real world way.
I also think this is a super sophisticated summer color combo - almost pre-dates Prada Summer 2008
This is the kind of shot I will revisit next March/April when I am starting to really shape up my summer wardrobe.

Old Buddy!, Milan

When I was at the Calvin show in Milan last time, just as a goof, I went to see if my painter friend was still around the neighborhood. I was surprised to see that he was in almost the same spot as last time having lunch with his co-workers.
I walked over and I didn't need to say a single word - it was like he had been waiting all day for his turn. We don't speak each others language, I don't know his name and yet it is like we are old buddies.

What could he possibly be telling his wife that morning? " Yes, I have to have my portrait taken today by a crazy American soooooo I will choose my navy vest and Orange nylon fannypack!"

He will definitely be getting a few prints next summer in Milan.

Ciao, Buddy!

Wonderfully Harmless Bravado, Milan

Not to get into the whole "rules" thing again but a guy standing-up always looks best with his jacket buttoned, don't you think?
