On the Street.... Martin In Midtown, Manhattan

From A Readers Email

ok I guess that was a mistake

The Re-See

I was surprised that in over 100 comments, no one really mentioned the pattern mixing and color harmony , which to me, was the best part of the look. I think sometimes a post gets hijacked by people focusing on what they dislike most and that overreaction keeps them from seeing the subtle ,sometimes very small, brilliance or ,at least inspiration, of a look.
I wonder what the reaction would have been if I only posted this detail shot?




When I said that he looked like he had just stepped off the runway I was thinking about the very strong Number (N)ine show that I saw in Paris. Whether you agree with the execution or not this gentleman did a great job at taking inspiration from a runway show (I'm totally guessing that he did) and finding items in his current closet that play on those concepts.

This Man Knows The Power Of The Well Chosen (colorful) Accessory

I love Cesare's ability to find "high impact"(but not necessarily expensive) accessories.

Colorful gloves (below) or a folkloric hat (above) add a subtle sense of humor to a seriously good suit.

On the Street....The Silhouette, Milan

Everyone knows I love the little details but sometimes the little details are less important than the overall silhouette.

I think this is a perfect example - the pleating details are only important for the overall shape that it gives the skirt. Any additional hardware or trims would just distract from the simple, beautiful lines.
