gentlemen please!

November 14, 2008

 

so there has been an obvious art deco revival with the female side of fashion (flapper girls and the such) but what about the guys?? I think it is really time for us to bring back some of the classier times that was the 1920’s onwards this winter! im thinking really gentleman-esque attire here……..the cold has really hit us and I’m feeling the ‘gentleman’s’ coats, just above knee length, raglan sleeves , cashmere (of course) with large rounded fur lapels and fur lining.  high-waisted  beautifully tailored pleated trousers is a must! and I’m thinking mix it up with some classic patternsa mix up between dior homme pleating and embellishments with balenciaga tailoring would be perfect, but we cant have everything we want!! it has been all about the check/tartan for a good while(and it has been raped by the high street(mainly topshop and pennys) so for winter let us mix it up a little,(thats not to say ditch the tartan, i love it myself but simplicity is the way forward!) also it (being fashion) has become far too disposable, i know this is no major revelation and it has been stated by many other people but i have major of respect for the people who buy the more expensive new or really search out the vintage staple garments that are built for endurance and they wear again and again rather than trying to reinvent their persona again and again.

 

thats my rant…….take it or leave it!

 

opinions?

    love love love love love. that all came about after the great depression so we’re on the right track economy wise anyways. i have always believed that the 30’s was the most perfect decade for fashion. i think it’s time that men started dressing properly again; jackets, trousers(not jeans), real shoes. bring dapper dressing back!
