Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread
I was reading a piece by so called fashionista Nicky Haslam at the weekend. Whatever your opinion of him, he said something that made me think. He talked about being in New York and 'cutting through the acres of Brookes Brothers grey flannel'. Where is the glamour I wonder?
Miles had glamour, Chet had glamour, McQueen, Newman all the Icons we hold up on this forum.
Is everyone too concerned with keeping things low key, subtle?. Kids on here dressing like middle aged people. What will they wear when they actually are middle aged?
Daniele has that certain something. I wish there were more of his like. Larger than life. Memorable. Glamorous...

Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread
only speaking of myself now, while being a common man and living - both mentally and moneywise - as far away from stardom, glamour , 'bigger than life-ness' as possible i feel no need to pretend / act / dress otherwise. you may call it normal, boring, dull, whatever, which my life / dress may be but i'm very fucking content with that. and, a 'normal' / 'boring' life really ain't that boring at all.
like tom rath brilliantly stated: 'you never want to be the guy that they can see coming from a mile away. you want to be the guy they never see coming'. whether i have succeeded in that, it's not mine to decide. but that sure is my aim.
however, i agree re. daniele. he's on a level of his own.
actually, i'd love to see his wievs on this.

Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread
Come on Heikki, if you felt that dull and boring why do you keep sending in photos of yourself? To share your mediocrity with us all?
You want us to admire you. Which is good. We all want to be admired. Otherwise we would all wear grey overalls.
I just wonder how everyone is happy to call themselves dull as though it's an important part of the whole Ivy thing. I don't think It matters whether your'e Dutch, British or whatever '66.
Patrick is larger than life. I bet people remember him along time after they meet.

Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread
beatnik, i merely used the world 'dull' to counteract it: i think it was you who used it here (this topic) first didn't you?

Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread
Uncle said it best. We play with conceptions of "dull"... we make it look good. To our eyes. We leave "the others" puzzled, if we even get noticed in the first place.

Re: Fave pics from the IL Style for Today Thread

..sorry, couldn't resist. i've got a shit sense of humour AND a shit day at work. i'd need some acid for christ's sake.
..or perhaps some dull er DUFF lager would do.

Heikki. You are one of the good guys. A good barney sorts out who has a sense of humour and who is a shallow little shit like NSB. You rock!
