Re: Ozwald Boateng

He has some taste but there is a lot of tumult associated in my mind with his businesses.

I think he's the one that got it the most from the old guard when the new breed hit the row. I'm sure his name is still muck in some circles but he is now established on the worlds most famous street for suiting so he must be half right? At least he's more appealing to go to for younger people who don't come from "old money". Maybe thats not a bad thing.

Re: Ozwald Boateng

I think that Boateng  silhouette is a bit exaggerated,and this is not good.
I like much the 60s "clean" (not skinny) silhouette; i think that is sober,elegant,sharp.
But ultra skinny look is for 60s clean cut, the same that baggy bold look was for the drape.
Is dangerous because can bore fast the people.
I would like that 60s clean become "the XXI century new classic",overcoming the eternal 30s look.
But this is not the way,i fear.

Re: Ozwald Boateng

I reckon that London one is pinned at the back. Look at the amount of fabric under the arm. It seems to me unlikely that such a huge amount of excess is going to just fold around his back - as it would if he moved his arm forward. The fabric has been pinned to make sure it is skin tight over the chest and hips. If it hasn't been pinned then I suspect that the minute he stands normally, the collar will gape - that excess has to go somewhere and it can't fall down his body because it'll form a roll on the hips.

The Italian one is nice but I don't recognise it as being particularly 60s. It's a pretty conventional cut with an american roll over the top button, which detracts from it for me.
