It's Coming Back Strong, Pay Attention

I remember when being dressed well back in the day meant Sebago at your feet, Levi's 501 jeans and Faconnable on top.

Now with the appointment of Eric Wright of Cavalli & Lagerfeld. See the Esquire piece on the Raconteur here. I am finding Faconable once again and hope that he can bring new exposure and more modern looks that stay true to its Rue De Paradis, Nice (as in the city).

Some Pictures from the Spring '09 Collection:

 

My favorite pieces of the collection. Liking the cut on the double breasted suit and the yellow shirts; I'm always down for some colors. 

Your Most Indispensable Style Acessory

I often get asked what I wouldn’t leave behind if I was going somewhere to make a stylish impression. I usually answer: my eyes; and explain to the inquirer that while a scarf, a tie bar, or watch can do much my eyes can do a thousand times better.

A few years ago my brother introduced me to the mainstream men fashion magazines (GQ, Mens’ Vogue, Rolling Stone etc). The most helpful things weren’t the How Tos or other guides to decent dressing. Indeed I realized, akin to a classroom what distinguishes the best from the ordinary is the ability to see what many don’t.

My eyes aided me more in finding pleasing articles of clothing than any guide. As we embark on this journey I ask you humbly to see what I don’t, and sometimes that may require more than your eyes!
