Who knew that a leather cap could add such charm to a pin-striped suit? These little additions make all the difference.  Notice the pin on the lapel – lovely.

This gentleman is the most put together subject I have ever shot. He said that he follows his mother’s style advice to this day: don’t be afraid to spend money on a good suit, it will last longer and you will look like a million bucks.

I met this woman at the mall, a great place to spot hot senior fashion. She told me she collects antique jewelry. She believes jewelry retains the energy of its previous owner and warned me to be wary of my purchases.

In other matters, this is an opportunity to bring up the topic of fur.

I’m not a fan of fur. I don’t think that it has a place in the fashion world today, what with the diversity of fiber options we have available to us. That is not to say that it doesn’t look fabulous, because it does. I also believe, that for an older generation it remains relevant; it represents a time and place where fur was once guilt free glamour. In conclusion, I am sitting on the fence.

Further discussion is much welcome.

Biblical Chic

The full untrimmed beard spans generations. Heavy-hitting cultural figures from Engels to Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) have kept the biblical beard en vogue no matter what the decade.

The look here is ‘textile mosaic’.  He combines a chunky wool hat, lightweight velour pants, leather gloves and suede shoes with a fur-lined leather bomber jacket and full facial hair.

It adds up to fashion chaos.  But walking down Broadway on a brisk afternoon, he was pure rock ‘n roll.
