Styling The Man

There is a new sheriff in town @keinobenz and it’s this unique, stylish Men’s accessory called the pocket-round! No matter how hard we try or how much we frown, our gentleman friend will forever be around.

He knows the many ways of the world and gets more impressive with just a twirl. Pay close attention to his confidence and how he fully understanding what it takes to render an outfit inspirational, fresh and timeless. http://etsy.me/z0X3hB

This is how we achieve that timeless, manly look, by working our way up. Before I worked for Ralph Lauren, I knew little about building inspiration boards, but, by the time I left, I had mastered the art of them. As you can see It’s simply amazing the latitude one gets as a stylist with Grey as your weapon of choice, especially with shades of Lavender/Purple as supporting actors.

By the way, notice the Pocket-Round? , Are you in love yet? Isn’t it something? It is one of the most elegantly simplistic Men’s accessories I’ve ever owned and created by that wonderful designer, whom ever he is. They’re good at enhancing personalities and polishing up charms. I’m one to believe If you’re dressing your clients in pocket-rounds, then consider yourself a few styling steps ahead of the game. Pssst, here is a good place to start your collection, Alexander Olch.

Here is my confession! I love this ensemble worn by Mr. New York Knick @carmeloanthony on @HauteLivingMag December 2011 / January 2012 cover. First time I laid eyes on it, instantaneously it became one of my all time favorites! A little Blues Brothers, meets Vegas/young RatPack and 1940s Harlem. It deserves a standing ovation in my opinion.

Notice an interesting way @lovingrachel to wear Navy & Red, with patterns. These cargo pants I think, adds a nice urban touch.

When I styled Dj Nit for this photo shoot, my aim was to unite the past 20 years of his influences, in a place where it all started. His bedroom.

The fact that Men today spend more money on their clothes than men many years ago, I am shocked more department stores with a Men’s formal wear department haven’t taken a stronger initiative to employ more in-house Tailors. When ever I look around, I see way to many of my fellow Men draped in ill fitted suits and not a clue of how it is supposed to fit or feel.

The Arroz con Pollo by Jean-Michel Basquiat is one of my all time favorites of his work! It’s dysfunctional, with a touch of tradition and splashes of social ineptness!
