My pal Jay Carroll took me over to Rena Bransten Gallery to see the John Waters opening of his exhibition called Rush.
Love this painting of a young John.
Ike & Tina sculpture. Of course I was drawn to the clothing. His zoot suit and her fur are just amazing. Not to mention his boots!!
Though the colors on this were great.
Probably the coolest guy I've shot on the west coast.
Empty Note Pads
Loved the dudes colors/fabrics
A jewfro if I've ever seen one. Works for him.
Not sure about this one. Need to run it by Jeremy Scott. If he thinks its rad, well, i will too.
A look that only works out here in Hippie Dippie San Fran Skippie
Legendary skate photographer. Cant recall his name. Douglas Friedman maybe?
If you ever find yourself in Nashville, look them up! Housed in an old filler station. Really cool vibe in there. No cool guys allowed. Just genuine sweetness.
Staying true to my ways, I always check out bathrooms. Theirs is wall papered with old invoices! Love the hat & jeans hanging.
Love a painting where I can say ‘nice tie, love how his collar is up’. I shoot what inspires me, love art as if it were a tie itself. In this case i shot this and other pieces that are clothing/fashion related for me anyhow…
And the guys that are walking the show looking at art. They are most of the time too cool. In the best way. The coolest rich old dudes almost always have great style at these sorta things. Tweed, wide wale corduroys, double vents, great fits, Borsalinos, cashmeres, khakis, boat shoes, belted coats, tattersalls and messy hair!
All this Tattersall and wool, Lovethe ballcap too. If youre wearing a blazer and jeans, it best be a weekend! Since thats the cool guy uniform in NYC these days…
The boy in his pleats! Amazing, love his striped T shirt and pleated pants!
And this guys pants! A few pleats found here.
This lil fella is on point with his fair isle sweater/ flannel shirt. Too cool!
Creeper shoes which I am really feeling at the moment and some flag jeans!
And back to some classics! Check my mans turtleneck (ultra fine merino??) Cuffed khaki pants And those woven leather loafers!
The double cashemere knit program! I’m a fan. Especially with a tweed blazer.
Calvin Klein The Man Himself
The coolest look I saw was this guy, outside the show as I was leaving and he was pretty beat from walking with a stroller Im guessing, but Thank you for stopping for me!
If you are not already familiar with the term Go To Hell Pant, google it. These go-to hell pants were made 30+ yrs. ago for Mills-Touche in Tucson. Some close-ups of the print below.
And served as inspiration for a short pant version done right by Ralph Lauren’s RUGBY brand. If I were near the store today I’d cop them immediately! !
