A little over a month ago I visited the recently re-opened Washington Square Park. It was one of those unseasonably warm days in April with temperatures in the upper eighties. This was a beautiful day and people were about it.
This is a look I have wanted to pull off for years and just have not. The pleated pant with a Pocket T-.
I have seen this gentleman two or three times in passing on these city streets. This was taken a few years ago on the corner of Prince and Bowery i think. I love how he has a crest (pin) opposite pocket of where he keeps his pocket watch. Great fedora too. Hard to wear a small brim when youre not exactly small but he pulls it off well. Pleated trouser without really looking very full is a bonus. Last time I saw him was on the street with all the theatres after a play let out, I ran to shoot Larry King and passed this guy. Not sure why.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Rene Ricard, I wish you could see his Hermes pumps. Black leather with white socks. Oh, it was also snowing on this day! his socks were soaked. Love this man. Talk about ghetto chic.
While Im not a big fan of suspenders with clips exposed ( I dont mind when covered by a blazer). I do love his pleated jeans !
Rene !
Dante !
Peep his pleats
If you cant button your denim jacket and youre not posing for your next album cover, you probably shouldnt be wearing it. I have seen alot of guys lately wearing tight jeans, a vintage T- and a denim jacket. This guy is ALWAYS wearing some small canvas skippies. not VANS but some keds or fake keds. The kind that look femme!
Look at Johnny Hallyday ! Say what you will, These guys are wearing denim that fits.
