The Star Of The Show

P4042904
To you he may look like a regular dude- Of course to me he’s a diamond. His green wool shirt and green t shirt initially caught my eye. Then it was his old Alan Mikli frames with contrasting temples and his beret. But his flannel wool sweatpants with Hush Puppie loafers were pretty radical. After talking for a minute I learned that his 1st job in N.Y. was designing at Mr. Mort. After a few days of him impressing the pants off everyone with his sketches and designs, Stan Herman asked to speak with him and told him “There is only 1 star here at Mr. Mort and that is me”. So he packed up and left.

The Armory Show 2010

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!P3061374
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…

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.
