The quintessentially stylish man I have come across (on the internet). And thank God I did! I was working on a menswear collection and wherever I seeked for inspiration, pictures of him kept popping up, and I realized I knew this face from somewhere.. was he an actor? A musician?! A writer perhaps… Ah no, not quite any of those. My resources suggests he was the creative director for certain big brands, including jcpenny. Impressive. I can almost say for sure he must be damn good with his job. Such class. Style. God.
Detail and fit are key, in his clothes. Perfectly tailored, he wears stuff as if it were made for him, and only him. Not a button that should be left unbuttoned would be unbuttoned [and vice versa], who says you can’t wear checks on checks? Stripes on stripes? No one. Colours mismatched in the most appealing way. That’s Nick Wooster. He’s traditional in a not so traditional way. He’s conventional in an unconventional manner. Total badass.
He’s made quite the charismatic presence on blogs, websites, etc, everything from the hairstyle, to the shades to the totally rad tattoos, to how he dresses himself, that moustache, not a freaking hair out of place, talking of hair- don’t let the silver mass on his head fool you… he’s still in his early 50’s. Okay wait, I’m getting carried away. All I mean to say is he’s rocking his look.
I should stop before I make it sound like I’m in love with the guy. Just that there’s always endless admiration for folks who dress beautifully that makes me appreciate fashion even more, and shows everybody how much fun you can have from playing with fabrics, the colours, style and so on. That’s where we, people who appreciate fashion connect. See, fashion is when you can look at someone, and feel the impact from what they’re wearing. The statement that gets made. This guy, he pretty much nailed that. And if you call that being in love with fashion, then be it!
