Homme Edition:: Seeing Double Part II...

Earlier this week I picked up the latest issue of GQ to do a little research. While thumbing through the enhanced style filled pages, I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Johan Lindeberg's "way-downtown" cool ensemble. A pair of everyday grey straight fitting jeans, crisp white t-shirt, and a pristinely pressed white double breasted jacket...Nailed It!

Post sartorial find, I took to the internets to find more.

The Caten boys sent down this luxe double breasted jacket as part of their Spring 2012 runway show.

For Spring 2011 Bottega Veneta showed a baggier version.

Gents, maybe you want to think about giving this a go?! For you first timers trying a double breasted jacket, take note of one thing:: double breasted suits can come with any number of button sets. But no matter how many, they should all be buttoned with the exception of the bottom button set.

Robert Longo:: Groove Is In The Heart...

Last week I was introduced to the American painter and sculptor Robert Longo. I can't seem to get enough of his series, Men In The Cities (1979). The way he has captured movement and emotion is beyond!
