Thanks for all this reasoned stuff. In my opinion, style has to have a reference and some of these only reference fashion now which is why they are boring. It disappoints me that they have stylists. At least Gilchrist is 'referencing' which is probably why he's been a popular choice - but he should know what he's doing.<br /><br />I never thought of the white socks coming from Michael Jackson -hoped they were more inspired by 50s/60s spivs. You have a sharp eye for Walliams' wristband and square-toed shoes. They didn't offend me but now I think about it... On the other hand, endearingly unconcerned?

If Daniel Day-Lewis had worn blue suede shoes, or lime green, or yellow, I'd consider him daring. Brown? Not so much, as the kids would say.<br /><br />Simon Cowell and Stephen Webster are cut from the same cheesecloth, and I can't believe that they wound up on <em>any</em> country's Best Dressed List. "Plan B," whom I imagine to be some sort of white English rapper, looks positively repugnant. Tom Hardy, Dominic Cooper, Jenson Button... blah, blah, blah. No imagination whatsoever. Jude Law used to be quite dashing, but now he looks like an aging rent boy. <br /><br />I respectfully disagree on David Walliams -- I don't like a black tie with a blue suit; and he's far too portly to be posing like Mitzi Gaynor or Cyd Charisse. The white silk dress hose <em>is</em> pretty fabulous, but creepily kinky and (in my eyes) inappropriate with non-formal attire. <br /><br />William Gilchrist <em>was</em> my favorite, until I Googled him, and discovered photos of that ensemble face-on; it was just too, too twee and contrived (and doesn't fit as well as it seems). I also had no idea who he is, and imagine my horror at discovering that he's a stylist -- my absolute least favorite word on the <em>planet</em>.TJBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09180041865489453236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-205231727184713705.post-72876282263709373122011-01-07T11:17:51.710-05:002011-01-07T11:17:51.710-05:00Home, you get to the nub of things.
