They are one well dressed couple. Most men haven't the inclination to keep pace with the sartorial efforts of their spouse. This is a match made in heaven.

Thanks so much for this, Mr. Bern! I'm working on my own "answer" to Joe's photos. It's high time to get all those vintage clothes of mine photographed, since most of 'em have never been.

Marc, I've enjoyed many of your posts and what you have photographed (zoot suits, shoes, etal.) quietly and would love to see more!

The series continues with 3 more looks, including today's profile in which Joe discusses a pair of pants he found when vintage shopping in Southern California. The Universal Studios tag was pretty obvious, and through further examination, he found additional info inside a pocket indicating that they were made for Rock Hudson in 1949 not long after he signed his first contract. Dry cleaning marks suggest regular wear, but the condition of these pants is fantastic. And the fit is too, which suggests that Joe pretty much has the shape of a young and hawt Rock Hudson. So he quietly paid his $24 and left the store with a pretty cute smile on his face. Enjoy!

Great outfits. I really enjoy the pictures.


Is it just me or are the color on the page too bright and shrill?

 

[Mario]

Somewhat oversaturated, yes. Gives the photos a slight 70's/80's feeling.

Ah, fair question. This is a style blog by a contemporary artist. He manipulates the photos in that way on purpose. Just his vision...that's all.
