One of the most influential, dapper and powerful men in fashion is without a doubt, Hamish Bowles. European Editor at Large for Vogue Magazine, he is the defintion of my favorite term “dandy”. His style is classic, colorful and always chic. Through my ever increasing learning about fashion & style, I admit to adopting a few points from his style of dressing. Peak lapels, colorful pocket squares, double breasted blazers, oxford wingtips, and of course the bow tie, are all some of my favorites. In my opinion, American Vogue has 3 main giants that are at the peak of the fashion pyramid, Anna Wintour, Hamish Bowles and Andre Leon Talley. These individuals are iconically associated and in some ways direct a facet of our lives called , fashion. Hamish is truly a leader in fashion journalism, and a predominate figure in style and the arts.
Letter From The Editor: Individualism
Posted in Art Nouveau with tags Art, Articles, Inividualism, Letter, Poet, The Black Nouveau, Writing on July 31, 2009 by James Field
Originality and personal style, is something that should be embraced and cultured, for it is a unique, and important identification of ones self. The ability to take pride in your appearance is strength that is hard to come by. I believe self respect is a powerful thing, and once you have it, your unstoppable. When you feel like people may not understand you because you like to dress a certain way, listen to a certain genre of music, or eat specific foods, remember who you make these decisions for, YOU.
Individualism- Is the moral stance, political philosophy, ideology, or social outlook that stresses independence and self-reliance.
