On the Street....Garance in LA, Los Angeles [Thursday December 17th, 2009] thesartorialist http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2009/12/on-streetgd-in-la-los-angeles.html Garance and I stopped over in LA on the way back from Australia. The light here is incredible. Garance has been filming with her 5D like crazy. Eating breakfast outside on a patio in the middle of December is something I could get use to quickly. Book Soup is a great bookshop. Almost too many great book in one place and I can only carry a few more pounds in my suitcase. I did buy the new Paolo Roversi book Studio there, what a great book. Opening Ceremony is really dominating the fashion scene here. No other store has nearly the edit and variety of collections that they offer. So this leads me to painful question. What happened to Fred Segal? I see they've dropped Dries Van Noten but picked-up Amber Valetta's new collection...interesting. comment

On the Street....Melbourne Man, Melbourne [Tuesday December 15th, 2009] thesartorialist http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2009/12/on-streetmelbourne-man-melbourne.html I have heard a few concerns lately that this blog has become too heavily dominated by women's images. They worry about the "direction" of the blog. Well, I can say that the direction has absolutely remained the same. I've always only shot what I really love and that sincerity remains intact. Last week ,in Sydney, I didn't see any guys to shoot,, so....no guys shots. It would have been easy to take a few shots just to keep the mens audience happy but I just can't do that. I'm not saying that there are no stylish men in Sydney but that I just didn't run across any while I was there. The honest nature of this blog is that the images are a by-product of the cities I visit. Some cities are very strong in womens (Paris) and some in men's (Milano). I always keep my eyes wide open in every city but that element of chance is what keeps this job fun. Anyway, early next month I will be at Pitti Uomo (in Florence) which is the best mens shooting I do all year. So if you're needing your Classico fix just hang in there guys. 2 2 ♠ comment

On the Street....Everyday Couture, Sydney [Monday December 14th, 2009] thesartorialist http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/2009/12/on-streetevery-day-couture-sydney.html Vintage lingerie is still easily available at most good vintage shops. It is always shocking to me the level of handwork that use to go into ,basically, everyday underwear. For our lingerie experts Do you think this is just a design detail or a very elaborate mending job? When I was in college I learned a lot of couture sewing techniques. If I had ever turned in a garment with the hand-stitching so visible ,as the garment above, I would had gotten an F! However, the fact that you can see the hand-stitching in a garment like this is what makes it so charming and romantic. comment
