Easter Sunday & M. Jackson
This is how I’m feeling today..
Dignified, collected, composed, and self-assured.
Happy Easter!!
Cheers theme song
Having appreciation for great music and the positives of lyrics & melody, I woke up thinking about this theme song.
Aside from the aforementioned, the montage of images showcase some classic sartorial looks.
When your mind is in tune, inspiration can arise from the anywhere.
“Taking a break from all your worries sure would help a lot”.
Happy Easter weekend
Classic Ads
Classic ads are indeed true gems of expression. My eye appreciates the more unorthodox in all forms. Below please find excellent stamps of branding, creativity, and integrity.
Simply lovely!
Botany 500
The clothier of the gentleman, circa late 1950’s-1980s
TV shows of the 70’s and 80’s are great motivation pieces. The humor of the period, the set design and the wardrobe serve as great pieces of fashion history. While watching many of my favorite television shows of the 70’s and 80’s, one name in particular kept appearing in the “wardrobe provided by” section. The name of this company is Botany 500. Botany 500 mens suits and sport coats were manufactured in Philadelphia Pa. By H. Daroff and Sons and featured the classic silhouette of the age.
The color combinations were conservative and exquisite. The fit and attention to detail was amazing. As the pictures below attest, many of my current peers have borrowed elements from this company that for a time, created great sartorial pieces.
Important Men | Yves Saint Laurent
Some post do not require extensive text. This in an example. A vintage tribute to a fashion giant.
Enjoy!
Classic Visuals | Robert Palmer
A quintessential act for the video age
As the MTV age kicked into high gear, Robert Palmer was a man properly groomed for the video medium. Many of the videos featured great music, wardrobe and interesting choreography. Mr. Palmers suits and color combinations were always conservative and on point. The look was never uptight, always easy. The ladies featured in these videos were fashionably cohesive, from the hair to the outfits.
Nice.
Important Men | Nicholas Brothers
Effortless style, movement and presence
Being a fan of Sammy Davis Jr., James Brown, Michael Jackson, Fred Astaire, Gregory Hines and countless others, one cannot forget this stylish duo. No matter how difficult the foot task, Fayard and Harold Nicholas completed seamless dance routines, with impeccable style and grace. I am continually amazed by the duos innovative style of dance, vocal talent, presence and sartorial excellence. To witness professionalism, talent and style merge for such a regal result, is a blessing.
Thank you gentlemen.
Classic Visuals | Beach Boys perform “God Only Knows” (1969)
Harmony
The Beach Boys like The Carpenters have great lyrics and melodies. Live performances are always gems. You see the true talent of your favorite groups and the wardrobe choices. The culminating harmony at the end of this song is priceless.
