Respect Your Elders: Style Influences

Drawing inspiration from the past proves that fashion repeats itself. Men of the 1940's, 50's, and 60's refined fashion. Clean lines, simple patterns, and tailored suits reflect the attitudes and sophistication of these times. These men are some of my personal style influences.




Woody Allen, the legendary screenwriter and director is known for his quirky yet sophisticated style. A fan of chunky sweaters, tweed, corduroy, and button down shirts. Woody Allen pulls off nerdy chic effortlessly. 






 JFK. Our 35th president, who defined and illustrated WASP. This all American style is seasoned and timeless. 





James Dean, the original bad boy. Dean perfected the white t-shirt and leather jacket look from the beginning. Sleek and smooth James Dean is undeniably cool, and makes it look easy.
