Let’s discuss…
Recently, menswear has undergone a thrilling transformation, a development I enthusiastically support. The significant influence of men’s tailoring in the evolution of women’s fashion is remarkable and worthy of our appreciation. Let’s dive deeper into the exciting realm of men’s style. Jacob Elordi, an exemplary figure in this domain, skillfully merges masculine and feminine elements in his fashion, achieving a harmonious and captivating balance. The charm of a man who confidently sports a murse, complements it with vintage Alhambra VCA bracelets and radiates charisma in his effortlessly cool attire is genuinely remarkable.
It's hard to overlook the masterful styling in GQ's recent "Men of the Year" issue. George Cortina’s styling, effortlessly sophisticated, turns these images into a visual delight for fashion enthusiasts. The blend of “American Psycho” and Tom Ford aesthetics, with a dash of Dickie Greenleaf’s style, creates an irresistible allure.
Every detail in these photographs is artfully crafted. Using a soft gel on the lens enhances the contrast between the setting, the attire, and Jacob, bringing each element into sharp focus. It’s refreshing to see a man display such polished and refined fashion sensibilities.
In this shoot, George Cortina’s styling is a paradigm of iconic fashion, marked by innate elegance and precision. The ensemble features a pristine white Tom Ford tuxedo shirt and a sophisticated smoking jacket, each piece making a unique statement. The black cat-eye frames nod to Dylan’s style, while the custom oxblood slippers, a Cortina signature, add a touch of exclusivity. Matching the ensemble, the velvet Roger Vivier tuxedo loafers perfectly complement the luxurious leopard print Tom Ford robe. Personal favorites include the delicate pastel pink Tom Ford suit paired with Cortina’s famed oxblood slippers and a sleek white Amiri suit with Manolo loafers. In true Cortina fashion, the look is complete with all essential accessories, epitomized by the iconic lit American Spirit cigarette and signet ring.
