Style Inspiration

The styling of fictional characters in film and television has always been one of my favorite ways of coinciding fashion and art. The wardrobe of a character brings so much more to the character's personality and can even tell a story of its' own without the character's help.

I recently started the Netlix Original series "Hemlock Grove" created by Eli Roth. The main (& my favorite) character, "Roman Godfrey" played by Bill Skarsgard (*brother of True Blood's Alexander Skarsgard) plays a spoiled son of his deceased father who ran the leading scientific lab corporation in Hemlock Grove. Godfrey's style is simple and classic yet on trend in the way of modern Menswear. His style consists of long coats, tailored pants, and classic tees & is perfect for the theme of the eerie-ness of the show and especially perfect for looking suave while brooding and lurking in shadows in classic Hollywood menswear film-noir like style (i.e. Marlon Brando, and James Dean).

ONE YEAR TODAY...

R.I.P. LEE ALEXANDER MCQUEEN

Today marks ONE YEAR since the Death of Designer and Visual Artist, Alexander McQueen.

This is My Ode, IN MEMORIAM to him.

I wrote this last semester in my Poetry Tour. It was my first assignment.

:NAMED AFTER 'PARADISE LOST' AND A PLAY OFF OF OLSON'S 'PACIFIC LAMENT'

(I wanted to literally type it on my typewriter, and I'm not the best at it yet so bear with me when it comes to mis-types.) Sorry :(

Hope you Enjoy.

You truly were a genius and there is 'no one who can cross that line' again.

Vintage McQueen and Anew.

Ok, So apparently I'm behind on my "Style Icon" family tree research because I have just recently been brought to the attention that THE Steve McQueen has a grandson, whose name is STEVEN McQueen, and he's already in the Hollywood spotlight. He is on the CW's Vampire Diaries, which I have not watched, so therefore maybe a hint to why I don't know who he is...UNTIL I saw that FLAUNT Magazine (which did not have the profile on their website, but oh well. =/) did a profile piece on him.

Anyway, now that I've been informed of this possible/hopeful passing down of Classic Style through the genes of McQueen, I will now be on the lookout!
