New Years Cuff
To begin this decade, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year. I was inspired to write this post sitting on the train on the way to watch the London fireworks.
It begins with one site I like to follow pretty regularly, The Sartorialist. Scott Schuman (The Photographer) concentrates on the small details in what people are wearing and set up his website to show what he believed “was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life“. Visiting this website has made me spend more time really looking at what people are wearing, and try to imagine what Scott would say if he was writing about it. With that in mind I was pleasantly surprised to look down at my cuff on the way up to London and notice that it was perfectly layered – shirt, jacket then coat.
I shared this immediately with kookysistawiththehair, someone I knew would appreciate what I was talking about. Since it also made me think of the Sartorialist (which I’ve wanted to do an entry on for a while) I thought it would be a good way to get it into a post. If you get a chance, have a look on Scotts website, because if you have taken the time to read this article, you will probably appreciate what he has done for fashion in recent times. It’s also worth reading what he writes about his ‘’subject”, because it gives you an insight into the mind of someone who’s keen eye is always looking out for the smallest of details, a trait that has made him into inspiration for mood boards in studios all over the world.
Looking out for the small details that make something inspirational is one thing that I am going to try to do more this year. In a way this could be a resolution that for once, I keep.
Happy New Years to all and as always, keep it UJU
