On the eve of the most masculine public holiday, we talk about people whose wardrobe can be taken as a model by both men and women.
ACTOR
Ashton Sanders
Ashton Sanders is 21: only a few months passed between his drama studies and filming Moonlight (the top Oscar nominee for Best Picture). W Magazine and WWD already write about him, but Ashton still prefers to dress like walking in his neighborhood - he wears oversized bombers, classic high-top sneakers and the obligatory beanie hat. True, before entering the red carpet, he still consults with stylist Jesse Gemts. As a result, the classic Louis Vuitton suits fit on him just as well as Topman and Asos. Especially in combination with "martens" - Sanders does not disdain the mass market at all.
CHIEF EDITOR ANOTHER MAN
Ben Cobb
Well-set bell-bottoms, half-open translucent silk shirts and loose shoulder-length hair - Ben Cobb looks like it's 1971 and The Smith is about to enter the Glastonbury stage. He himself says that his style was influenced by the films of Dario Argento and the police action films of the 70s. And no, he doesn't dig into vintage stores and flea markets. The secret of the persuasiveness of his retro uniform is that the image is still built around the modern things of Tom Ford and Gucci. He buys those he likes in several copies at once: when it became known that Hedi Slimane was leaving Saint Laurent, Cobb bought all the available pairs of shoes of his size from the latest collection.
FORMER CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF YVES SAINT LAURENT AND ERMENEGILDO ZEGNA
Stefano Pilati
“It's just a disaster. Modern men only want comfort. Hence the popularity of this featureless comfortable shoe. Why not get a pair of classic brogues, a pair of clogs for out-of-town trips, and sneakers for every day.”Stefano Pilati's ideas about elegance can serve as a reference point not only for men. Double-breasted suits, cashmere coats, white shirts - time seems to have no effect on his wardrobe. Will you want to wear Louis Vuitton / Supreme collaborations in 30 years? We have a presentiment that the hype will pass, but nothing will happen with elegance. And the point is that Pilati always avoids things that are social markers. So, for example, he doesn't wear leather jackets because he doesn't want to resemble "those guys who hang out in the Mare quarter."
