Introducing....

I have the distinct pleasure of introducing my friend and partner on this casually luxurious experience. Brandon Douglas a fellow dandy. Imparting his words on style.




IT PERSONIFIES YOU...

Style represents the visible manifestation of lifestyle, worldview, and epistemological stance. Although typically viewed as trivial, or possibly superficial, the clothing one wears often reflects the crafting and development of a man and his place in life. What is important to note however, is that style is more than the selection of fashionable items in trend with the masses. Style cannot be developed from merely piecing together the purchases of the latest seasonal lines of one's favorite department store or retail chain. It takes a reasonable knowledge of taste, an individualist flair, and an aesthetic appreciation of color, texture, fit to really understand and interpret personal style. In order to ascend to above the commoditized forms of superfical "flyness", one must approach the realm as fashion as more than just appearance. The necessary approach must examine fashion and the development of style as a transcedent attainment of the aesthetic. Furthermore, this transcedent attainment of the aesthetic must be approached as an artist would approach a canvas. Each piece of clothing represents a technique, a color, a texture in the composition of a larger work of art. With that being stated, personal style should not necessarily resemble what your fellow man finds fitting or intriguing in his physical and visual appearance, but should be one's own fashionable construction and interpretation of lifestyle, worldview, and epistemological stance. Whether it be polished or weathered, refined or rebellious; a man must wear his hats, pants, shirts, ties, socks, shoes, and more in his own method of composition, reflecting his own inner workings and personal style.
