Distressed in Getting Dressed

The founder of www.dandyism.net (an excellent resource on things dandy) has a great piece in the LA Times, Antique Chic.

Fred Astaire popped into his tailor's shop with his usual jaunty step. His new sport coat was ready, and as the tailor proudly draped it on Astaire's svelte physique, the style icon looked in the mirror and expressed his approval. Astaire then quietly removed the jacket, and—to the horror of its creator—rolled it up and threw it against the wall. "Now it's ready," he said, putting it back on and sauntering out the door.
More thoughts on fashion will be coming soon.
