It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me

Billy Joel, "The Piano Man", is an icon of the musical scene from the late 70s and 80s. He is responsible for hit songs such as: "Just The Way You Are", "Honesty", "Piano Man", "Uptown Girl", "It's Still Rock N' Roll To Me", and "We Didn't Start The Fire" amongst others.


Shown below in the early 80s, he is wearing an outfit that can be worn perfectly this Fall/Winter. All that's needed is just a pair of jeans, a leather jacket (preferably a Bomber), and a t-shirt.

The elegance of a scarf

Scarves are a must-wear in my opinion during Fall/Winter, not only because they are ideal for the cool temperatures, but also because they can "spice up" any outfit. Available in different colors, patterns, and materials, scarves are an item that never goes out of style within the passing of time.

Fall Winter 1966

There is nothing more elegant and perfect for this fall winter's parties or everyday life than a sleek/well fitted black suit paired with a skinny tie. A photo from 1966 that depicts a male model with the outfit mentioned previously, along with a female model who's wearing a Mary Quant bicolored coat with the very popular blue tinted round shaped sunglasses. Less is more....

The Who

During the 60s Great Britain gave the world sensational music acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and The Who, just to mention a couple of them. Their conquest on the US Billboard charts during those years is refered as "The British Invasion".

The Who one of the most iconic groups from this period, just like their musical peers, became one of the representatives of men's fashion in the 60s. Below we can see its members donning Mod hairstyles paired with "avant garde" clothes for those years. Peter Townsend's "Union Jack" jacket gets all of the attention on this photo.

"La Dolce Vita" inspires advertising

This is my blog's 200th post and to conmemorate this milestone and thank all of my readers for their support, today I'll be posting a very original advertising campaign from 2006. What makes this campaign original is that it is 100% inspired on the 60s cinema classic "La Dolce Vita".

I won't tell you what this campaign consists of, since words can't be precise to describe it. However I can tell you that the first time I spotted this advertising campaign was while strolling on 7th Avenue in New York City back in the summer of 2006. Below a photo of this very original billboard.




Months later I stumbled with the TV spots which were part of this campaign. Below you can see the black and white & color versions of these spots.

Less is more at Studio 54

"Black is elegant and goes well with everything" and "Sometimes less is more" are two style proverbs that are heard constantly on the street and on magazines. An example that combines both of this principles of style is the photograph below. Taken in the summer of 1978 at Studio 54 we can see Barbara Carrera and Jerry Hall with two gentlemen who are both wearing black suits with unbuttoned wide collar shirts, and nothing more.


A classic, elegant, stylish, and functional outfit to hang out at the club with your friends all year round.

Travelling with Marlon Brando

Marlon Brando, Hollywood Legend, best remembered for his roles in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "The Godfather", is photographed below while strolling around a crowded airport in the 60s. Who said travelling and style were not compatible?
