The Thomas Crown affair

Movies have a great impact on style. An example? The Thomas Crown affair (the 1968 version, not the 1999 remake). This is one of my favourite movies ever, one of whom most influenced my idea of elegance.
A businessman, Steve McQueen, in need of diversions with a luxuty lifestyle: he plays polo and golf, flies a glider and drives a dune buggy (also a Ferrari and a Rolls Royce). A beautiful, supersexy and intelligent investigator, Faye Dunaway. A complicated love story. A perfect soundtrack.
After seeing this movie I decided to buy a pair of Persol PO714 that I'm actually using and I think I'll never be tired of. Here some pictures, the trailer and a track of the OST. Hope you enjoy.
What are your cult movies?

STYLE ICON: Alasdhair Willis

I'd like to introduce you some people that have a great style but that aren't considered style icons by the most. Usually when I hear the world "style icon" my mind thinks about the greatest Hollywood stars, like Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Alain Delone and Robert Redford. In the majority of the styleblogs you can see people like Josh Peskowitz, Nick Wooster or Lino Ieluzzi. They have an incredible style but I'd like to show you something different. 

A Rolex Explorer, not a Submariner, a Daytona or a Datejust... from this little detail (always present in every outfit) you can understand how Alasdhair Willis is an "out of the box" style icon. Neutral colours, tuxedos, a cream trenchcoat, double breasted jackets and colurful socks. What I like of his kind of elegance is that he wears super cool designer products with streetwear accessories, for example tuxedo with Converse (you know my passion for suit&sneakers!!). Also a beautiful and superfashion wife (Stella McCartney) helps in being a style icon ;)

Ad maiora.
