Bowie to Bowie

 Dries Van Noten pants and bag, random blouse, Ferragamo shoes, 



Of course, after my last Dries gushing, I had to go put on my Dries " Bowie" pants.  I completely love how Dries combined different era David Bowie ('70s and '80s) while putting his own signature twist, to create the most original pants I've seen in a very long time.  The shape alone is quite innovative--the dropped crotch (but not dropped in the the popular way), the slight flare that breaks quite low, the oblique single pleat--all things I haven't seen on a trouser before.  Throw in an amazing print, and I'm thoroughly enamored.  The printed pant may not be for everyone, but if you're looking to shake things up for work (and beyond), there's never been a better time than now!

On an unrelated note, I was perusing Tommy Ton's latest style.com pics and came across the one below from Paris--familiar combination, no?

At least let me pretend....;)

  1. Those are fantastic pants!!! I think I need to see them in person because the photos aren't doing them justice.

    PS: your version of the band shirt outfit is sooooo much better. Tommy Ton's stereotypical Hermes cuff + Celine box. What an individual!
