Style Icon - Bruce Pask (fashion director at The New York Times Style Magazine)

 

 Men's fashion director of The New York Times' T Magazine. Mr Pask also styles and consults for numerous magazines, department stores and designers. He has costume designed for the theatre, most recently for the 2010 Broadway revival of Promises Promises, by Neil Simon. 

 What I love about Bruce Pask is that he makes wearing a suit look casual but effortless. Most likely you won't see him a suit jacket with the matching pants; he'll opt to pair it with shorts, jeans, or khakis. The way he wears his jackets on his shoulders has this heroic cape-like quality that just goes to show you he's always comfortable, and not taking fashion as seriously as some of his contemporaries.

 “My big wardrobe adjustment is making a jacket into a cape, just taking it on and off because outside it’ll be so beautiful and inside it’ll be so stuffy. And it may look a little pretentious wearing a jacket on your shoulders but for me it’s just about temperature regulation, I just get so sick of putting on a jacket and taking it off all the time. It’s just practical.”

Style Icon - Karl-Edwin Guerre (street-style photographer)

 

Karl-Edwin Guerre is an artist and photographer with many interests. Probably the best-dressed street-style photographer out there, Guerre takes the crown as the king of swagger. His impeccable eye for capturing sartorial snapshots carries over to to how he immaculately puts himself together. He's never seen without a pocket square or a fanciful piece of millinery, and doesn't need an excuse or occasion to get dressed up. He has fun with fashion and playfully combines bold colors, patterns, and textures.

A dapper presence outside most NYFW shows, Guerre finds the modern masculine dandy throughout the city. Best checked before any attempt at serious pattern or color-contrasting.

Style Icon - Nick Wooster (Fashion Adviser to Gilt Man)

As Fashion Adviser to Gilt Man (he was Men's Fashion Director for Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus), Nickelson Wooster is the men's style icon for sartorially inclined young men. His style and attention to detail are almost unparalleled in the men's style world, and every time I see a new picture of I'm stunned at his creativity. Growing up in Kansas and working in a clothing boutique before stints at various fashion houses and Barneys New York, Wooster developed a style that marched to a different drum. The best part is that you never see this kind of style on the street. The style that Wooster has is interesting, sexy, daring, rugged and polished all at the same time and it seriously blows me away.

 It's pretty safe to say that Nick has instantly become an overnight style icon and has developed quite the following on the blogosphere. From his trademark handlebar 'stache to his rugged take on prep, Wooster's badass individual style commands attention.

Style Icon - Adam Kelly (Buyer at Selfridges)

I write this post because a reader of my blog warned me about the style of Adam Kelly. I admit that I noted several times his style but I have not given much attention.

Adam Kelly is buying manager - designer, formalwear and accessories at Selfridges ,he being always present at the fashion week in Milan and Paris.

He has a very nonchalant style , managed to do it with such ease that he doesn't look too buttoned-up or uptight. It's the way he casually accents a look with a neck scarf or opts for a T-shirt under a jacket that inspires you to dress up with a more relaxed attitude."

I really like the combination of green and white
