Le retour du chapeau : choisissez le vôtre

Les couvre-chefs étaient légion, aussi bien sur les têtes des amateurs de style classique que sur celles des fashionistas qui cherchaient tout à la fois à se protéger du chaud soleil du Pitti, mais également à donner un petit (gros ?) Coup de fouet à leur prestance car il faut bien l’avouer, un beau chapeau, ça a vraiment de la gueule. L’on peut avancer sans trop prendre de risque l’idée que l’invention du chapeau répondait jadis à des besoins purement pratiques : se protéger de la pluie, du soleil ou des dangers, dans le cas de chapeaux de protection. Plus tard, le chapeau prit une dimension cérémonielle – des casquettes d’apparat pour les militaires aux couvre-chefs élaborés pour les différents clergés, le chapeau devint un symbole de statut dans la société.

Two Nerdy History Girls: The Finer Points of an 18th c. Man's Shirt

For European men from the middle ages into the mid-19th c., the shirt was not only an indispensible piece of clothing; it was a democratic one, too. The shirts worn by George III would have been cut exactly the same as the ones worn by his grooms, as well as by Thomas Jefferson, Beau Brummel, Tom Jones, and Mr. Darcy. You know what they looked like: silky, lace-trimmed shirts cut to open like a modern tux shirt, on everyone from those Founding Fathers in the bank commercials to Fabio. Uh, no.

4 Things to Look for in a Good Pair of Men’s Shoes

We wear our favorite shoes hundreds of times before throwing them out or restoring them.

Sharen Davis Aims 'Django Unchained' for Oscar Costume Glory. Django Unchained's Sharen Davis may just become the first costume designer to earn an Oscar nomination for working on a Quentin Tarantino-directed film.

Sharen Davis Aims 'Django Unchained' for Oscar Costume Glory

She has the pedigree, with Oscar nominations for Ray and Dreamgirls, and Critics Choice and Costume Designers Guild Awards for her work on The Help. PHOTOS: 'Django Unchained' Costume Designer Sharen Davis Vies for Oscar Gold None of Tarantino’s films -- from Reservoir Dogs (1992) to Inglourious Basterds (2009) have garnered a Costume Design Oscar nomination, as the honor is usually reserved for painstakingly perfect period films beloved by the academy.

However, Ms. Davis is not just about history and glamour, her work is thoughtful, detailed and appropriate to tone. Django Unchained is the first time Sharen Davis has worked with Quentin Tarantino, as generally he favours using different costume designers depending on the project. Yet on this evidence the director is likely to employ her services again. Sartoria Domenico Caraceni. Timothy Everest - Bespoke.
