"VIVE LA VIE ELEGANT!"
One of the things I look forward to are the many stylish white parties that are coming up this season. Hopefully after man hours of careful preparation they will all be long remembered as evenings of unmistakable, landmark handsomeness... Many gentlemen have already put their tailors to work, others patiently shop to find just the perfect apparel for a splendid night of style. Like you, it is the heart and spirit of gentlemanly style that I enjoy celebrating and all the more gracious when done for a good cause.
As a young collegian I remember musing over the upcoming promise of spring and summer with one of my buddies, we romanticized ourselves living as artists in Paris, London, Brussels, Cairo and other exotic cities around the 1890's clad only in white linen suits. We'd talk for hours at a busy cafe writing and painting by night... or sketching in some smokey burlesque or after-hours venue. Victorian men always wore white linen suits when on holiday in the warm, exotic places of the globe. Wearing white is like exploring a new world. There are rules and then there are also so many chances to digress with color, texture and silhouette. I hope you are as excited as I am about the long warm days of summer clothed in white in the tradition of so many gentlemen before...
