As I spotted Brian on the streets, my first instinct was.. 3.1 Phillip Lim or Yohji Yamamoto. As I started talking to him, I was so right. He actually used to work for 3.1 Phillip Lim in New York. He appreciated hearing my thoughts on his inspirational style. FYI: (this is a 1950′s medical jumpsuit).
jumpsuit-1950′s; shirt-Our Legacy; sandals-Canvas; socks-Paul Smith; hat-Vintage; fragrance- Blue De Chanel by Chanel
It would be nice to see a designer making something like this. I would wear it in a heart beat!
Great meeting you Brian.

he has that instinctive individual sense of style that makes you just sigh & slowly move from head to toe to take the entire look in. if only more people expressed themselves through their clothing as well as brian.x

I’ve shot Brian in Surry wearing Phillip Lim before too, although not as bold as this look. Definitely love a guy who knows how to create his own style.

This is so Lim/Yamamoto and all of his own making – great style spot! x

I seriously love this look. It reminds me of the video for the song “Come On Eileen” from the 80s, I think. So fun!

Cool and unusual I like it. After all blending in is no fun and he doesn’t,which I LOVE. The fact that his jumpsuit is from the 50′s makes it even cooler.

Ok, so before reading this post I exactly thought the same! He looks natural in it!
