From my all-time favorite book - DES MODE ET DES HOMMES. The caption is 'Le chanteur Ronny Bird minet a l'elegance beatnick, vers 1966' I mean, that's just too chic to ruin in translation.
Anyway...I was freelance designing a menswear line and came up with this jacket - kind of a take on the original, in a rich, heavy cotton moleskin. As with many start ups, the line never saw the inside of a store, but I did get this sample...
