Modern Day Style Icons

[herringbonekid]

are there any modern (i.e. living) people who you think have a great sense of personal style ?
they could be famous, semi-famous or not famous at all, and they don't have to wear vintage clothing.

if you want to mention an actor it should be for what they wear in real life (i.e. their personal taste) rather than how they were dressed in a particular film.

please don't nominate other FL members... we've already demonstrated our style prowess. this is for fresh inspiration.

i have no idea what this guy does for a living, but i've seen him on various blogs. i like the way he puts outfits together:

Cool cat. I only knew the first two pictures. I guess he works with RL? I spy a few items

 

[herringbonekid]

I guess he works with RL?

probably, but i hope he does something more surprising like landscape gardening.



my next choice is David Lynch; great hair, always wears a white shirt with no tie, and used to go out with Ingrid Bergman's daughter. legend.

Love Lynch!


I was racking my brains trying to think of a modern style icon, couldn't come up with anyone.
Finally I remembered Hooman Madjd, a political journalist who has incredibly good taste:


He also has a style blog:

Well... the trousers are nice. The rest not so much.

That's a nice outfit. Very classic. It has that air of 'just thrown together' that hides how much thought probably went into it.

Metatron, thanks for contributing to the thread.

this is Ethan who works at http://thearmoury.tumblr.com/
he makes modern high end clothing look very timeless. i suspect there's quite a bit of 'vintage-inspiration' involved:

HBK! you've nominated a FL MEMBER on first post! That's Raymond and he's been a long term member here. I met up with him and other FLoungers in NYC at the Flat Iron. Great guy. Good style sense. He worked with RL for two years in NY.

Paddy, do you mean Ray Chu ? if so, it's definitely not him. apparently the guy above is named Joseph Au.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Yeah, that's not Ray.

here's another of Hooman:

his blog says he owns a couple of suits by the late Michele Savoia (in an "exaggerated 1930s or 40s style") so he obviously has more than a passing interest in vintage too.

Oh c'mon! You literally chose the worst photo.
And I don't think that's such a bad look all in all. maybe a bit too much with the bright beanie.

Matteo Geoli of 'Super Duper' hats brand.

I'm not keen on the small, very square pockets on his jackets. They look rather carelessly applied.

 

[Feraud]

This is a great thread! There are a lot of regular folk I look to as style icons. I'll try to post a few pics..

I've met him a couple time... pretty snazzy. It's that Grandpa chic.

 

[resortes805]

Without a doubt, Mr. Freedom himself, Christophe Loiron!

The small chest patchpockets are more like little nipple pockets.

I can't find any more guys except the cast from "I am dandy" but I've found a few more shots from Joseph Au. The first guys HBK mentioned and my favourite in the current line up. I like everything he wears except the hats.
