0 One Icon, One Detail: Gordon Parks' Trench Coat

Gordon Parks was one the most legendary photographers of the 20th Century, capturing the grit and glory of this nation. And he was so successful in doing so because he understood the importance of character, of the little things that could make or break an image or, for that matter, a person. That knack carried through to his personal style, too, as you can see in this self-portrait from 1948, wherein Parks sports what would become a signature piece for him: the well-worn trench coat.

A trench just plain looks better all beat-up and faded from wear, and Parks, who used to wear his coat while shooting in all manner of conditions, had one of the best. Take a page from his book, and think of your trench coat like body armor. Wear it in the rain, in the wind. Let it get worn-out. Let it take all the day's hits for you. There's no need to baby a trench — hell, it takes its name from its WWI origins, so it's clearly not meant to be delicate. Rather, it's meant to look rough around the edges, showing the scars earned from your day-to-day endeavors. Follow Parks' lead. Don't worry about keeping your clothes perfect. Worry about living in them, because that's how you become a legend.

0 Paper Cut Tailoring

Our recent trip to Antwerp saw us take in some culture as well as just the over eating and stock sale hunting. One of the highlights for me, was the trip to the MOMU to marvel at the Paper Fashion exhibition. The exhibition brings together the most remarkable collection of paper fashion creations. In addition to the historic objects from Ancient China and Japan, the exhibition includes designs by Hussein Chalayan, A.F. Vandevorst, John Galliano, Walter Van Beirendonck, Dirk Van Saene, IsseyMiyake to name just a few. Although there has been no real question of paper fashion as such since 1968 (previously anything was possible with paper fashion from pop art to political campaign slogans), countless important fashion houses and designers have experimented with paper or with materials that resemble paper.

Of course the exhibition had a heavy womenswear slant but their were still the odd nugget of menswear to savour. Namely James Rosenquist's famous paper suit for Hugo Boss that he wore to Pop art openings and parties in the 1960s. Rosenquist in his paper suit transcended mere fashion and became the perfect embodiment of the era.

Recently remade of Tyvek(r) (a nonwoven fabric made from spun-bonded olefin) brings Rosenquist'spaper suit into the new millenium. This extraordinary garment represents the increasingly explicit link between art and fashion and marries the most enduring form of menswear with the "throwaway" nature of paper.

The fragility of paper stimulated the textiles industry to seek out alternative materials that looked like paper, but which offered more possibilities. Ultimately, Tyvek proved to be the only one of these materials that would continue to be used in the textiles industry to the present day. When I postedabout Saskia Diez's use of the fabric I was most intrigued by it and meant to explore its use further (Miuccia used it expertly to provide monochromatic colour blocks for MiuMiu SS07 collection - it became the outerwear of choice from the bomber jackets to the boxy plebian coats with micro collars) and was even pointed in the direction of Cloth House where the fabric is available. Following a great deal of papier inspiration at the exhibition I will make that trip to Berwick Street this weekend for a closer look.

0 The GQ Guide To Shirting

Think of Your Dress Shirt as Your Bulletproof Vest

It's the first thing you put on and your last line of defense. When you button it up in the morning, you should feel confident, in control, even invincible. Seriously, putting on a crisp, clean shirt that fits perfectly makes you feel like you're the boss. But here's the thing: A dress shirt is not any old shirt—there are a lot of details to get right, from the collar to the cuffs to the cut of the torso. All that said, buying the right dress shirt isn't quantum physics. You can find it at your local mall just as surely as at the fanciest, priciest, most fashionable store on Madison Avenue. You just have to understand the following principles.

A Few Items Every Guy Needs To Stay Stylish This Winter

While it may be cold, wet, and slushy outside, winter is no excuse to dress poorly. If you arm yourself with the right accessories and clothing, you can take on the elements while still maintaining your style. From touchscreen leather gloves to fitted overcoats, we've found 10 things all guys need to stay warm, dry, and stylish this winter.

A Chic Fitted Wool Overcoat

All men need an elegant wool coat that fits properly. This black wool "The Task" coat from Boss is slim and tapered with nice details like a subtle checked pattern under the collar. Pop the collar for extra style points.

A Down Parka

When the weather is so nasty that your wool overcoat won't cut it, you'll need an all-weather down parka. The Canada Goose "Chilliwack" down bomber jacket has genuine coyote trim, fleece-lined pockets, and a front storm flap for extra protection from the wind.

A Down Vest

Layer a down vest on top of a long sleeve shirt or sweater and you get a hip look that will also keep you warm. The Canada Goose Men's Hybridge Lite Vest has a slim tailored fit that will flatter your frame — no matter how many layers you pile on.
