Since this has become the unofficial week of menswear here on my blog, I figured why not cap it off with New York fashion week photo on Friday. When I exported this photo from Lightroom a few months ago I named it “Very Important Man” in haste, thinking to myself that I woldd go back and redact the filename once I had trawled through enough blogs to see who he is. Alas, I still have no name for this “very important man.” I’m sure he’s a famous fashion editor/buyer/designer. But I’m even more sure that my trusty readers will identify him for me… right guys?
There seems to be a definite trend amongst stylish men of wearing jackets that are just a tad bit too small. Is this really happening or is that pesky second X chromosome leading me to hallucinate?
The most important thing to possess as a street-style photographer? Why it’s the ability to make people smile, of course.

This woman superbly demonstrates that even the classiest ladies can rock leopard print. It’s easiest to incorporate this high-energy print into a look on accessory pieces like scarves. We all know how tricky leopard-print dresses, cardigans, and pants can be to wear. Next to the face leopard prints only work in non-natural colors like blues and pinks because yellows are not flattering next to the face. That’s why natural brown and yellow leopard prints are most popular on belts and shoes.
Pinks will draw out the natural colors in the face without highlighting zits (as reds sometimes can). You can see here how the pale shades of pink in this woman’s scarf highlight her rosy cheeks and pink lips without overpowering her. She’s already drop dead gorgeous but her scarf is achieving the goal of all accessory pieces; to add to a look, not subtract.
Prova is the undisputed master of the investment leopard print scarf. In Chicago you can find them only at Ikram. In New York they are sold only at Bergdorf Goodman and Kirna Zabete.
Here are some fantastic pink leopard print scarves I found at a range of price points. This is also the perfect holiday gift for your moms, co-workers, sisters, friends, and girlfriends.
