I really struggled to decide whether I should post this photo. I don’t watch any of the Kardashian TV shows. Everything I know about the Kardashians comes via my favorite celebrity blogger Michael K, and let’s just say he doesn’t paint the most flattering picture of them.
That being said, I think this is a beautiful image of a gorgeous woman. If you remove all the pre-existing Kardashian references and judge this image on its aesthetic merits, this photo absolutely deserves to be seen by my readers. It just took me a week to realize it. As a creative person I try to push myself beyond prejudices and to confront internal biases when I recognize them.
If you look closer, you’ll see that his knit tie is squared off at the end. This seems to be a growing trend among the cutting-edge male fashion set, as it was even picked up on by The Sartorialist. I wish I could take credit for noticing such a small yet important detail, but we all know how little I truly know about menswear. I know my readers would call me out for lying in a second, especially Tommy. I love that about you guys, you keep me real (as long as your comments are thoughtful and respectful. It’s ok to disagree with me about a photo, just make sure that it’s constructive and not just Anonymous-style bashing).
