Character Driven – Mr. Haines
Dressing up for a day, driven by the style of a constructed character is a snappy ‘lil shortcut to refreshing a gentleman’s original, stale self.
In the Character Driven series, a single fashion find is fleshed-out, through its pairing with other items-of-interest, into a full-fledged, fictional figure, complete with a Treasury-issued name, age, and fatal character flaw.
This collegic crew from Paul Smith brought to mind a crystal lake canoe, but manned by a stiff city slicker, striving to shed his stuffiness (despite his overwrought weekend wear). EXTREME CLOSE-UP on: Mr. Bailey Anderson Haines.
Crew – Blue in Green
Thermos – Salvor Kiosk
Bag + Knife – Cooper Hewitt Shop
Loafers – Frye at Zappos
