So, the most difficult thing about planning the wedding thus far is actually Joe's ensemble. Men's fashion is such a sad state, particularly if you want to show any kind of stylish flair. Alternative mens fashion is littered with puffy blouses, pirate gear, vampire coats and other VERY goofy costume garb. The other end, the typical menswear, is boring pronounced with an oring. Joe is not interested in a plain suit, nor does he have oodles of time to dig through websites or stores.
Flash forward to yesterday. I was watching the new Bravo show "The Fashion Show". Inspiration struck in the worst sounding place: the first eliminated designer. His line is called Elmer Ave. He is actually and amazing menswear designer who unfortunately did not do so well at the first challenge. He has a store in downtown LA and a website full of great blazers! Joe seemed to like them better than anything else we've found so far, so a trip to the shop is in our future! Paired with a cyberoptix tie and some lip-service pants and we might finally have a winner!

Those are all pretty sweet!
ReplyDeleteWe went to their showroom and it was pretty sad in person ($400 and none of the Blazers matched Joe's "color theme" =( )
ReplyDeleteHowever, their shared a space with Skin Graft, where he ended up finding a top/holster combo! YAY!
