The Look: 3

Lets totally analyze this photo of David. He is the focal point of the picture and he demands your attention in this photo, he is also the only still person in the picture. I find his subtle introduction of color to this navy blue canvas quite interesting. Most men are afraid to use colors because they aren't quite sure how to use colors or if those colors will work for them. However these colors that he has chosen seem to work out well for him. Pay attention to the way in which he didn't really roll up his sleeve but he unbuttoned it and let it carefully flare out just to add a little flavor to the outfit and finally bring your attention to the tie action. He tucked the body of the tie so that only a portion of the tie shows. Ladies and gentlemen you are viewing a man that is clearly inspired by fashion abroad; I would say London. He took way too many chances with this look for this to be anything that remotely resembles an American look. The majority of American fashion is safe and in some ways conservative, which is why critics think that Marc Jacobs is such a rebel, his clothes speak in volumes way above the competition and that is exactly what this outfit is doing; speaking in volumes way above the competition.
Good show chap; I say good show.
