Good thinking, Perry. I’ll give it a little while. We just don’t know, although this is obviously only a cameraphone shot and the finished images will probably take a while to go through postproduction and publication…

Does that jacket look like boiled wool to you? It’s probably mohair or cashmere, but all that’s missing is cap with a feather. Are those colors true? Is it powder blue with pink piping?
Bring back the Prada he owns.

No – doubt it is pink. That’s classic cross-lighting on a cameraphone, that pinkish hue. Compare his shirt. I doubt it is a powder pink shirt.

I’m guessing white shirt and white for the jacket trim. Hard to say what the fabric is. Could even be a type of tweed?

But there’s pink and blue in the tie. That’s why I wondered at the color of the jacket and trim.
LikeLike
Good point! Maybe it’s to co-ordinate with the blue of the jacket? IDK – I’m no fashion expert!! I wish we could see him standing up then turned around. Who knows, the whole body shot along with the back view might improve our perception of the whole get-up?

I’m not fashion challenged – though I don’t have the same confidence about mens’ wear as I do women’s. Here’s the thing -no man is going to wear that anyplace but on a runway or a fashion shoot. I don’t like the rolled jeans either. ( I like the putty colors of them).
LikeLike
yeah, something about that color combined with that is unbelievably offputting. I was just thinking, if the coat were dark, OR it was a sort of “cattleman / cowboy” brown. As is, it looks like an adult size of the kind of little boys clothes popular for the Windsor set around 1930 — you know, a coat like that, short pants, a tie, and the Mary jane slippers they still put on boys back then.

True. Boots look promising though. Overall impression – a) somebody call Robert Ascroft, b) or let the man dress himself, c) why did that drag him across the Atlantic for that, when he was all nice and comfy in his own clothes? 😀

I am so rolling on the floor my *a* off. You are all so wonderfully hilarious and that’s sorely needed – especially with those clothes. Yes, Serv *dressed himself* was definitely sooooo much better. I also love the idea of instant karmic retribution. Otoh, if all those reports of the past days are true, the man must feel like a yoyo by now, with all that crossing the pond to and fro. And then those clothes – sighs.

I really don’t like talking about this sort of thing much, but I am just not understanding men’s jacket fashion lately. Is it a retro 70’s thing going on or am I otherwise missing something? And I currently don’t were anything with Piping. I know is was big in the 50’s. Is that making a comeback? I just don’t know anymore.

Yeah… the jacket, to me says “I’m a woman from the 70s!”; the jeans say, “I’m a hipster from 2 years ago who’s trying to keep his pants dry in a flood!” But the rest says, “I’m Richard Armitage and I’m so sexy that I make even this look good enough to eat. With a SPOON.” lol

I agree with all your very funny comments… thank ladies, I needed a laugh. Just a thought: I recently saw a photo session in a magazine where they succeeded in transforming Natalie Portman in a bad dressed whore with an horrid make-up. It takes an University degree in bad taste to do such a thing with a woman like NP. So I ask myself: why? Is there a reason for such criminal behavior? Some photographer/stylist should be put unable to do harm. Stop ruin beautiful human beings like RA and NP for your silly photo sessions.

Wonder whether those really young stylists put any effort into research about the actual person they are going to dress up (masquerade). It’s all about celebrities! Is it, that they find several clothes they personally like or they were offered to them from various designers and they put them on him. if they suit him or not? (I have NO problem with him dressing in other colours than black!!) To mirror Mr. A’s personality obviously seems not to be to the fore, it just has to be loud and trendy, and as everything nowadays has a shortened due date. it is almost round the corner and irrelevant (of course not for us!!!) shortly after it has been published, and soon after will be buried under thousends of other images on their site (or is this also a printed magazine? A bit hard to figure that out from here). Or maybe I/we just want too much?? RA is no fashion hipster, especially not a NY-hipster (who knows, maybe he want’s to be one! 😉 ), and therefore for me, his appearance looks rather in disguise, and like as if he is quite a stranger in his „own“ togs. Yeah, maybe it all comes down to being an actor! OTOH this appears only to be an issue for us RA-lovers, as we ogle him to such an extent, that we profess to know him so much better!!! Last years’s magnificent fashion shot with Glamour-Magazine in contrast is my (all-time?) personal favourite!! Maybe the actual published results (after photoshopping etc) are going to look totally different (FAULT magazine!!!), and the coat with this special/ugly collar turns out to be dark….. LOL

I’ve watched “The Rachel Zoe Project” on Bravo for a few years- she is a stylist. She has three kinds of work: (1) styling celebrities for red carpet and other events – where all the clothes are provided by the designers, including designers of shoes and jewelry – like Ilaria Urbinati who has been styling Richard Armitage, (2) editorial styling for magazines where the magazine selects the theme, based either on a trend or if the model is a celebrity, then for the model – the stylist provides the clothes, again borrowed from designers and styling for photo shoots where the subject and not the clothes are the focus – may be attendant to an article.
I’m not sure where the photo we saw fits in – but definitely, the stylist was going for on trend without regard to much else. What can be said other than he probably looks better in it standing up.
