August 15, 2013 by Ville Raivio

Today’s link leads to GQ’s Personal Style series which featured Gay Talese two years ago. The text sees him go through the roots of his fascination with tailoring, his preferences for the very best (even if one can’t afford it), the biggest style mistake men make and dressing up for the story.

His life philosophy: ‘I’m also aware that many journalists are poorly dressed. When they die, somebody will put a nice suit on them and place them in a casket. If they dress up for their death, why not dress up when alive?’

    Gay Talese wrote a beautiful article about his father, called the ‘brave tailors of Maida’. It should be in the Keikari archives. Oh, here it is:
