GQ's 5x7 portrait series by Bill Gentle follows a bunch of menswear movers and shakers (including fellow blogger Mr. Mort) during this past New York Fashion week, capturing them in a variety of kits and providing commentary from its subjects. Mr. O'Brien is the undisputed focus of this as far as I am concerned and it's pretty cool to approach his pictures as a winter sartorial primer courtesy of The Style Guy himself. Check out a week in the wardrobe of Glenn O'Brien below and be sure to take some time to view the entire 5x7 feature if you haven't already - it's brimming with inspiration and is for sure the best thing GQ has done in a minute.

"I'm having lunch with my agent so I wore my vintage Calvin Curtis dollar sign tie, and it seemed to go with the slightly violet Richard James suit, the Charvet shirt, and the Black Fleece boots. Too bad you can't see the violet houndstooth Paul Smith socks."

ReplyDelete2nd picture, the small chest on top of the book case. I REALLY want to know more about that chest. It's got "story" written all over it.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see Glenn looking consistently well-put together. Sometimes when I see him pop up on the Sartorialist, I've questioned his choices. He always is entertaining on the GQ podcast, when he's on.
