Life, Wilde And Japanese Prep Circa 1975

• Everyone’s plundering the Life archive for great style shots since it became available online. Check out these socks.

• ASW’s been up to it as well. Spaghetti in a pale suit is bad enough – but painting?

• One more great article on Dandyism.net. This time on that revolutionary, Oscar Wilde.

• And going back to the Dandyism archive on Wilde, the debate that went on after this post was worth checking out. The ‘aspiring douche’ housecoat.

• Have you seen Finch’s Quarterly Review? Check out the posts from Milan shows.

• A £70,000 suit? It better be some pretty nice wool.

• Finally, want to see what the Japanese take on Ivy League style was in 1975? It’s worth a look, honestly.
