A number of menswear illustrations by Robert Goodman, every bit as wonderful as those by Fellows and Saalburg. I've only meant to organize and share these for two or three years! Better late than never I suppose.

E specially about the personal details of our lives. There is a lot that OUGHT to be kept more private in 2022 than has become the accepted norm for many. With the conscious and intentional cultivation of classic style in mind, however, we want to avoid oversharing and keep a bit more of ourselves to ourselves. Exactly what personal information and how much of it to keep private seems to be a slippery concept though. Here’s my take based on what I was told and observed as a child and young person at home. Basically, one should keep oneself to oneself in all respects (finances, personal worth, accomplishments, politics, sex, dirty laundry, etc.). As my late father used to advise when we were very small, and I am talking preschool and kindergarten, there were particular subjects that were not discussed outside the immediate family. There is a time and place for sharing certain details of one’s life, but most of the time, those should be played very close to the chest,
I think I prefer these, with the accentuated profiles of Fellowes.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. I had seen some of these before and thought they were by Fellowes. Thanks for setting me straight. What a wonderful, lost world. Aspirational, of course as with any commercial advertising and fashion art, but just look at what people were aspiring to, rather than the slovenly, vacant-eyed, pouters in contemporary fashion ads. Many thanks, Heinz-Ulrich.
