Modernist Fashion in SL


This awesome suit from Shiki has a classic sixties feel to it, granted the more outlandish colours would perhaps struggle to pull off a sixties look but in classic black and white check it does it beautifully. It has a traditional English feel to it, worn with a waistcoat and straight white shirt and black tie [as supplied by Josef], reminiscent of the 007 suits worn by Sean Connery as James Bond.

Shiki specializes in contemporary Japanese styles but many of the designs can be used in a classic Modernist fashion hook, the argyle sweaters are standard casual wear, the hipster jeans and trousers scream early sixties, whilst the style of the suits are classically sixties in look and colour scheme. Vibrant yet traditionally styled, Shiki should definitely be added to you virtual modernist shopping list.

The suit is accessorized with cool PrimOptic Arkos glasses and a FKNY cigarette nonchalantly dangling from the mouth, hey its the sixties smoking was essentially cool back then.
