New trend: Tie tucking

May 18, 2012 13:18

There’s a new trend emerging on the streets of New York, London and Paris: Tie tucking, photos below are from one of my fave street style blogs STREETFSN.

Not sure who took the trend to street level (perhaps Nick Wooster?), however tie tucking has been a regular feature in the military for long. I remember one of my ex’s used to do it and I thought it looked really stupid. But seeing it on these well-dressed men above – I really like this trend! What do you think? Fad or fab?

Carmen Dell’Orefice unveiled the first exhibition dedicated to her astonishing sixty-six year career as one of the world’s most enduring supermodels in November of last year. Haven’t had time to see it yet? Don’t worry, the exhibition is now extended until 31st of January.

Dell’Orefice has been a celebrated icon since the end of world-war two beginning her modelling career at the age of thirteen, being discovered on a bus on New York on her way to ballet class. In 1947 she graced her first cover of Vogue which came to be the starting point of her long career in fashion. Last summer, in recognition of her big contribution to the fashion industry, Dell’Orefice was awarded an honorary doctorate from the University of the Arts London.

Held in the Fashion Space Gallery of London College of Fashion, the showcase displays Dell’Orefice’s career from 13-year-old new model, to 80-year-old icon via all the career ups and downs in between with never before seen photographs from her personal archives alongside her professional work posing for legendary photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton and Irving Penn. Carmen herself being a living legend.
