Alain Delon And Brigitte Bardot Coast Along...



Alain Delon and Brigitte Bardot coast along the St. Tropez waters during the summer of August 1968. Brigitte and Alain accepted an invitation from 'French yachtsman', Eric Tabarly, to enjoy some leisurely time while on the Mediterranean sea. The legendary French actors strutted a black on black bathing suit outfits with a hint of colored prints for laid back yet dapper look.





A young Alain and Brigitte starred in a small film by Michel Boisrond entitled, "Les amours célèbres". Released in 1961.

Gunter Sachs & Brigitte Bardot: Summer at Via dei Condotti


Summer lovin' was definitely in full swing in 1967, when Gunter Sachs and Brigitte Bardot strolled the famous street of Via dei Condotti, which happens to be one of Rome's most famed avenues. Their are clothing boutiques and all sorts of wondrous things.

The duo's matching white smart shirts parred along with Brigitte's suede or corduroy trousers (?) make for a perfect summer ensemble. Also, both individuals' choice of snazzy belts and shoes only finish an already easy breezy look.

Gunter Sachs Will Always Be Remembered



Oh Mister Gunter Sachs, what can I say that hasn't already been documented. His thrilling wedding proposal to French bombshell legend Brigitte Bardot, set the standard for all hopeless romantics out there. As the story goes, Sachs threw a bunch of beautiful roses over Miss Bardot's home estate in St.Tropez in the summer of July 14th of 1966.

But lets quickly get back to why Gunter Sachs became a well-respected artist during the 1960's and 70's. He was very familiar to those as a German photographer, a documentary film-maker and author. Not only was he as sharp as a knife behind the lens, but he was also a fashion icon in his own right during the late 60's and 70s. Always strutting a relaxed yet very polished look, Gunter set the style for keeping everything small in detail while adding that much needed pizazz to an otherwise drab outfit. In other words, opting for small adjustments sometimes make a big difference.


Such is the case above with Gunter Sachs' paisley tie which goes along well with his navy blue blazer and light colored trousers. He along with the likes of Alain Delon, taught me that sometimes a small detail can spice up a very classic ensemble in a way that expresses your personality. He recently passed away on May 7 of this year. We salute you Mister Sachs for everything beautiful you left behind. R.I.P...thanks for everything.

Andy Warhol, Andy Warhol! Roll Out Your Silkscreen Portraits



What did Andy Warhol think of the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Halston, Valentino, Diane von Furstenberg, Giorgio Armani, John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Brigitte Bardot, Jane Fonda, Debbie Harry, Liza Minelli, Grace Jones, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, all of whom were either leading figures in fashion, musique, art, cinema, and culture? Well he obviously must of thought very highly of these individuals because in the mid 1970's, Andy reincarnated his iconic silkscreen portraits, similar to those he originally created in the 1960s of Elizabeth Taylor and Jackie O.




On this post, I've included some examples of Andy's brilliant silkscreen art pieces that still hold an impressionable artistic voice, some 40 years after it's creation. This is exactly what i've always said, there are flavor's of the month and than there classics. Andy Warhol, a pioneer of the Pop art movement era, truly exemplifies this notion To a T.
