crazy old guys at fashion week(s).

james goldstein at anna sui spring 2010 rtw.

hey loves!

tonight was the FCHS spring coffeehouse, and it was amazing, as always. we had a HUGE crowd & the music was great. & made vegan brownies & everyone loved them! good night. :) i'll have another post devoted to the event (and the outfit, of course!) later this weekend, if all goes well. :)

however, tonight's post is about those random old guys you see at fashion week -- you know, those guys where you're like, "why is he here?" okay, these people are actually probably quite well known in the fashion world, but besides them being associated with magazines or photography, i have no idea. xD ignorance is bliss.

but anyway. i love these guys! they're refreshing and interesting. so look on!

hamish bowles! you'll be seeing more of this man -- he's always dressed snazzily, & c'mon, who doesn't love that mustache? at calvin klein spring 2010 rtw.

bill cunningham at chloe spring 2010 rtw. he's so adorable; he reminds me of my late great uncle
.

terry jones. balenciaga spring 2010 rtw.

terry richardson & olivier zahm, respectively. they're kinda scruffy and remind me of the 70's rock scene and i just LOVE IT.



and last but certainly not least, patrick demarchelier! a highly respected photographer, this man dresses like a dressier version of my grandfather. in fact, their jackets pretty much are identical. and i adore this! first is from chanel spring 2010 rtw, second is chloe spring 2010 rtw.

so! i hope you find these guys to be inspiring. they all just dress the way they please (especially james goldstein -- which is why he's a great inspiration to me!), which can be very hard in the world of fashion. but they make it work, and they are fabulous.

share your opinions with me!

with love,
rachel. <3
