This week we are stripping away colour.

Welcome to the Greyscale Challenge.

The objective is not to place a filter over a regular fitpic, but to take advantage of the medium by playing with light, contrast, shadow and texture.

Entries close Sunday 5pm AEST, the poll closes Tuesday 5pm AEST

Entries:

One business one casual





Insofar as stripping me of the use of color is sartorially akin to removing one of my limbs, here's today's attire without benefit of color.







Pre-wedding, the best I can do this week...







Not from this week, as that was not a requirement, but a recent WAYWRN fit including a couple of additional pics. The greyscale format seems to enhance the texture of the linen and suede in particular:

Cheers,
