Did you guys miss the part of "Costume Institute Ball" and not "Proper tux/dinner suit formal" ? Have you seen how others dress for this? The point is to break convention and be over the top. Thom Browne is too conservative for this ball. Also, while Lapo wears a lot of duds (and likes to engage in some ****** sausage from time to time), the guy has more inherent style in his pinky than all of us on this forum. He pulls stuff off that is truly awesome, and I am not one of those James Bond/celebrity fanboys, this guys is a thoroughbred when it comes to dressing, he can do business, proper formal, street, gay rock and roll, the whole nine yards. Plus the arm candy he pulls out typically out of this world (ex. ********).
I think it does exactly what its intended to do, draw attention! He just wan'ts everyone to look at him and say "theres Lapo". Guy is a marketing machine and is only worried about drawing attention to himself and his brands. Not saying its correct or something i would consider wearing but it certaintly does what its intended.
Breaking convention is fine, but what does that have to do with poor fit? What would have been lost from the style of his outfit if his sleeves and trousers were traditionally 'correct'?
This is Styleforum. We don't care what people intend. We care about what makes them look ugly.
I'm sure he goes to so many similar events, making a single faux pas or wearing something distinctive for one night doesn't really matter at all to him. Nor should it to us for that matter.
I don't care if Lapo is Jesus reborn: that dinner suit is god awful.
You of all people should know that Obama is Jesus reborn!
rnold, you need a new nickname. I dub you SCROTUSF.
Thanks, I guess.
