You know I actually like and approve most of this list. It is nice to see some people off the beaten.

I'm surprised with how good this list is.

Ferry looks awesome (not surprising).

 

[Get Smart]

It is a really good list overall. I think Tom Brady could have been omitted for FRED ASTAIRE instead!!

+1. Well said.

 

[AlanC]

Who's Fred Astaire?

 

[AldenPyle]

Probably Fred Astaire was more stylish before 1957.

There're a number of very good choices there.

Any number of bad one, imo, also:


Bob Dylan
Kurt Cobain
Michael Jordan

just to name four.

There are any number on the list whose style I also am ignorant of. Frankly, I didn't think de Kooning looked all that good. If he's stylish, couldn't they find a better pic? Same with a couple others.

Yves St. Laurent was always exquisitely dressed. That guy had real style. It would have been surprising if he had been omitted (especially given his almost certainly favorable status with the fashionistas who run GQ).

He was a crappy musician and a far crappier dresser.

Have you seen the clothes he wore?

Also insinuating that Cobain was more of a legend than Dylan is is rather ridiculous.

There are three kinds of people in this world. Those who can count. And those who can't.

Oh damn. By way of explanation, I had Tom Brady on there too but deleted him after admitting that I didn't know much about him.


Kurt Cobain dressed like an utter slob. I lived in Seattle during the whole grunge thing. Blech.

I'm open to changing my mind about Dylan's style. Show me some pictures of him being stylish. I'll see if I agree. But his music sucks imo. Sorry, I'm a philestine. Who can neither count nor spell, I'm sure.

Just because he wasn't dressed in 3 piece suits with perfectly styled hair and shined shoes doesn't mean that he didn't leave an impact on fashion and style.
He was the poster boy of Seattle and grunge that brought that style of dressing into the limelight and onto the catwalks of Commes des Garcons/the other Japanese AG and Perrry Ellis (Courtesy of Marc Jacobs). You had all this flannel and dirty jeans that people were wearing in Seattle via second hand shops, thrifts stores or whatever means they could find. Soon after that you have a plaid flannel shirt jacket coming off a designer's runway for $500. Kurt Cobain may not have been stylish by this forum's standards; but, he did help the impact of a style that lasted nearly 1/5 of the time frame of people they are choosing from.
