New Modern Classic...Vintage Double RL


"Personal style is about having a sense of yourself and what you believe in, which is basically-self confidence. When you have that confidence you can wear whatever you want and project something personal about who you are and how you feel. Dressing, then, can be an adventure. You dress for the role you're playing on a particular day."
- Ralph Lauren

More than fifteen years later these images are just as inspiring today as they were in the early 90's. No matter how you make a living we all have some kind of personal uniform that puts us in a certain mind set to do what we do best. When Quentin Tarantino directed Kill Bill he wore clothing that reflected the genre of the scene he was shooting that day. As a film director I've always related to that. The idea of your style literally effecting your emotional and physical performance. Think about it. What do you wear for your role?
