Style: Dennis Hopper, icon of the week

We'd like to talk remember Dennis Hopper as an icon style. The great actor who was always capable of achieving the right look for each of his performances.  

Dennis Lee Hopper was an American actor, filmmaker, photographer and artist. As a young man, Hopper became interested in acting and eventually became a student of the Actors Studio. He made his first television appearance in 1954 and appeared in two films featuring James Dean, Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956). During the next ten years, Hopper appeared frequently on television in guest roles, and by the end of the 1960s had played supporting roles in several films.

Style: Serge Gainsbourg, style icon of the week

It's been a long time since we don't publish a post about style. But today, we're ready to retake this section of the blog and we'd like to talk about Serge Gainsbourg. 

Serge was a French singer, songwriter, pianist, film composer, poet, painter, screenwriter, writer, actor and director. Regarded as one of the most important figures in French popular music, he was renowned for his often provocative and scandalous releases, as well as his diverse artistic output, which embodied genres ranging from jazz, mambo, world, chanson, pop and yé-yé, to rock and roll, progressive rock, reggae, electronic, disco and new wave. Gainsbourg's varied musical style and individuality make him difficult to categorize although his legacy has been firmly established and he is often regarded as one of the world's most influential popular musicians.

We specially like this photo of Serge where he appears with three-piece pinstripe suit worn without a tie or socks, but with his favourite white Repetto dancing shoes.

We're sure you recognize this beautiful song he wrote =)

Style: Marlon Brando, the icon of the week

We like Marlon Brando, and certainly we also like his style. That's why we've chosen him to be our second style icon. 

Marlon Brandon was an American screen and stage actor. He is widely regarded for bringing a gripping realism to film acting and is generally considered to have been one of the greatest and most influential actors of the 20th century.

And apart from being one of the best actors we have ever known, he was a style icon because no matter what he wore he always was able to give it his own style interpretation. From the military uniform in Apocalypse Now to the dinner jacket in The Goodfather or the camel coat in Last Tango in Paris. 

We specially like him in this scene of The Wild One. No one knows how to wear a hat like that and a leather jacket with that style!

We think Marlon would have liked this combination made with Stetson's Alpha hat, and Hardy&Parsons' Besford belt. Perfect to complete his look!
