First, I would like to tell you that I missed you in the Paris’ streets and that I hope that I’ll get you next time! I’ll have red cheeks but I’ll do it because your my little drug every morning! This elegant man is the husband of Delphine Arnault (daughter of Mr LVMH…and occasionally working at LOEWE and DIOR accessories).
Absolutely agree, this club-collar shirt doesn’t look costumey at all: I think the tie and the fit of the jacket make it perfectly modern.Very good look.
You’re right, this is not an easy collar to pull off. It requires a perfect knot and a slim suit. He carries it well, it helps when you’re handsome and he is.
I believe that gentleman is the husband of Delphine Arnault, Bernard Arnault’s daughter (president of LVMH). Quite a dashing fellow. From what I could remember from the article covering their wedding in W magazine, I believe he is an heir to an Italian liquor business.
I agree Sar about Club Collar shirts, but I think that’s because when we normally see them, it’s usually at costume or themed parties when people are attempting to look like they belong in a barber shop quartet, haha.
I like how he treats it like a regular dress shirt with a modern cut suit.
The mouth, the eyes, and especially the hair make the collar work. I think a hundred other guys could wear this same suit/shirt/tie and look like clowns, but this guy looks great.
Have never seen it done better. The angle of the spread is perfect to the millimeter. Every other choice he made helps it along, but your eyes are drawn to tha collar. Bravo.
Most club collars are modelled on point collars; this one is modelled on a spread. With the skinny lapels of the jacket the round points are kind of jarring, but in a way that I like.
always wanted to own a shirt like this …..he has inspired me here ….wearing it in a rather contemporary /modern fashion….an updated look from the costume look
He seems so comfortable with himself,he must think about his outfit for the day in the morning and then forget about it for the rest of the day.great style,great haircut…wonder what scent he wears.

Nice! With collars, it’s never just about their shape, but the way the collar works–or doesn’t–with face- and head-shape.
(But I’ve always thought club collars a little too polo-shirt-collarish for comfort….)

It’s the hair and attitude that makes it work. No offence, but I don’t think you could pull it off, Scott.

It works with his face and also the tie knot is perfect with this collar.
BTW will you be at the main store or the Men’s Store when at the SF Saks on Saturday? They have two locations in the City.

Is a club collar the male version of a Peter Pan collar? It looks a bit strange over a tie.

HLove the photo and shirt looks good on him. Not a big fan of that sort of collars – but it sooths him !
Scott, thank you also for the lovely photos you took over fashion week – NYC, London, Milan and Paris.
Always a source for inspiration !
You are the best ;-)

That must be a shirt from the excellent Savile row-tailor Spencer Hart. Their club-collar shirts are the best ever. Check ‘em out.

The best part about this picture- and I am a total pervert for saying this, is that fact that his tie is sticking out the bottom of his jacket.

I love how his hair echoes the curve of his collar.
Also: Is his jacket button still buttoned while he’s sitting?
