cool, i'm living in Saigon, is that Continental Hotel behind them? The hotel is still there. I love to hang out around that area, there're a lot of things that resemble the ols Saigon.
What makes this photo so easy on the eyes? Stylish, but not too; well tailored clothes, but simple; one outstanding detail on each, his pleats and her shoes; timeless style for both. In this day and age, we are so overloaded with "style" options from head to toe that few people these days will ever comprise a future vintage shot as lovely as this.
I love this photo, it reminds me of my mum and dad. My mum always wore skirts or dresses, even ones she sewed herself. In fact, she made a lot of our clothes as kids. And the hair! When a man wanted to look casual, he simply left off wearing his suit jacket.
I have to say that eventthoe the photograph itself does have an aura of elegance…the woman in the photograph seems a little lost, a little sloppy, a little shoddily put together…just because a photograph is "vintage" it does not automatically give the people in it elegance and the je ne sais quoi element of someone with great style….

The woman's outfit reminds me massively of Jil Sander (granted that it's in black/white) mixed with some Prada. Those shoes! Me gusta.

And, one more thing, as I enjoy looking at this shot again, there is no hint of sexiness in their dress, rather the allure is in their togetherness.

I have to say that eventthoe the photograph itself does have an aura of elegance…the woman in the photograph seems a little lost, a little sloppy, a little shoddily put together…just because a photograph is "vintage" it does not automatically give the people in it elegance and the je ne sais quoi element of someone with great style….
