In his typical off-beat, quirky fashion, Mordechai Rubinstein of Mister Mort models four colors of the Levi's x Opening Ceremony corduroy collections in monochrome suits. (You know where I stand on the subject.)
With beanie and a completely unaware teddy.
Mustard: a good color to rough it in shorts.
Of course, can we miss out on the immaculate monochrome ethic?
The buttons (the designs are based on the 505) are enough accessory.
Moss green jacket. I know cords are too hot for the tropics, but jeans in very thin ribbing can be very useful for adding texture to an outfit — in the latter, cooler months, that is.
In turquoise. No toy companion. Replaced by apache chief.
Though this, and many other shades of green, went into currency a short time back, rendered in cords gives the shade a retro feel.
Mr. Mort's teddy, he says, is made out of shirt patches. A very important style note: no belt.
His fedora collection most probably comes in more colors than the clothes that he models.
Is this the color rose? Just image all the dark, serious hues you can match it with. Of course, you need more than one to overpower it.
So let's end with a video by photographer Ryan McGinley. Youth as raw as the fabric, and of course, as witnessed jumping, in flight, in the "wilderness", and in awkward innocence. Retro indeed.
