Death and grooming

Wallpaper magazine shot at the Brion-Vega cemetery for its September 2008 issue's Death in Veneto cover editorial.



What I noticed even before the morbidly sleek monochrome outfits was the Wolverine hair.



In time for Halloween?



I bet this hairdo would be good even with colored and casual clothes.



Though you would have to have it black and not blonde, and it helps if you have a high forehead, or even a widow's peak.





The slickback becomes a slick-up?



Whatever its creators decided to call it, the hairstyle brings a different kind of austerity.



Sleek and intimidating even without the adamantium.

Style Sightings

Stumbled upon this street style site only a few days ago. What I like about it is that it has absolutely no air of pretension. It features both the sartorial and the downright whacky, even surveying clubs and beaches, and occasionally, its author launches into reverie.

Take a peek at its most recent menswear posts.

Joshua Kissi from Street Etiquette

I stumbled on Street Etiquette via Joshua Kissi's Lookbook page. He is quite popular on the outfit site. He and Travis Gumbs are the gentlemen behind the blog.

There's an important lesson to be learned from Joshua's outifts: you can be simple yet strikingly stylish by the use of color contrasts.

He deals with solids, giving them subtle accents through his accessories.

I've yet to go through the entirety of the duo's site. But gauging from the most recent pages, I think there are many interesting things packed in the posts. I especially like the New York City entries, where one gets a feel of the city — where the buildings, streets, and people are not just backgrounds for street style photos. A real photo diary.

Last but not the least: I hope I can someday pull off red jeans like Joshua does. Definitely dope.

Brother and sister

Precocious plaid partners.

Green without the envy.

Could they be their parents in style?
