Appreciating the Alluring Alex with pics, part 28

[Fleur de Lisa]

Someone needs to sign this man up to model suits. And I'm not talking about the place where you buy one suit and get another free, along with 3 shirts and a tie.

I'm talking Hugo Boss. Or Armani.

These clothes don't wear him, he wears them. Very well, I might add.

I wish they'd put him in red once.

Oh and . I can't believe I let this slide, because, um, well, that sounds like a FABULOUS idea.

Ahem. Be sure you get pictures.

And suit heaven...
Thank you all.

I don't know why, but the notion of Alex in a red Armani suit conjured up an image of a very handsome devil indeed

Zegna, baby.

(I have no idea WHY I'm the only person who can see this is a match made in heaven)

Ok, so enlighten me, my knowledgeable Beauty. His stuff seems a little... Swishy? Fussy? Not totally masculine? Extreme aristocrat?... To me. Maybe it's just some pieces. Maybe it's his choice of models. Maybe it's because there's not a lot of it in the Provinces, so I'm missing the good stuff, cos yeah, not much in stores here.

Now, I will admit, on Alex, his stuff would automatically look masculine and his cuts seem to suit Alex's tall slim self...

Cos if I gotta start negotiating a deal with a designer, I wanna pick the right one...

[redwinter101]

Ha! The reason I'm such a Zegna fan is the Italian cut - very different from a French, US or UK cut - slim at the shoulder, narrower lapels, lower break. Just perfect for Alex.

And just a little bit off mainstream.

Gotta love this board: We educate ourselves on everything!

Here I am having my morning java, checking out the Ermenegildo Zegna site! I was aware of this designer (have walked past his store in Chicago, but never entered) but wasn't familiar with his particular style.

I can see why you think Alex could model his clothing, red. It is a bit on the funky side...in the sense that his suits are not strictly structured, basic pieces. There is a bit of interesting flair and personality, and having seen some of Alex's past fashion choices, I could see him fitting into this realm. Alex can be all over the place with his fashion choices, and I think that type of personality would make him perfect for him being a Zegna spokesman. Alex doesn't take that sort of thing seriously, but whatever he puts on, is worn well. With perfect proportions like he has,it's impossible for him to not look amazing.

Granted, Zegna's male models are much more androgynous than Alex, but we've all seen Alex make a flowery shirt look manly. His slim body type is perfect for this type of fashion.

I cannot believe how much time I just devoted to this particular subject!

I'd also say that while a lot of his stuff is ready to wear, his speciality is bespoke. I'm swooning just thinking about it.

Oh and of course the other perfect choice would be Brioni, James Bond's tailor of record.

He looks awesome in Hause of Howe, with or without eyewear...

I do love that second pic, Red.

Not only is the suit very nice on him but I love the super short hair and beard together.

I never posted many of those pics because so many people don't seem to like that look and it made 'em go kind of squirly. I LOVE it - I think he looks amazing. In one of the close ups he's just SO sparkly-eyed, it's breath-taking:

Well I thank you. I'm most definitely not squirly over these and I think it's a great look for him. I have always been partial to a bearded look for Alex. His eyes do really stand out in these pics.

[redwinter101]

As they do in this one, which is a strong contender for my all-time favourite Alex pic:



Just...
