We decided to ask some of our most fabulous fashionista friends to name their Style Heart Throbs. Any man, any era, we want to know who/what/wear gets their pulses racing.
To kick off the series, who better to ask than Fin herself?!
Gene Kelly - simple, classic, fuss-free, great for a dance - just like Fin's
Style Heart Throb?
Gene Kelly
Why?
He was so effortless, and his style reflected that. When you think of all the fabulous dancing in those old films, it all seemed so buttoned up. Gene Kelly made it look so nonchalant.
Any particular look that inspires?
He tried to break free from the stuffy conventions of the 1930s and early 40s, when top hat and tails or tuxedos were the norm, by dancing in casual or everyday work clothes. The clean lines and neutral palettes are timeless and so chic. And I love how he rolled up his trousers up to show his white socks and loafers – I just wish he were around today to wear Fin’s. (Not sure the rubber soles would do much for his tap dancing though!)
Which Fin’s would you choose for him?
The Reggie Leather in Torquay Tan, with or without the white socks!
