LITTLE ASHES
June 27, 2009
It is 1925 and you are visiting Dalí and Ana María in Cadaqués. The days are filled with the magic of the Mediterranean sun, the echoing sea, and breathtaking bicycle sojourns through the lush hills with your mate—the great Dalí! These are days when life is art and poetry is written with each breath. Oh, to be alive with the beauty of youth and intellect and passion! In your great cinematic dramatist mind, you record it all, every moment, every flash of light, each tickle of the wind. Upon your return to Madrid, you will unleash Oda a Salvador Dalí to the world, for you are Federico García Lorca and you have just accepted an invitation to a dream. Low-rise hemp chinos (rawganique.com), classic white linen shirt (Banana Republic), Italian Spectator shoe (jpeterman.com), Barathea brace in khaki via Albert Thurston, and a vintage pale yellow tie, to be worn loosely on an open collar, will complete the mood of carefree elegance amid the splendor of youth and romance. For inspiration, see director Paul Morrison’s film, Little Ashes, or take a copy of Lorca’s Selected Verse with you to the nearest secluded beach.

I wish I could escape burning London and retreat to a secluded beach with some Lorca in my back pocket. The Italian Spectator shoes are truly special.
So nice to see you blogging again!

Thank you. The film’s strong point is the fashion–for sure.
