(One man's style)
Speak Finnish?
Richard and I were stopped (but not frisked) on the streets of Soho last summer by Elina Simonen who was working on a shoot for the Finnish magazine, Anna.
I recently received an email from Elina with the link to the story. Here is the copy, with translation from the Finnish by Google Translator and edited by me.
Peeps of New York
Walt Whitman said, "Give me such shows - give me the streets of Manhattan!"
The scene has changed since Whitman's time, but the basic idea has not.
On the streets of Manhattan, it's a constant show. Elina's new pictures from New York bring a welcome dimension to the YMT to the couple.
"Wonderful people! The gentleman in the first picture hits a home run with the matching violet tones of his shirt and the tote. Psychedelic prints vs. flower pattern, who won? Everyone. When the personal styles of a couple compliment one another in the manner shown by these street style superstars, we are talking about the essence of style."

New York. If you can wear it there, you can wear it anywhere.
Peeps of New York, Carol and Richard
Hello Carol, what a wonderful blog you have! And thank you for mentioning our blog Yhden miehen tyyli.
ReplyDeleteYou both look absolutely amazing in the picture above. Not trying to knock Google translate or anything but here's a another translation of the last paragraph :)

I hope that makes a bit more sense?
All the best, Jani/Yhden miehen tyyli
